Yellow Machines Workforce: Liberia’s Yellow Machine Program is moving from equipment acquisition to training, launching recruitment and practical testing for heavy-duty operators and mechanics in Bong County—aimed at preventing idle, poorly maintained assets. Judiciary Watch: Liberia’s Supreme Court is set to rule on the Capitol Building arson case jury dispute and other major criminal matters this week, including decisions affecting high-profile officials. Drug Fight Credibility: Calls for an independent probe into Liberia’s drug crisis are intensifying as Justice Minister Oswald Tweh argues investigations must continue alongside international partners. Agriculture Extension Logistics: The Ministry of Agriculture distributed 20 Hilux pickups and 36 motorbikes to county agriculture officers to improve farmer reach, monitoring, and extension services.
