MONROVIA – A sweeping anti-corruption initiative under the Boakai administration has led to the suspension of Mr. Abdullah L. Kamara, Acting Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Liberia Telecommunication Authority (LTA), following revelations from an official audit report.
The General Auditing Commission (GAC), tasked with scrutinizing government institutions and financial practices, has released a report implicating Mr. Kamara in serious allegations of corruption and financial mismanagement.
The findings center around his previous tenure as Chief Executive Officer of TAMMA Corporation, during which time he is alleged to have engaged in questionable transactions involving public funds.
In response to the audit report, President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. announced Mr. Kamara’s immediate suspension without pay, pending the outcome of a comprehensive and independent investigation by the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC).
“This action underscores our government’s unwavering commitment to transparency and accountability,” President Boakai stated in the letter of suspension. “Public officials must be held to the highest standards of integrity.”
The President further directed Mr. Kamara to fully cooperate with the LACC and the Ministry of Justice. Kamara is expected to make himself available to investigators and provide all necessary documentation to support the ongoing probe.
Sources within the Executive Mansion emphasized that this move aligns with the administration’s broader mission to restore public trust in government institutions and root out systemic corruption. The LTA, a key regulator in Liberia’s growing telecommunications sector, has faced scrutiny in recent years over governance and regulatory issues.
While no formal charges have been filed, the nature of the allegations—particularly involving misappropriation of public funds—could carry significant legal consequences if substantiated.
The case is seen as an early test of the Boakai administration’s resolve to deliver on its anti-corruption promises. Civil society groups and transparency watchdogs have welcomed the action, urging the government to ensure that due process is followed and that the investigation remains free from political interference.
As the LACC begins its inquiry, eyes across the country remain on how swiftly and impartially justice will be served
