The Liberian Minister of Mines and Energy, Gester E. Murray has, emphasised the importance of the electricity sector in the Pro-poor agenda of President George Weah.
He made this known during the licensing ceremony recently held at the Liberia Electricity Regulatory Commission (LERC) offices.
“As many of you may be aware that under the leadership of this government, Dr. Weah has mainstreamed electricity into his flagship program, which is the Pro-poor Agenda for peace and development,” Murray said.
He added that President Weah is doing everything in his power to ensure an improvement in the electricity sector.
The Central Bank of Liberia (CBL) Governor J. Aloysius Tarlue, who spoke at the event, pledged the Bank’s support in achieving a transformation of the sector to the benefit of Liberians in general.
The House of Representatives Chair of the Committee on energy and carbon, Vincent Willie, who attended the event, thanked the LERC and Liberia Electricity Corporation for their continuous efforts to improve the country’s electricity supply.
