Two stories making headlines in the news last week have claimed the attention of the
Daily Observer. Although both stories, from casual observation, may appear unrelated, yet there appears to be common threads linking both.
And those common threads are the state of the economy and measures being taken or proposed to be taken to deal with the worsening economic situation.
The first thread is linked to the surreptitious arrest and illegal deportation of the former president of the Indian Community Association of Liberia (ICAL) following what sources say was his expressed opposition to attempts by the management of the National Port Authority (NPA) to impose a mandatory Cargo Tracking Note charge of US$150.00 on each container imported into the country.
