The Movement with Integrity for National Development (MIND) says it welcomes new reforms undertaken by Minister Cooper Kruah at the Ministry of Labor.
According to an April 16, 2024 release, the group thanked President Joseph Nyuma Boakai for appointing Minister Kruah to steer the affairs of the country’s labor sector, saying there couldn’t have been any better pick.
The group said Minister Kruah is implementing several new measures to improve the labor sector and bring rapid development to the lives of ordinary Liberians through employment opportunities.
MIND lauded initiatives to improve the ministry and the labor sector as a whole including the training of regional Labor officers to work on labor standards issues within the various counties as well as creating uniforms for labor inspectors to be identified in discharge of their duties.
According to the group, the minister is implementing new mechanisms aimed at ensuring the registration of aliens, something they believe will be a good revenue source for the Government of Liberia.
MIND has also hailed the minister over plans to ensure that foreigners don’t occupy jobs or positions dedicated to Liberians through the full enforcement of the Decent Work Act.
Meanwhile, the group further thanked Minister Kruah for intervening in recent labor disputes between some companies and Liberian citizens in their employ.
MIND wants the minister to remain steadfast in transforming the labor sector of the country.
