By Amos HarrisThe Ministry of Transport is currently grappling with one of its most significant internal crises in recent years. At the center of the turmoil is a controversial decision to transfer vehicle registration and licensing responsibilities to a private entity, Liberia Traffic Management (LTM). While government officials describe the move as an administrative reform designed to boost efficiency, it has instead triggered widespread labor unrest, public confusion, and deep concerns regarding institutional transparency and the control of public revenue. Critics of the transfer argue that granting LTM operational control risks blurring institutional lines and weakening established accountability systems. Until a clear explanation is provided that addresses revenue oversight and employee protections, the crisis at the Ministry of Transport is unlikely to subside.
