The Liberia Beaches and Waterway Workers early this morning clashed with Liberia National Police (LNP) in demand of their six(6) months salary allegedly owed by the government of Liberia through the Ministry of Finance head by Minister Samuel Tweh .

Speaking to our reporter on the scene, the group Spokesman Wilson McDoe Said they signed a memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the government to have their salary paid from the 30th of March to April 16, 2021.

He added that due to the government alleged failure to pay them their salary it got them angry to stage protest in Monrovia on Monday May24, 2021, before Finance Ministry to draw government attention to pay them.

But Wilson said while in their peaceful protest exercise was ongoing, the Liberia Support Unit (PSU) came and allegedly beat few of their member, arrested them and placed them in jail at the Liberia National Police Headquarters without reason.

Meanwhile, Mr. Wilson further narrated that they will not stop the protest until the government can settle their salary in the tune of over five hundred thousand United States dollars (500, 000) per 70usd for each person monthly.

At the same, the group Spokesman Wilson McDoe has called on President George M Weah Intervention to instruct Youths and Sports Minister D. Z. Wilson through Finance Ministry to pay their over due salary in order to avoid violance confrontation between the Beach and Waterway Workers.
