GoL Cancels Beach and Waterways Program, Move Towards a Replacement Program

Monrovia, Liberia - The Government of Liberia has officially terminated the Beach and Waterways Program inherited from the previous administration with massive arrears which this administration settled. As with the bloated Government wage structure inherited, the Beach and Waterways program has been riddled with fraud, waste, ghosts, and abuse.

It's administration has not reflected the level of fairness, especially regarding deserving workers who are entitled to their pay. Its recruitment has been problematic. And these have led to problems and omissions during pay, leading to protests and confusion.

Consistent with clean up done on the Government’s broken payroll, where workers have now been placed in specific pay grades reflecting their level of skills, where the arbitrary general allowance system has been abolished, and where hiring has now been centralized at the Civil Service Agency, the Government of Liberia will announce at some future date a corrective program to replace the problem-filled Beach and Waterways Program.

The timing, rules, recruitment process, and overall governance of the Replacement Program will be communicated to the general public. The Government will discuss and settle claims under the Beach and Waterways before announcing its Replacement Program.
