Monrovia – Labour Minister Cllr. Charles H. Gibson has disclosed that since taken over the affairs as Chief Administrator of the Labour Sector of Liberia, he has observed that certain sectors need to be declared essential and restricted from the strike.
Minister Gibson said that the old Labour Law of Liberia prohibited entities that are involved with the provision of basic social services such as, water, electricity, telecommunications, airport services, and others because if they do, it will affect the entire population.
Says over 4,395 persons earmarked to benefit
The Government through the Ministry of Education (MOE) in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning (MFDP) has begun the disbursement of US$1 million Stimulus honorarium to private-school teachers in Liberia.
The disbursement, which started on Wednesday, December 23, 2020, is in fulfillment of recent pronouncement made by President George Manneh Weah in recognizing the financial difficulties private school teachers were experiencing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that intensified in the country earlier this year.
The honorarium, which according to the MOE, is also being paid to legitimate private-school teachers as the Government of Liberia’s appreciation of their selfless and invaluable contribution in molding the minds of the upcoming generation during the peak of COVID-19.
