“We are just wrapping the MCC compact of US$257 million in Liberia that the kinds of things in Liberia that the president and people have been asking for, additional electricity, additional water and build roads. In 2016, Liberia received a grant of US$257 million from the United States through the MCC to enhance its electricity and road projects. The 2019 score prompted President Weah to suggest a paradigm shift in the way MCC conduct its scorecard. So, if we get homework to do and we have courses to take, please give us the extra study class and let teachers be there, so we can make an effort,” President Weah said. At Thursday’s hearing, Mr. McCarthy praised Liberia’s post-war progress while trumpeting the ties between the two countries.
