-As LAWMAKER CALLS FOR AUDIT

In wake of claims and counter claims of corruption allegations in the usage of the Grand Kru County Development Fund,  the Superintendent of Grand Kru County,  Antoinette Worwlee Nimely has come under intense allegations of corruption by youth of the county, but she challenged her critics to prove their allegations.

The Superintendent made these assertions during this week when she was contacted via phone call to address herself to the inquiries concerning the Grand Kru County Development Fund.

She also welcomed call by Grand Kru County Electoral District #2 Representative,  Cllr. J. Fonati Koffa, who had formally requested the Ministry of Local Government to facilitate an independent and comprehensive audit of the Grand Kru County Development Fund (CDF), citing the need to strengthen transparency, accountability, and public confidence in the management of county development resources.

The youth alledged that nearly all those given contracts by the Superintendent have failed to complete their projects, while others have abandoned their projects and fled to Monrovia.

In a defense the Superintendent said her administration financial records are transparent and has nothing to worry about or hide. 

The request, by the lawmaker is contained in a formal communication dated July 29, 2026, and addressed to the Minister of Local Government, Hon. Francis S. Nyumalin, calls on the Ministry to collaborate with the General Auditing Commission (GAC) to conduct a comprehensive financial, compliance, and performance audit of the County Development Fund covering the 2024–2026 fiscal years.

Although Representative Koffa’s communication did not specify the monetary value of the funds to be audited, but information gathered indicates that approximately US$53,000 plus was allegedly allocated to the Grand Kru County Development Fund during the two-years period.
