Lessons from foreign investments in Liberia Recommendations:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Provisions in existing concession agreements which application has never been
realized should either be enforced or cancelled. Most notable among these
clauses are the provisions with respect to health care for the company’s
employees and the education of their children. The Liberian Government should
address itself as to whether the inclusion and enforcement of such obligations
of the employer are justified or whether it considers these activities as the
exclusive responsibility of the National Government. If the latter would be the
case, the foreign investors’ role would be limited to the payment of a fair
amount of taxes and/or royalties and to contribute to the development of a
balanced economy in conformity with the economic policies of the Government of
Liberia.
