MONROVIA, June 11, 2026 — Grand Gedeh County Senator Thomas Yaya Nimely said Tuesday that the opposition would seek to unseat President Joseph N. Boakai in the 2029 elections over the government’s support for the implementation of an agreement involving Liberia Traffic Management Incorporated (LMTI) that he described as unconsummated and against the public interest.

Nimely, who chairs the Senate Committee on Labor, made the remarks in an interview with journalists after walking out of a hearing on LMTI at the Liberian Senate on Capitol Hill. He said the Executive Branch and officials associated with the agreement were acting contrary to the interests of Liberians.

According to Nimely, the Senate has for the past six months advised the Inter-Ministerial Concession Committee and officials in the Executive Branch that the contract should be reviewed because senators determined it was not in the interest of the government and the public.

He questioned why LMTI was already collecting revenue from license plates, vehicle inspections and other services if, in his view, the agreement had not been fully concluded.

He also criticized the contract’s reported revenue-sharing terms, saying they favor the company over the government, and raised concerns about the durability of the license plates being issued.

Nimely further argued that sensitive security data should not be handled in a way that compromises national interests and said the implementation structure should have given the Ministry of Transport a larger operational role.

Nimely said the government should have reviewed the agreement more thoroughly before allowing implementation and argued that awarding the contract to a foreign company undermines Liberia’s local participation policy.

The government has not yet publicly responded in this article to the senator’s remarks or his allegations regarding the LMTI agreement.
