MONROVIA, LIBERIA-Information Minister Jerolinmek Piah has disclosed plans by the Liberian Government to restore Liberia’s Central Printing facility, which was destroyed during the civil war.

Speaking at the Ministry of Information regular press briefing Thursday, Minister Piah said,” Funding has been approved, and procurement for equipment is already underway”.

According to Minister Piah, the facility is essential for protecting official government documents.

He noted that previous administrations failed to restore the institution, despite several attempts.

The Information Minister described the project as an important step toward strengthening government information management and security.

At the same time, the information boss said the equipment is expected to arrive in Liberia between August and September.

At the same time, Minister Piah has revealed that all 305 pieces of agricultural equipment procured by the government have been loaded onto vessels in China and are on their way to Monrovia.

He said,” The equipment is expected to arrive in Liberia between August and September”.

Minister Piah said,” The agricultural machinery will complement the 284 yellow machines recently acquired by the government, supporting efforts to improve both road infrastructure and agricultural productivity across the county”.

The shipment includes 24 tractors, 24 mini combine harvesters, and several other farming implements such as plows, planters, mobile dryers, boom sprayers, front-end loaders, and skid steers, among others.

Minister Piah said,” The arrival of the equipment reflects the government’s commitment to mechanizing agriculture, increasing food production, and providing greater support to farmers nationwide”.

Meanwhile, Deputy Information Minister for Press and Public Affairs, Daniel Sando, says the government will begin the development of earth-moving equipment across the country this July.

Minister Sando said Grand Bassa and Grand Gedeh Counties will be among the first beneficiaries of the yellow machines.

He noted that the work in Grand Bassa County is expected to begin as early as November this year.

According to him, the equipment will also support agricultural activities in addition to road maintenance.

He said the initiative reflects the government’s commitment to improving infrastructure nationwide.
