Mr. Wilson Tarpeh has been appointed by the President, George Weah, as the new Commerce Minister of Liberia.

Commerce Minister Tarpeh, in his new job beginning today, will soon realize that even the importation of our staple food, rice, is controlled by a Lebanese monopoly, and foreign business people also control most of the wholesale and retail businesses. Mr. Tarpeh will immediately have to tackle this problem, too, if he, his boss, President Weah and the rest of us must arrest the ‘marginalization’ of Liberian business people. By organizing seminars and workshops for Liberian business people to impart the importance of developing honesty and a high sense of responsibility in business.
