The President of the Republic of Liberia has today met at his Rehab Office with Wives of the Armed Forces of Liberia to hear their grievances.

These include retirement benefits, low salary, corruption, lack of adequate insurance, education, poor housing, lack of electricity, social services, and their general welfare. They stated these challenges have lingered on too long enough without redress as the military leadership have remained indifferent.

For his part, the Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces of Liberia, His Excellency Joseph Nyuma Boakai Sr. reassured the women that their grievances would be thoroughly investigated with a view to finding redress where possible. He would constitute a committee to probe into the matter and provide report in a week time.
