According to organizers, the latest 50 motorbikes were added to an earlier donation of 100, bringing the total number distributed to 150.
Images of the donation circulated widely on social media, prompting questions from members of the public about how the Minister financed the contribution.
Miamen also questioned Tingban’s previous record of similar donations before assuming public office and called for scrutiny of the assets, income, and liabilities he declared to the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission before taking office.
Beldel further called for stronger lifestyle audits of public officials and greater scrutiny of the sources of wealth used to finance large public donations.
Nor have the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission, the Office of the Ombudsman, or the General Auditing Commission announced any formal inquiry into the matter.
