MONROVIA - There are reports that the announced Kuwaiti Oil Deal has supposedly ended up like the controversial Nigerian and Japanese Oil Agreements(deals) which were characterized by lack of proper accountability and transparency.

According to reports obtained from officialdom at the weekend, since the management of the Liberia Petroleum Refining Company (LPRC) announced the Kuwaiti oil deal more than two years ago, the Liberian people have not been fully updated about the status of this agreement, thus raising eyebrows over the deal.

The reports divulged that the management of the LPRC is under moral and social obligation to inform the Liberian people regularly on the status of the agreement because the company is there to serve the public. And more so, to ensure transparency and accountability.
