Tenwah said if the three requests do not get the attention of the Liberian government, his organization will plan a massive protest next week that will include shutting down gas stations. PATEL’s constituency includes the Liberian Business Association, Car Dealers Association, and the National Petty Traders Association. Tenwah told journalists that the decision to end the three-day strike stemmed from PATEL fulfilling its original protest, and also to give the Liberian government time to live up to their demands. Tenwah said: “We are ending the strike action to give the Liberian government the chance to find lasting solutions, but we must state that we will resume the strike action to also involve gas stations if there are no fruitful results from the assurances we have received. He said the association’s decision to end the protest came about willingly, not based on intimidation or threat from anyone or group.
