Former Bomi County Senator Sando Johnson has strongly commended the operations of Liberia Traffic Management Incorporated (LTMI), describing the institution as a key driver in the modernization of Liberia’s vehicle registration and driver’s licensing system.
Speaking at a press conference held in Monrovia on Monday, Johnson, who previously served as Chair of the Senate Committee on Concessions and Investment and was instrumental in the legislative approval of LTMI’s concession agreement, said the company is performing “exceptionally well” and operating within its legal mandate despite public criticism.
He praised LTMI for introducing modern systems and procedures that, according to him, have improved efficiency, accountability, and professionalism in the issuance of vehicle registration documents and driver’s licenses across the country.
Johnson noted that the reforms brought by the company have helped streamline services and strengthen the overall management of vehicle documentation in Liberia.
“At the time we approved this concession, the goal was to modernize the system, and from what I have seen, LTMI is doing very well in fulfilling that mandate,” he stated.
The former lawmaker also dismissed allegations circulating in sections of the public and on social media that the company is producing substandard wooden license plates. He described such claims as false and misleading, warning that they risk undermining the credibility of the institution’s work.
Johnson further urged Liberians to critically evaluate information shared on social media and other platforms, emphasizing that discussions surrounding LTMI should be grounded in verified facts rather than speculation or misinformation.
The remarks come amid ongoing public debate over the performance and accountability of service concessionaires in Liberia’s transport and licensing sector.
