Liberia: Local and Foreign Owned Businesses Crave Pres. FrontPageAfrica has gathered that almost 800 containers of staple food are stuck at the Free Port of Monrovia due to the Ministry’s action. As a result, the affected local and foreign owned businesses are appealing to President George Weah to intervene in the Ministry’s action against them. The Executive Order stated, “All Commercial Importers of goods into Liberia are exempted from seeking Import Permits and filling Import Permit Declarations. The importers of frozen food have expressed fears that their businesses will collapse if President Weah fails to intervene – something they believe will be contrary to the Pro-poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development.
