MONROVIA — President Joseph Nyuma Boakai has announced plans to de-monopolize the Freeport of Monrovia, signaling a major shift in Liberia’s port operations even as his administration weighs whether to approve or veto controversial port decentralization legislation. “The National Port Authority remains a critical gateway to Liberia’s economy,” President Boakai said.

The transitional Charter, adopted shortly after the coup, bars the junta leaders, including General Inta-A, from running in the transition election.
