Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The Environmental Protection Agency of Liberia (EPA) has dismissed a report by \u2018The DayLight\u2019, an online publication that the EPA shelved the outcome of an investigative report it conducted at Bea Mountain Mining Corporation (BMMC), as a diabolical lie and disinformation.<\/p>\n

The DayLight in an April 19, 2023 report under the caption \u201cBea Mountain Polluted River in Cape Mount Again,\u201d alleged that EPA concealed findings of a chemical leak in Grand Cape Mount County.The EPA vehemently debunks the report not only as a bald-faced lie but as bad journalism intended to injure the reputation of the Agency.The report also seeks to mislead the public about EPA\u2019s openness to inform the public at all times about its workings.<\/p>\n

The EPA is stunned that an online publication that proud itself as a credible outlet will depart from truth-telling as a core standard of journalism to telling lies to satisfy its funders\u2019 criteria.<\/p>\n

The Agency encourages media houses and individuals seeking information on the workings of the EPA to check its website and or contact its Media and Corporate Communications office for information about the Agency.<\/p>\n

As the country\u2019s national Agency for the management and protection of the environment and natural resources, the Agency remains transparent and has nothing to hide.<\/p>\n
