Deputy Commerce Minister for Small Business Administration Jemima Wolokollie says in order to create a level playing field in the business community, Liberian entrepreneurs must be the distributors and retailers of manufactured goods, whether produced in the country or imported from abroad. Wolokollie made the statement yesterday at a program marking the end of a two-day workshop on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), held at a resort in Monrovia. Wolokollie spoke of the need to implement laws that would benefit Liberians and non-Liberians doing their respective businesses. Due to these barriers, Wolokollie said business activities have over the years been hindered to the extent that the Liberianization policy has not been implemented. Nyema Wisner assured the country’s commitment to comply with its obligations regarding the implementation of the Technical Barriers to Trade.
