Cllr. Brown says the company is not adhering to the Liberianization Policy that is intended to provide job opportunities for citizens of Liberia.

Addressing a press conference on the 7th of February 2022 in Sinkor Monrovia, he said the policy is an affirmative action that seeks to empower Liberians, emphasizing that no company should import workers, who are non-Liberians to occupy any position that Liberians are trained and qualified to occupy.
