Amidst this sad reality, concessionaires earned tens of million from the illegal concession agreements, while education, health, infrastructure and etc. So, President George M. Weah’s decision to form a committee with the mandate to review all contracts between the Liberian government and concessionaires is welcoming but with a strong reservation.

That is, at the expense of their country’s resources, education, healthcare, infrastructure, security and etc.
