Monrovia – Responding to a recent release from Lonestar/MTN that Cellcom has intent to portray the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Lonestar/MTN in a negative way, Cellcom telecommunications says it is in the business of providing quality and affordable telecommunications service to the Liberian people and has no intent to be involved in Liberia’s political landscape.

None of our executives are running in elections so there is no way we would be engaged in promoting a negative campaign against Mr. Urey.
