    Monrovia, Liberia – Chief Justice Yamie Quiqui Gbeisay has mandated a sweeping credential audit and personnel verification exercise across the judiciary, targeting judges, magistrates, and all judicial staff.

    The Civil Service Agency (CSA), in collaboration with the judiciary, will conduct the verification beginning Thursday, August 28, 2025, and continuing until September 4, 2025. The week-long exercise will start with courts in Montserrado County, including the Temple of Justice, Paynesville, Gardnersville, and several other magisterial courts.

    According to the Judiciary, all personnel are required to present their original academic credentialsalong with a valid National Identification card. Officials have stressed that failure to comply will lead to administrative consequences, which could include suspension or removal from the judiciary’s workforce.

    Chief Justice Gbeisay emphasized that the initiative is a critical step in his broader reform agenda to strengthen the integrity of Liberia’s justice system. He noted that the judiciary has long faced credibility challenges, fueled in part by allegations of unqualified personnel and administrative irregularities.

    “The audit will ensure that only competent and duly qualified individuals serve in our courts,” Chief Justice Gbeisay said. “This is essential to rebuilding public trust, enhancing professionalism, and promoting accountability within the judiciary.”

    The move has sparked conversations among legal practitioners and citizens alike. Many view the exercise as timely, given ongoing concerns about corruption, inefficiency, and declining confidence in the rule of law. Others have raised questions about how widespread the problem of falsified or unverified credentials may be within the system.

    As the process gets underway, all eyes will be on the results of the audit and the judiciary’s next steps in enforcing standards.

    This unprecedented measure could mark a turning point in Liberia’s efforts to strengthen judicial transparency and restore confidence in the courts.
