Capitol Hill, Monrovia – The management of Firestone Liberia has been summoned to appear before the House of Representatives today, Thursday under contempt charges for allegedly enforcing its redundancy plan amid a stay order placed by the House in July 2020. “… Unfortunately, Mr. Speaker, Firestone has been issuing letters of redundancy that was advised against by this plenary. Rep. Tibelrosa Tarponweh of Margibi County District #1 has been a staunch advocate for imminent redundant employees of Firestone Liberia. “The actions being taken are intended to allow Firestone Liberia to remain a core investor in the country. As always, Firestone Liberia remains a committed partner of the people and government of Liberia, with the shared goal of the preservation and enhancement of the country’s natural rubber industry.”
