Mr. Fraenkel, who is on a month-long family visit to Liberia, made the disclosure on Thursday, March 5, 2020, during an interview with the Daily Observer in Paynesville, outside Monrovia.

Mr. Fraenkel said some of those who benefited from Bong Mining Company have opened their own workshops and continued to provide needy services to society. He said the Bong Mining Company also .established the agriculture program, a project that benefited Liberians but at a small scale. “I came to Liberia in 1963 and got employed with a steel company, Bong Range or Bong Mining Company. The company hired me at the time there were no activities ongoing. After a period of time, the process started and we had to commence a building of a railroad from the Free Port of Monrovia to Bong Mine in Lower Bong County,” Mr. Fraenkel said.
