Liberia's Finance Minister, Augustine Kpehe Ngafuan, announced that the country's record-breaking $1 billion in tax collections for the year has been fully expended and is not resting in government accounts.

The funds were allocated toward several key areas, including the funding of new soldiers, the execution of early salary payments, and the settlement of long-overdue debts owed to local banks and media houses.

Despite the milestone tax haul, the administration is now bracing for a significant financial shortfall, projecting a $200 million gap moving forward.
