The Chief Executive Officer of the Grand-Ma Water Company in Jacob Town has expressed disappointment over what he described as a deliberate campaign to tarnish the reputation of his business following the circulation of a viral video on social media by an online platform.
The video alleges that the water factory is operating in an unsafe environment, including claims that the facility is located near a septic tank.
The footage has sparked public concern among residents about the safety and quality of the company’s products.A Cape reporter visited the production site to verify the claims, the facility was inspected and management was engaged in discussions.
During the interview, CEO Jesse Henneh strongly denied the allegations, describing the video as misleading and malicious.
Henneh alleged that prior to the release of the video, he received a message from a blogger and content creator demanding 50,000 Liberian dollars.
According to him, the individual threatened to publish damaging information about the company if the payment was not made.
He said he has since filed a formal complaint with the Liberia National Police for investigation and presented what he termed as evidence of the communication to reporters and the police.
The CEO is calling on customers and residents of Jacob Town to remain calm and avoid being misled while authorities investigate the matter.
