Government’s silence perceived as indifferenceMonday, December 25 will be celebrated throughout the country as Christmas Day, but many Liberians are describing it as a ‘harsh Christmas’ because of the bad economy. Frances Stewart, 45, a used clothes dealer, said this year, Christmas business sales are very low due to the harsh financial difficulties in the country. “This is the worst Christmas sales I am having because there are more sellers than buyers on the street,” she lamented. Commercial driver Mamadee Kromah, 40, regretted that this year, Christmas trips to Lofa County are not earning him as much as in the past. “We are facing difficulties because of the high cost of petroleum products from the dealers,” said driver David Kolleh.
