SENATOR AMARA KONNEH ADVOCATES FOR AFFORDABLE ELECTRICITY TO BOOST LIBERIAN ECONOMY

Date:

MONROVIA, LIBERIA – Senator Amara Konneh of Gbarpolu County has reignited the push for cheap and affordable electricity to fuel Liberia’s economic growth. In a recent session at the Senate, Senator Konneh emphasized the importance of addressing the country’s energy challenges as a means to expand the Liberian economy.

The Senate, under the leadership of the Pro Tempore, allowed a comprehensive debate focusing on the electricity sector, particularly highlighting the roles of the Liberia Electricity Regulatory Commission (LERC) and the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC). The discussion on the Senate floor was charged with determination to tackle Liberia’s longstanding energy crisis.
