PRESS RELEASE

IT HAS COME TO THE ATTENTION OF GOVERNMENT THAT BUSINESS ENTERPRISES AND TRADERS HAVE SUDDENLY INCREASED THE PRICES OF ESSENTIAL COMMODITIES TO LEVELS THAT CAN ONLY BE DEEMED TO BE EXPLOITATIVE.

AT A TIME WHEN THE EBOLA OUTBREAK IS CAUSING SO MUCH TENSION, CONSIDERABLE DISTRESS AND ANXIETY TO THE GENERAL POPULACE, BUSINESS PEOPLE SHOULD DESIST FROM INFLICTING MORE HARDSHIP AND SUFFERING ON THE NATION.

BUSINESS ENTERPRISES AND TRADERS ARE ADVISED IN THEIR OWN INTEREST TO MAINTAIN THE PRICES THAT EXISTED BEFORE THE EBOLA CRISIS AND TO IMMEDIATELY STOP ANY SELFISH EXPLOITATION OF THE PEOPLE.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

STATE HOUSE 13TH AUGUST, 2014
