The House of Representatives has officially noted a communication from the Executive Mansion in response to its request for a temporary suspension of key components of the concession agreement with the Liberia Traffic Management (LTM). The Legislature had earlier called for a halt to the implementation of provisions concerning vehicle registrations, driversβ licenses, and license plate issuance, pending a full-scale investigation and review of the agreement.
In a letter dated August 7, 2025, addressed to Madam Mildred N. Sayon, Chief Clerk of the House, Acting Minister of State for Presidential Affairs Hadja Mamaka Bility acknowledged receipt of the Houseβs request and affirmed the Executiveβs commitment to transparency, due process, and institutional collaboration.
The letter emphasized that the matter has been noted with urgency and seriousness, and that appropriate steps are already underway in line with the Presidentβs directive. The Houseβs intervention follows growing public concern over the LTM agreement, particularly regarding service delivery, cost implications, and oversight mechanisms.
Lawmakers reiterated their constitutional duty to safeguard national interest and ensure that all concession arrangements reflect lawful conduct and ethical standards. With both branches of government aligned on the need for a thorough review, further engagements between relevant agencies and stakeholders are expected in the coming weeks. The outcome of this process will likely shape future public-private partnerships and reinforce Liberiaβs commitment to accountable governance.
