TEMPLE OF JUSTICE – Former Liberia Telecommunications Authority Chairman and CEO of TAMMA Corporation, Abdullai Kamara, has been released from the Monrovia Central Prison after posting a criminal appearance bond of more than US$295,000.
His release follows a brief incarceration at the facility.
Kamara was arrested and remanded by the First Judicial Circuit, Criminal Court “C” in Montserrado County on a 64-count indictment for alleged economic crimes.
The indictment, brought by the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC), also names Fabian Laveland, TAMMA’s current CEO, as a co-defendant.
Both men face charges of Economic Sabotage, Fraud, Misuse of Public Funds, and Criminal Conspiracy—all classified as first-degree felonies.
The charges stem from the 2023 “National Transformation Initiative for Liberia,” a digital skills program prosecutors say was carried out without contracts, bidding, or oversight.
Although project organizers claimed to have trained more than 450 people, investigators allege no documentation exists to prove the activities or justify the disbursed funds.
Authorities further allege that payments totaling more than US$170,000 were made to Kamara and TAMMA under the guise of Corporate Social Responsibility, without the approval of the LTA Board.
