Liberia's new President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf has sacked the entire staff of the finance ministry as part of her anti-corruption drive
BBC News:
She said the ministry's corrupt practices had embarrassed Liberia in front of the international community.
On Tuesday, the president told all outgoing ministers to stay in Liberia pending a financial audit.
Mrs Johnson-Sirleaf took power last month following elections intended to end 14 years of civil war.
She is promising to tackle the corruption that has retarded the development of resource-rich Liberia for decades.
In recent weeks, there have been reports of widespread theft from government offices and their vehicles, with reports of outgoing officials leaving with everything, including carpets, desks and light fittings.
