The Minister of Mines and Energy, Wilmot Paye, has called on County Officers set to take assignments soon, to be dutiful and commit themselves to serving their Country with diligence amid associated challenges.
Speaking during the start of a two-day orientation workshop to prepare the County Mine Officers, Mining Engineers, and Resident Geologists, Minister Paye stressed that to transform Liberia for the better, public servants including the newly hired County Office staff of the Ministry (MME) need to stand up to challenging circumstances they may encounter whilst discharging their duties.
The Mines and Energy Minister urged all staff of the Ministry to stand up to radically transform the mining and energy sectors. This way, those the Minister termed as “bad elements” will stand alone and be exposed.
The convening of the two-day orientation exercise and subsequent deployment of the Mines and Energy representatives in the various Counties brings to actualization, Minister Wilmot Paye’s plan to decentralize the Ministry.
This flagship program of the Senior Management Team of the Ministry of Mines and Energy is intended to make services of the Ministry available and accessible at the county level to ease the burden associated with long travels from distant locations to reach the Monrovia head-office by those interested in mining activities, as well as energy services.
Senior Staff of the Ministry including Deputy, Assistant Ministers, and Directors from the departments of Operations (Mines), Energy, and Administration are facilitating the orientation workshop which is focusing on policy and regulatory frameworks of both mining and energy sectors.
