Liberian Senate Halts Controversial Traffic Management Deal Over Security Fears

The Liberian Senate has called for an immediate suspension of a new traffic management contract, citing unclear terms and potential threats to national security.

The contract would have outsourced key traffic management functions, including vehicle registration and licensing, to a private entity, Liberia Traffic Management (LTM). Lawmakers expressed concerns about the lack of transparency and possible constitutional violations. The Senate has requested President Joseph Boakai to intervene and halt the agreement until further review.

This move reflects growing unease over privatizing critical government functions in Liberia.
