Taylor warns against harassment of investors

    ABIDJAN

    President Charles Taylor has warned public officials he will punish them or any other people if they are caught harassing investors, Star radio reported on Thursday.

    Taylor gave the warning on Wednesday when launching a project to build a 160-km road between Buchanan and Greenville that will be executed by a Liberian-Malaysian Company.

    Taylor said the firm had made an initial capital investment of nearly US $50 million. The company will also manage the port of Buchanan - the country’s second largest - in Grand Bassa County, engage in logging and process timber in Liberia.
