The Jetty Rubber Factory is an economic force for good by providing job opportunities for thousands of Liberians, an increment to Liberia’s revenue stream through payment of regular taxes and contributing economically to the communities and farmers within and around its areas of operations. Apart from the provision of employment for Liberians, the Jetty Rubber Factory is providing over US$40-50 million revenue annually to the Liberian Government”. The CSNL further commended Businessman Jetty for taking over the Salala Rubber Company (SRC), which was at the verge of rendering many Liberians jobless. Since taking over, Jetty has increased workers’ salaries and embarked on the renovations of the corporation’s three school campuses and clinic. The purchase of SRC, has given Jetty Rubber Company the immense space to achieve the goal of producing Made in Liberia rubber products, including latex gloves and tires in the short and long term. The group also hailed Jetty for his humanitarian gestures towards Liberia’s prison facilities around the country, including the South Beach Prison Compound. Jetty carried out technical works at the prison facility for the provision of running water. During the deadly COVID-19 period in Liberia, Jetty Corporation begun the distribution of hot-cooked meals to old folks and disadvantaged youths in central Monrovia.  On several occasions, Jetty is seen serving free food to old folks and disadvantaged youths called “zogos” throughout Monrovia and its suburbs. In conclusion, the Civil Society Network of Liberia called on businessman Jetty to keep contributing to Liberia’s Economy through its different investment portfolios. They recognized the impacts of Jetty’s humanitarian gestures, which has enabled many underprivileged and disadvantaged Liberians to get fed on a regular basis.
