“Operating a business in Liberia is challenging and expensive considering the increasing costs.
1. High importation, taxation, and handling costs.
2. Electricity, piped water, internet, fuel, and gasoline costs are high, with power and water supply being unreliable.
3. Despite the 2011 fiber optic project, many parts of the country lack reliable internet.
4. The city is dirty because waste management system is not sustainable. Our (citizens) mindset disposing of waste needs to compliment the MCC’s waste management plan.
5. Ongoing road construction and poor traffic management hinder road movement.
6. The Middle East conflict has driven up fuel and gas prices.
With these challenges, why increase GST? Who is advising these people?
We have to do better. Put the best minds in a room to come up with many progressive solutions that benefit the country and the people.”
