Liberia: Ongoing House Probe Finds Power Theft, Government’s Failure to Pay Bills Regularly Posing Serious Cash Flow Challenges for Electricity Service Providers


MONROVIA – The Liberia Electricity Corporation, under its all-Liberian management team, has been given high ratings since it took over at the end of July 2022. Representative Wongbe cited various reports indicating issues that border on the disruption in electricity supply and salary issue. Despite these challenges, the committee was briefed that LEC, as a service operator, has continued to operate and provide services to the public. As chairman of the board of LEC, Captan was called up by then President George Weah to serve as acting CEO of LEC following the departure of ESBI. However, it has spent US$2 million on repairing four plants and four generators that have boosted electricity supply.
