MONROVIA – Liberia Traffic Management Incorporated (LTMI) is once again defending its concession in the court of public opinion. The company has flatly rejected reports that it withheld the Government of Liberia’s agreed share of revenue. It says the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) and the Liberia Road Fund (LRF) have confirmed receiving payments. Yet the release offers no figures, dates or documents to settle the matter for the public. Nor does it name who made the allegations it is answering. The dispute strikes at a public-private deal that now handles vehicle registration, inspection and license plates. Independent confirmation from the LRA and LRF would carry more weight than any corporate assurance can, as THE ANALYST reports.
Liberia Traffic Management Incorporated (LTMI) has categorically rejected reports in some quarters suggesting that the company has not provided the Government of Liberia its legally agreed share of the revenue it generates.
In a press release issued in Paynesville on October 24, 2026, LTMI Management said the reports are incorrect and do not reflect the company’s compliance with its financial and contractual obligations to the government.
The reports had claimed that the Government of Liberia had not received its share of revenue collected by LTMI, as stipulated under the contractual agreement between the government and the company.
LTMI countered that all Government of Liberia funds, including the National Road Fund, have been paid, and that the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) and the Liberia Road Fund (LRF) have confirmed receipt of the payment.
“LTMI wishes to assure the Liberian people that the company has not defaulted on its contractual responsibility to remit the Government of Liberia’s agreed share of revenue,” the release stated.
The company maintained that it has consistently fulfilled its revenue-sharing obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of its concession agreement and applicable laws.
Company Demands Verified Information
LTMI emphasized that it operates within an established legal and contractual framework and remains fully committed to transparency, accountability and compliance with its obligations to the government and people of Liberia.
The Management argued that public statements concerning the company’s financial obligations should be guided by verified information and accurate financial records.
Allegations of financial non-compliance, particularly those involving government revenue, are serious matters, the company noted, and require careful examination of the relevant financial documentation before conclusions are drawn.
LTMI declared that it remains prepared to cooperate with any lawful and legitimate review of its operations and financial obligations, consistent with the terms of its agreement and applicable Liberian laws.
The company said it firmly believes that transparency, institutional cooperation and respect for established contractual arrangements are essential to sustaining public confidence and protecting the integrity of public-private partnerships in Liberia.
It called for responsible public discourse, factual accuracy and constructive institutional engagement on matters relating to its operations and financial obligations.
More Than a Revenue Collector
LTMI further stressed that its operations are not solely intended to generate revenue. The company said it plays an important role in supporting Liberia’s traffic management system through vehicle registration, vehicle inspection, license plate services and other authorized traffic-related services aimed at promoting road safety, regulatory compliance and improved public service delivery.
The concessionaire said it remains committed to working collaboratively with the Government of Liberia and relevant public institutions to strengthen traffic administration, promote road safety and contribute to national development.
It reassured its stakeholders and the general public that it remains a responsible corporate partner, committed to fulfilling its contractual responsibilities, maintaining transparency and upholding the laws of the Republic of Liberia.
