All Robert said was that Arcelor Mittal was having trouble getting started because they refused to take the bribes from the government. For that, he spent several days in jail, forced to sit in a pile of human feces. The charges (whatever they may be, I have no clue) have yet to be dropped.

please allow me to make a correction to my earlier post in which I responded to “lonestar”. A typo was made in spelling the word “trumped”. Please accept this correction.

Shelby, obviously Mr. Johnson doesn’t live in Monrovia. Even if he did live here, he would be in a compound w/guards, not living in a normal dwelling in Barnersville or Paynesville. Take a look at the trumped up charges Mr. Robert Ferguson, of Acelor Mittal Steel was arrested for last Friday. All because he complained about the challenges of dealing w/local officials who want bribes. What about the rate of armed robbery and increase in thefts? What about the UN SG recent statements on the tenuous security environment. Brother, please.
