Following a meeting with rice importers in Liberia, President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. has disapproved any increase in the price of rice, stating that prices will remain unchanged pending further review. The Government of Liberia has strongly advised against hoarding this essential commodity and prohibited cross-border transfer or transshipment from Liberia.
The Ministries of Justice, Commerce and Industry, and the Joint Security have been instructed to ensure compliance with this directive. All parties are encouraged to cooperate as the government advances with the implementation of the ARREST Agenda for prosperity and national peace.
