The National Contracting Company’s efforts to suspend its 1,350 km transmission line project that would have allowed electricity power export from Cote D’Ivoire to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea ended on Wednesday, December 23 when Civil Law Court ‘A’ upheld the contract.
In his ruling, Judge Peter Gbeneweleh said that the request by the Global Group, one of the contracting companies, to halt the civil foundation works for breach of contract is denied and the resistance to the motion filed by NCC is sustained. “NCC that is the respondent is hereby ordered to proceed with the construction of the project pending the hearing and determination of Global Group, the plaintiff’s preliminary injunction.”
