The House of Representatives has formally acknowledged a response from the Executive Mansion regarding its request for the temporary suspension of key components of the concession agreement with Liberia Traffic Management (LTM).
This development follows the House’s earlier resolution calling for an immediate halt to the implementation of provisions relating to vehicle registrations, driver’s licenses, and the issuance of license plates. Lawmakers said the pause is necessary to allow for a full-scale investigation and comprehensive review of the agreement.
In a letter dated August 7, 2025, addressed to Chief Clerk Madam Mildred N. Sayon, Acting Minister of State for Presidential Affairs Hadja Mamaka Bility confirmed the Executive’s receipt of the House’s communication. The letter assured the Legislature of the Executive’s commitment to transparency, due process, and collaborative governance.
“The matter has been noted with urgency and seriousness,” the letter stated, adding that the appropriate steps are already underway in line with directives from President Joseph Boakai.
The House’s move comes amid rising public concerns over the LTM agreement, particularly regarding the quality of service delivery, financial implications for citizens, and the overall regulatory oversight of the concession.
Lawmakers reiterated their constitutional responsibility to protect the national interest and ensure that all concession agreements adhere to legal and ethical standards.
With both branches of government expressing alignment on the need for a thorough review, further engagements involving key agencies and stakeholders are expected in the coming weeks.
Observers say the outcome of this process could significantly influence the future of public-private partnerships in Liberia and signal a renewed national commitment to transparency and accountability in governance.
