Monrovia, Liberia – Amidst persistent challenges in waste management, the Monrovia City Corporation (MCC) and Paynesville City Corporation (PCC) have aggressively moved forward with a critical initiative to overhaul their integrated solid waste management system and infrastructure. This bold step aims to transform the sanitation landscape of both cities and create substantial economic opportunities for Liberians.

The corporations recently launched an Expression of Interest (EOI) for private sector partnerships, drawing significant attention from both international and local firms. Out of 14 companies that applied, including two Liberian entities, six were meticulously shortlisted. These shortlisted firms subsequently received a Request for Proposal (RFP) and submitted detailed proposals, triggering a comprehensive evaluation process.

A key phase of this evaluation involved public presentations by the prospective partners, where each defended their proposed solutions. The Monrovia Daily News Network (MDNN) commends the MCC and PCC for their unwavering commitment to transparency throughout this crucial process. The decision to allow public and press access to broadcast the entire presentation sets a vital precedent for public-private partnerships in Liberia. This level of openness is precisely what is needed when securing essential services that directly impact the well-being of residents.

The MDNN strongly urges the national government to emulate these robust and transparent procurement steps. Such a diligent approach is paramount for ensuring accountability and achieving optimal outcomes for the Liberian people.

For years, citizens and community leaders have consistently called upon the national government to seek external expertise and investment in waste management. This public demand has been echoed by prominent figures, including Senator Snow and former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who have vocally criticized the deteriorating sanitation conditions in both cities. Despite these calls and the clear need for intervention, Liberian companies have historically struggled to attract the necessary investment for comprehensive waste management solutions, and collaborations have often been met with resistance.

The MCC and PCC’s current initiative directly addresses these long-standing issues. It is widely understood that the national government currently lacks the substantial funds required to invest in critical infrastructure such as composting plants, material recovery facilities, or the proper closure of the Whein Town Landfill. This partnership is therefore not just an environmental imperative but a significant economic catalyst, projected to generate between 10,000 and 15,000 green jobs for Liberian citizens. Furthermore, it promises to deliver profound improvements in environmental quality and public health outcomes for residents.

It is crucial that this vital process remains unmarred by political interference. The focus must remain squarely on selecting the most qualified partners to ensure the best interests of Liberia are served. Time is of the essence; the health of our communities is at stake, with preventable diseases like malaria and other waste-related illnesses continuing to claim lives.

Let us unite and prioritize the welfare of all Liberians by allowing this transparent and professional process to select the most competent partners. It is time to put Liberia first.
