Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Nimba County Senator Samuel G. Kogar, District Number 3 Representative Nehker Gaye and District number 2 Representative Nyah Garsaye Flomo over the weekend led a high-level engagement with AFCONS Infrastructure Limited Workers in Sanniquellie City, Nimba County.<\/p>\n

The intervention followed recent protests against the company management, which led to the arrest and detention of several employees.<\/p>\n

Presided over by Senator Kogar, the hearing allowed aggrieved workers to outline key concerns: allegations of illegal dismissals, excessive Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) Tax Deductions and Unsafe Drinking Water linked to illnesses.<\/p>\n

Representative Nyah Garsaye Flomo of District Number 2<\/p>\n

In response, the lawmakers facilitated dialogue between the workers and company representatives, yielding several recommendations.<\/p>\n

They proposed sending formal communication to the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) to clarify tax deductions for contractors workers, alleged AFCONS deducted of US$15 per employee instead of the standard US$10.<\/p>\n

The leaders also called for independent testing of the workers\u2019 drinking water and urged the company to address wrongful dismissals by reinstating affected employees or providing due compensation, especially since many claimed they received no formal contracts.<\/p>\n

Representative Nehker E. Gaye of District number 3<\/p>\n

The Nimba leaders assured both sides of their commitment to fairness, transparency, and improved working conditions.<\/p>\n

The aggrieved workers extended thanks to the two representatives and senator for their leadership in resolving the issue.<\/p>\n
