Monrovia – Axel Addy, outgoing Minister of Commerce and Industry, has called on President George Weah to appoint Economists and technocrats at the ministry because “the Ministry needs Economists”. At his official turning over of authority to his successors, Professor Wilson Tarpeh, Addy said his administration worked over the years to transform the ministry from a political entity into a technical entity. “We spent a lot of energy trying to build the Ministry of Commerce as a technical ministry and not a political ministry." Addy has served Minister of Commerce and Industry during the Ellen Johnson Sirleaf regime since April 2013. Tarpeh assured his administration would improve the quality of goods and services prioritize attention to Lab for quality control and the construction of industry.
