Monrovia – President George M. Weah on Wednesday held his first major Cabinet Meeting for the new calendar year, focusing on several critical national Issues. He said although considerable progress has been made, there are “areas of concern” that need to be tackled. With regards to the national Prison Conditions, the Cabinet endorsed the recommendation for the erection of a new Prison Facility for the Monrovia Central Prison, which no longer has capacity to host more prisoners. He told the cabinet that credible information available to him is that most of these young people are being duped and living in appalling conditions. He has mandated the Ministries of Education, Labour, and justice to investigate the situation and devise mechanisms to curtail this worrisome situation.
