The Liberian Government must see reason to address the plight of its citizens,” words of David Daniels a residents of Monrovia speaking to our reporter noted. As today’s protest continue, our reporter who visited the city center observed that in some parts of the City, the exchange rate is gradually dropping from 115LD to 1US to 98LD to 1USD, a situation many Liberian business people who spoke to our reporter described as welcomed news. Earlier on Capitol Hill this morning, members of the PATEL in their hundreds trooped to the Capitol Building presented their petition to members of the National Legislature. Some ordinary Liberians who spoke to the GNN during a street survey interview urged the Liberian Government to address the economy policy of the Country which goes with the increment of the exchange rate between the United Dollars and the Liberian Dollars. I even want this strike action to go for if possible one week,” Another Liberian petty trader in a chat with our reporter noted.
