Monrovia – FrontPageAfrica has uncovered that stalwarts of the ruling Unity Party allegedly pocketed US$45 million from Liberian taxpayers during the Ebola healthcare emergency from a controversial telecom deal in December 2011 to implement an International Gateway Management System (IGMS). The scheme taxed all incoming international calls $0.14 USD per minute and split that revenue between stakeholders. They were kicked out of Senegal and Haiti for business practices revealed as scams that distorted local telecommunications markets. The case was never taken up by the LAC even though the LTA stopped making annual revenue data publicly available in 2013. According to our source, Abdallah has been using funds from the questionable contract with Liberia Telecommunications Authority (LTA) to finance the political activities of Vice President Boakai.
