The Monrovia City Corporation (MCC) has commenced a month-long public education and awareness campaign to be rolled out across communities in Monrovia.
On May 18, 2026, the new Administrative Regulations were unveiled at an elaborate press conference where the mayor informed the press that the regulations are designed to restore urban order, significantly improve sanitation, safeguard public health, and strengthen environmental sustainability across Monrovia, particularly by addressing long-standing challenges with waste disposal and urban management.
Speaking at the official program marking the commencement of the Public awareness campaign, the City Manager of the Monrovia City Corporation, Jones N. Williams, welcomed the delegates on behalf of Mayor John-Charuk Siafa.
He underscored that the implementation of the new regulations will go a long way in shaping the future of Monrovia.
Also speaking, the Director of the Community Services Department, Maakai J. Moore-Juwle, informed community leaders that staff from the MCC will be visiting various communities to explain the new policies before enforcement begins.
She said the city has been divided into 13 zones, and over the next four weeks the different provisions in the new regulations will be explained and concerns of the residents will be directly addressed.
Juwle highlighted a couple of sections contained in the regulations, including section on solid waste management, littering, mandatory waste management subscription; regulations on vacant lot abandoned properties; and regulations on noise pollution control, among others.
For his part, the Director General for Economic Policy Management, Caine Prince Andrews, informed the gathering that previous ordinances were either ambiguous or extremely complex, which he noted posed serious hindrance to the operation of the municipal government.
He said the new ordinances address a host of urban governance issues with clarity, and it would require a shared approach between the city government and the residents to yield the needed results.
DG Andrews lauded the community leaders whose presence he said demonstrates their willingness to partner with the Monrovia City Corporation.
“These regulations cannot work without you,” he asserted.
The MCC officials at the high table also responded to concerns and inquiries from the community leaders during the question-and-answer session.
