Executive Mansion, Monrovia - Following a meeting held with Rice Importers in Liberia, His Excellency Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., President of the Republic of Liberia, has disapproved any increment in the price of rice and that prices remain unchanged pending further and thorough review. 

Meanwhile, the Government of Liberia has advised strongly that there be no hoarding of this essential commodity and no cross-border transfer or transshipment from Liberia. 

The Ministries of Justice, Commerce and Industry and the Joint Security have been instructed to ensure that this directive is fully adhered to. 

All parties are encouraged to play their part at this critical juncture as the government strives to move ahead full-scale with the implementation of the ARREST Agenda for prosperity and national peace.
