The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Liberia has issued a Halt order on construction activities of Abi Jaoudi and Azar Trading Corporation (Aja Group of Companies) at the Catholic Junction through a Notice of Violation of non-compliance of the institution’ mandate. The EPA through its Executive Director Mr. Nathaniel T. Blama, Sr. has mandated the Abi Jaoudi and Azar Corporation that said fine imposed be paid in Government revenue at the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) with an official receipt presented to the EPA within the next 72 hours. He further instructed the company that, all activities on the site be halted with immediate effect until further notice of authorization is presented to the company by the Agency. Consequently, the EPA Executive Director has called all companies operating within the country to comply with the Environmental Protection Management Law in order to avoid future embarrassment.
