Public Health at Risk, Diamond Mineral Water Under Scrutiny for Re-bottling Contaminated Water

An investigative conducted by a team of Liberian Journalists uncovered a disturbing public health threat involving a local mineral water company. The company, which produces "Diamond Mineral Water," is allegedly engaged in re-bottling contaminated water for sale in the market.

Evidence obtained during the investigation shows that the company’s local workforce has been assembling large quantities of water-filled sacks and bottle caps in an unhygienic environment. The process involves emptying, refilling, and sealing water bottles under questionable sanitary conditions.

When reporters visited the company’s premises for comment, a woman identified only as Hawa—believed to be a senior staff member—spoke off the record. She admitted to the practice and claimed that the company had received permission from government regulatory agencies, including the Ministry of Health and the National Public Health Institute of Liberia (NPHIL).

However, when pressed to provide documentation to support her claims, Hawa through a proxy made available documents purporting to be a Standard Laboratory test run to prove the Diamond Mineral Water's Status in September 2023.

Efforts to verify the company’s claims with the appropriate regulatory bodies are ongoing as the investigation continues.

STATEMENT AHEAD OF THE OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF LIBERIA’S BID FOR A NON-PERMANENT SEAT ON THE UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL FOR THE 2026-2027 SITTING

(September 19, 2024) The Office of the Former President of the Republic of Liberia (2018-2024), His Excellency George Manneh Weah, acknowledges receipt of a letter (RL/MFA/2-/S010021/’24) signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Honorable Sarah Beysolow-Nyanti. We appreciate the recognition by Minister Beysolow-Nyanti of the numerous contributions by Former President Weah towards the maintenance of peace and security and in laying the groundwork for Liberia’s bid for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

The former President has supported and always will support any endeavor that seeks to advance the interests of the Liberian people and elevate our nation’s standing within the global community. It is his strong conviction that Liberia’s aspiration for a seat on the United Nations Security Council is a testament to our historical commitment to peace, both at home and abroad. Our country has consistently played a vital role in peacekeeping efforts and has stood as an emblem of resilience in the face of adversity. Additionally, Liberia has played historical roles, as Africa’s first independent republic, in the fight for the independence of many sister African nations. As a founding member of the United Nations and its predecessor the League of Nations, Liberia played pivotal roles in ushering and consolidating world peace and establishing global order.

It was with these ideals in mind that he undertook several bilateral engagements, including seeking and securing endorsements from ECOWAS and the African Union for Liberia’s bid as a non-permanent member of the UNSC, so that Liberia’s voice would be valuable in multilateral dialogues concerning global peace and security.




Specifically, during the 63rd Ordinary Session of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of ECOWAS, held on July 9, 2023, in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, the Republic of Liberia was unanimously endorsed as the sole candidate representing the ECOWAS region for the non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council for the period 2026/2027. This endorsement was articulated in Numbers 46 and 47 of the Final Communiqué, which was signed by H.E. General Umaro Sissoco Embaló, President of Guinea-Bissau and then Chairman of the Authority of Heads of State of ECOWAS. This was a significant achievement, marking Liberia’s advancement as a trusted voice in international affairs once again. The African Union subsequently reinforced this endorsement, recognizing Liberia's role in promoting peace and stability.

However, while former President Weah fully recognizes the importance of Liberia pursuing and attaining this seat, we must also reflect on the deeper, quintessential ideals that underpin such an aspiration. When he first initiated the campaign for our nation’s bid, it was with the firm belief that we must not only project our historical contributions but also embody the very principles that define the Security Council’s mission—good governance, the rule of law, unification, and the protection of fundamental freedoms, including the right to free speech. These principles are not just aspirations; they are the bedrock upon which our credibility as a candidate must rest.

Regrettably, the current domestic landscape presents challenges that could undermine and derail the essence of our bid. For example, on Thursday, August 22, 2024, the Liberia National Police, without presenting any search warrant, raided the headquarters of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), firing live ammunition and surrounding the building with armed men and injuring many partisans. This unprovoked attack on our political party headquarters is an alarming sign of the administration’s disregard for political freedoms, the rule of law, and national unity. Such and many other actions which have been well catalogued, directly contradict the ideals of democracy and peace that form the foundation of the United Nations Charter and the very principles the Security Council must uphold.

Following this incident, former President Weah immediately communicated with Omar Alieu Turay, President of the ECOWAS Commission, urging ECOWAS to take proactive diplomatic steps to ensure that Liberia’s democracy is not jeopardized by the administration’s misuse of power. The use of state resources to stifle dissent and target political opponents poses a serious threat to Liberia’s democratic stability.


May we also note, that following our receipt of the letter from Minister Beyslow-Nyanti, the spokesman of the government at the Ministry of Information went on a juvenile, sophomoric rant while purportedly giving the administration’s position on the issue, in a vain attempt to denigrate former President Weah. Such disingenuous behavior, wherein one ministry of government writes a former President whilst another hurts disrespectful invectives at him points to an apparent schism in the ranks and a duality of policy in government that in themselves pose a risk to the bid.

Instead of fostering reconciliation and unification, the administration is fueling division and retribution. These actions are at odds with the values that the United Nations stands for: respect for human rights, the rule of law, and the peaceful resolution of conflicts.
In spite of the commitments made by the regional and continental bodies, ECOWAS and the AU, these are the potential threats which could erode confidence and unracel the bid.

The former President supports Liberia’s aspiration for a seat on the Security Council, he however emphasizes that our internal actions must reflect the values we seek to promote globally.

To credibly pursue this seat and put Liberia on its rightful place on the international pedestal at the UNSC, the government must restore its commitment to good governance, the protection of political freedoms, and the rule of law. Only by addressing these internal challenges, consolidating the diplomatic gains and re-engaging bilateral and multilateral partners, can we present ourselves as a viable candidate for the Security Council, one that truly embodies the ideals of peace and security, justice and rule of law under a vibrant democratic dispensation.

Perfunctory and superficial publicity stunts such as a photo-op at the UN headquarters on September 27, 2024 is not what is required, but firm and genuine actions of diplomacy and good governance.
