The hearing on Monday is expected to bring together lawyers representing the Defendants and the Plaintiff to explain to the presiding Judge as to what really took place that gave rise to the lawsuit. The MFDP report also indicated “We verified twenty three (23) bridges and eight (8) drainages; out of the 8 drainages, six are untouched. It was also established that all of the bridges are still in deplorable state, meaning that they were not improved by the Company (PGL) in accordance with the contract,” the MFDP verification noted. However, the management of GNN-Liberia says it stand by the report published on its platform.
