MONROVIA — The Liberian Senate committee reviewing the controversial Liberia Traffic Management Incorporated concession says it will work with government institutions to fix any defects found in the 25-year contract, as lawmakers intensify scrutiny of the company’s operations and performance.
The assurance came from Bong County Senator Prince K. Moye, chairman of the Joint Committee on Ways, Means, Finance and Budget; Concessions and Investment; and Judiciary, following a daylong assessment of LTMI’s facilities.
The inspection comes amid growing public debate over the concession agreement between the government and LTMI, with concerns raised by lawmakers, government officials, commercial drivers, motorcyclists and ordinary citizens over several aspects of the company’s services, including the quality and durability of vehicle license plates.
Moye led the delegation, which included representatives from the Ministry of Transport and the National Bureau of Concessions. The team toured the facility and received presentations from LTMI officials on the company’s technological infrastructure, vehicle registration systems, driver licensing services, traffic monitoring operations and other transportation functions.
Speaking to reporters after the visit, Moye praised the company’s infrastructure and technological investment but said the committee remains focused on ensuring that concerns surrounding the agreement are adequately addressed.
“We came here to see things for ourselves and to independently assess the capacity of LTMI. What we have seen today demonstrates significant investment in technology and infrastructure,” Moye said.
He added that while the facility was impressive, the Senate remains committed to working with all relevant stakeholders to identify and address any shortcomings in the agreement.
Moye said the assessment gave lawmakers the firsthand information they need to make informed decisions as the review continues. He said the committee will evaluate all findings before submitting its recommendations to the full Senate.
The LTMI agreement, signed in September 2018 and ratified by the Legislature in December that year, grants the company a 25-year concession to finance, design, build, operate, maintain and eventually transfer an integrated vehicle and traffic management system for Liberia.
The concession has recently come under increased public and legislative scrutiny, prompting the Senate’s ongoing review of the agreement and LTMI’s performance.
