Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf hasimposed a 60-day travel ban on all government’s officials.
The ban affects all ministers and heads of other government institutions, as well as their deputies and assistants.
The Presidency said officials can only be allowed to travel when it is “of utmost imperative”, and such approval can only be made personally by the president.
It says the decision was taken following a review of the economy by the Cabinet and the Economic Management Team set up by the president.
According to reports, Liberia is going through a serious economic crisis, which the government blames
on the Ebola epidemic and the fall in the mining sector.
Meanwhile, the Central Bank of Liberia has been tasked to look into the “alarming situation” to ensure it curbs the illicit flow of foreign currency.
