President Weah George Weah has complained that the lack of support for Liberian-owned businesses among the population is hurting the country — forcing more local businesses to default on the payments of loans.

The Liberia leader lamented that due to the failure of Liberians to buy from their fellow Liberian business people — the struggle to pay loans has become a living reality.

Many local business owners have for years’ expressed dissatisfaction about the kind of support they get from their compatriots who patronize foreign business.

President Weah made the revelation Monday, April 11, during a high-level cabinet meeting of the National Steering Committee of Pro-Poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development (PAPD) — intended to provide updates on the progress, challenges and prospects of the PAPD held at the Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf Ministerial Complex in Congo Town.
