MONROVIA – The Civil Society Network of Liberia(CSNL), an advocacy group primarily involved in community based initiatives and speaking for the rights of the Liberian people, has applauded the Liberian People for exercising what it calls high degree of patience amid the alleged shortage of Petroleum Products, mainly gas on the Liberian market.
Addressing a press conference in Monrovia on Thursday, February 6, 2020, the Executive Director of CSNL on behalf of the Executive Committee, Mr. Sensee Kiadii, said the CSNL was concerned about the alleged shortage of gas and reminded the Liberian Populace that these things happen, and in the event when it happens, “we should all treat it as a national engagement void of politics”.
The CSNL Boss also applauded the Management of the Liberia Petroleum Refinery Company(LPRC), which is headed by Madam Marie Urey-Coleman, for their robust action in restoring hope to the petroleum sector.
According to him, some individuals, who are bent on destroying the good image of the Management Team of the LPRC, are politicizing the gas situation for their selfish interest, but thanked God that the Liberian people did not give them credence.
However, the CSNL executive director encouraged the LPRC Management Team and the Ministry of commerce and Industry to put into place all necessary mechanisms in order to not have a reoccurrence of the situation.
“The Civil Society Network of Liberia wants to take this time to also caution both LPRC and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry to continue with their coexistence in all of their doings in order to avoid conflicting information to the Liberian People. On the other hand, we call all the companies that are involved in the business of petroleum s to live up to the agreement signed between them and LPRC in order to work for the betterment of the Liberian people,” Kiadii added .
Meanwhile, the reported shortage of petroleum products on the Liberian market has caused a serious increase in transportation fares across the country.
