Court Restores Former LTA Boss Kamara’s Rights -As Landmark Lower Court Ruling Abides by SC Verdict

MONROVIA – There seems to be a resolution of the economic crimes charges levied against the former Chairman of the Liberia Telecommunication Authority (LTA), Abdullai L. Kamara and other bigwigs of the LTA, as the Criminal Assizes “C” of Montserrado County has finally absolved Mr. Kamara and prayed the restitution of his civil liberties in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Liberia.

The restoration of the former LTA Chairman’s civil liberties comes against the backdrop of a Court Clearance issued September 4, 2025 absolving Mr. Kamara for the crimes of Economic Sabotage 15.50 (Fraud on Internal Revenue (Misuse of Public Money & Records 15.81 (Theft &/Illegal Disbursement and Expenditure of Public Money); Theft of Property; Misapplication of Entrusted Property; Criminal Facilitation; Criminal Solicitation; Criminal Conspiracy.

According to the Court’s Clearance, the charges against Abdullai L. Kamara “have been dropped on August 1, 2025 based on a Motion to Drop Misjoin Party, thereby discharging him from further answering to the said charges and subsequently restoring his Constitutional and Statutory Rights.”

The clearance noted: “In essense, Abdullai L. Kamara has no Criminal Action pending against him before the First Judicial, Criminal Court “C”, Montserrado County, Republic of Liberia.”

The Court’s clearance comes in the wake of an earlier suit filed by the Republic of Liberia, by and through the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) as Plaintiff versus Madam Edwin C. Zacka, former Chair, Liberia Telecommunication Authority, and Abdullah L. Kamara, CEO, Tamma Corporation of the City of Monrovia, Liberia.

At the time, the LACC started an unjustified investigation on suspended LTA chairman Abdullah Kamara citing the GAC report which never mentioned Abdullah Kamara anywhere in its findings. Interestingly, the LACC investigated Kamara and found no evidence of corruption, yet reported to the President that he must be indicted.

Based on the LACC recommendation to the Liberian leader, Mr. Kamara was suspended and turned over to the Justice Ministry and the LACC to be investigated further, but the LACC would surprisingly unilaterally indict and designate Kamara as a criminal.

However, the court would later determine that Kamara was not a subject to the case and therefore ruled that he be dropped from the proceedings. The LACC challenged the verdict and took an appeal to the Supreme Court, which the SC dismissed and upheld the decision of the lower court.

It is against this backdrop that the Criminal Court has finally cleared Mr. Kamara from the case and thereby restored all his rights as granted by the law.

It remains to be seen whether, following the court’s decision to free Mr. Kamara of all legal strictures, the government of Liberia will restore his rights to his former employment status.
