Liberia to Host High-Level Investment and Economic Forum at EXPO 2025 in Osaka, Japan
Theme: “Bridging Opportunities for Sustainable Growth and Global Partnerships”

As part of its growing drive to attract foreign investment and forge new global partnerships, the Republic of Liberia will host the Tīvena Investment and Economic Forum during EXPO 2025 in Osaka, Japan. The event is scheduled for Wednesday, August 27, 2025, from 12:30 PM to 3:00 PM at the Festival Station, Expo Site, Yumeshima, Osaka.

Under the theme “Bridging Opportunities for Sustainable Growth and Global Partnerships,” the Forum will showcase Liberia’s expanding economic potential and strategic sectors to Japanese and international investors, opening new avenues for trade, investment, and innovation.

A Platform for Strategic Partnerships

Hosted by the Republic of Liberia Pavilion in collaboration with the Kinki Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry and Yao City, the Tīvena Forum aims to create a dynamic platform for business-to-business and government-to-business engagements between Liberia and its global partners — especially in Asia’s vibrant economic landscape.

The Forum will feature targeted discussions and presentations focused on key investment sectors, including:
• Trade and commerce
• Industrial development
• Infrastructure and energy
• Technology and digital innovation
• Sustainable agriculture and tourism

Spotlight on Liberia’s Economic Resurgence

As Liberia deepens its reform agenda and enhances transparency and ease of doing business, the government is positioning the country as a gateway for investment in West Africa. The forum will highlight ongoing infrastructure upgrades, strategic public-private partnerships, and untapped market opportunities, encouraging global firms to explore long-term ventures in the country.

“Liberia is open for business,” a spokesperson for the Republic of Liberia Pavilion said. “This forum will provide a unique chance for investors to discover the resilience, potential, and readiness of Liberia’s economy to partner with the world.”

Liberian government officials, private sector leaders, and global development experts are expected to present investment cases, policy incentives, and real-world success stories that reflect Liberia’s rising profile in regional and international markets.

Towards a Brighter Future for All

The Tīvena Investment and Economic Forum forms part of Liberia’s broader participation in EXPO 2025 — themed “Designing Future Society for Our Lives.” The country’s engagement signals its ambition to contribute to global development conversations while attracting strategic partnerships that drive inclusive, sustainable growth.

Interested stakeholders, potential investors, and participants are encouraged to visit the Liberia Pavilion at EXPO 2025 or contact forum organizers for additional details.

Liberian Senate Intervenes in Controversial Transport Concession Deal with LTMI
Calls for Halt, Demands Transparency and National Review

The Liberian Senate has officially stepped into the intensifying controversy surrounding the Ministry of Transport’s 25-year concession agreement with Liberia Traffic Management Inc. (LTMI), a foreign-owned private firm. In a decisive move, Senate leadership has announced plans to meet with President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, urging him to halt the implementation of the agreement pending a full-scale national review.

The Senate’s action comes amid growing public outcry and internal protests from Ministry of Transport employees, who claim the deal was struck without proper consultation and undermines both government authority and national interest.

Background and Rising Concerns

The agreement, reportedly signed earlier this year, gives LTMI exclusive rights over core functions traditionally managed by the Ministry of Transport — including vehicle registration, driver’s licensing, traffic law enforcement, toll collection, and vehicle inspections.

Critics argue the concession not only outsources essential public services but also threatens job security, data sovereignty, and national control of critical revenue streams. Workers within the Ministry say they were blindsided by the deal and warn that it could result in mass layoffs and long-term institutional weakening.

“The LTMI agreement was crafted in secrecy and imposed without input from unions, civil society, or the legislature,” said one protesting employee. “This is not how governance should function in a democratic society.”

Senate Raises the Red Flag

The issue was formally introduced during the Senate’s 41st sitting on Thursday, July 24, by Grand Cape Mount County Senator Dabah Varpilah, who decried what she called “glaring irregularities” and “questionable motives” behind the contract.

“We must ensure that any agreement signed in the name of the Liberian people upholds transparency, protects jobs, and aligns with our long-term national interest,” Varpilah asserted. “This LTMI deal does not appear to do that.”

In response, Senate President Pro Tempore Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence announced that the Senate will engage directly with the Executive to push for a suspension of the agreement.

“The Senate, through its oversight responsibility, will meet with the President to seek clarity on what exactly was signed, and what the implications are,” she stated.
“Any agreement affecting national revenue, data protection, and job security must be carefully vetted and inclusive of the views of the Liberian people.”

Protests Intensify Nationwide

Over the last two weeks, workers at the Ministry of Transport have taken to the streets in protest. From Monrovia to regional offices, sit-ins and demonstrations have become a daily sight. Protesters are calling for the outright cancellation of the LTMI agreement and a full investigation into how it was approved.

“We are not against innovation or public-private partnerships,” said one union representative. “But this deal was done behind closed doors, and we — the people who run the transport system — were never consulted.”

Concerns have also been raised about the qualifications and capacity of LTMI to handle the extensive and sensitive responsibilities being handed over.

What’s Next?

With tensions mounting, the spotlight now turns to President Joseph Boakai, whose administration signed the agreement. Will he heed the Senate’s call and pause implementation to allow for public discourse and legislative scrutiny?

Sources within the Capitol suggest that the Senate may not stop at the LTMI deal. Lawmakers are reportedly considering a broad legislative audit of all major concession agreements signed by the current administration since it assumed office in January 2024 — a move that could reshape the governance of public-private partnerships in Liberia.

As the nation awaits the outcome of the Senate-Executive meeting, the people — especially the public servants whose livelihoods are at stake — continue to demand leadership that puts national interest first.

Neglect and Decay: J. Dominic Beng City Hall Crumbles Under Local Government's Watch

Once hailed as a cultural hub and a cornerstone of community development in Sinoe County, the J. Dominic Beng City Hall now lies in utter ruin—abandoned, overgrown with weeds, and serving as a shelter for goats. Established in the early 1990s, this historic building was a beacon of civic engagement, youth talent showcases, and social gatherings. Today, it stands as a painful symbol of neglect and government inaction.

Local residents are voicing their deep frustration and heartbreak over the hall’s dilapidated condition. Describing it as a "disposable condition," citizens lament the broken walls, filthy grounds, and years of decay under the watch of the current city leadership. Many community members have taken to calling it a “goat camp,” pointing to the disturbing sight of livestock roaming freely where once children performed dramas and youths debated policy.

“This was the place where children discovered their talents,” an elder remarked. “We used to come here for programs, debates, and training. Now, it’s only fit for goats.”

The upper level of the structure has been completely overtaken by tall grass, with no visible effort from the office of City Mayor Harrison Kai to clear or maintain the premises. The deafening silence from local authorities has sparked outrage among community members who say they feel abandoned by those they elected to serve.

Civic leaders, youth activists, and concerned residents are calling for urgent intervention. Their message is clear: the J. Dominic Beng City Hall is not just a building—it is a vital piece of the county’s cultural identity and public infrastructure. Letting it rot sends a troubling message about the local government's commitment to its people and their future.

The inaction has also prompted critics to question how such an important facility could be allowed to collapse under the supervision of a functioning municipal government. Many are demanding accountability, transparency, and a concrete timeline for the hall’s renovation.

Fresh Online TV joins the voices of Sinoe citizens in urging Mayor Harrison Kai and county officials to take immediate steps to restore the J. Dominic Beng City Hall. The community deserves better. The youth deserve a space to grow. And Sinoe County deserves to preserve its heritage.

The time to act is now—before this landmark fades into a forgotten relic of better days.

Representative Yekeh Kolubah Launches Bold Political Campaign to "Liberate Liberia from Criminals and Crooks"

Montserrado County District #10 Representative, Hon. Yekeh Kolubah, has officially launched a bold and highly visible political campaign under the slogan: “National Movement to Liberate Liberia from Criminals and Crooks.”

In a striking show of political force, the lawmaker rolled out a fleet of newly acquired vehicles, each decorated with powerful campaign messages that reflect his firm stance against corruption, bad governance, and political dishonesty. The vehicles, wrapped in patriotic colors and bold slogans, caught the attention of residents and commuters alike as they paraded through major streets of Monrovia.

Representative Kolubah, known for his uncompromising and outspoken nature, has been a vocal critic of systemic corruption in Liberia. With this campaign, he seeks to mobilize citizens across Montserrado County and the nation at large in what he calls a “revolution of truth, transparency, and accountability.”

“Our people are tired of lies, empty promises, and recycled leadership,” Kolubah declared at the launch event. “This movement is not about me; it is about every Liberian who wants real change, justice, and a future free from thieves and tricksters who only enrich themselves at the expense of the nation.”

The campaign is expected to spark national conversations, especially as Liberia prepares for another cycle of democratic decision-making. Kolubah’s message seems to resonate deeply with youth and marginalized communities, many of whom feel left out of the benefits of national development.

Political analysts say the move signals Representative Kolubah’s intention to position himself as a leading figure in Liberia’s reform-driven opposition landscape. Whether this movement will evolve into a formal political party or a nationwide civic initiative remains to be seen.

Dr. Catherine T. Cooper Embarks on Nationwide Health Assessment Tour to Boost Liberia’s Healthcare System

In a bold and proactive move to strengthen healthcare service delivery across Liberia, Dr. Catherine T. Cooper, the Chief Medical Officer of Liberia, has launched a nationwide tour of all fifteen counties. The tour, which began on July 7, 2025, is being conducted alongside a high-level delegation comprising Assistant Ministers and Technical Assistants from the Ministry of Health.

This sweeping county tour represents a cornerstone of the Ministry’s strategic efforts to improve the nation's health outcomes by engaging directly with local health teams, frontline health workers, and community leaders. It is part of a broader initiative aimed at fostering accountability, transparency, and equitable service delivery throughout Liberia’s health system—especially at the grassroots level.

According to Dr. Cooper, the main objective of this field engagement is to evaluate and enhance the performance of health services in real time. Particular attention is being placed on assessing the supply chain system that ensures the delivery of medical commodities to remote health facilities. “We are here to listen, observe, and respond,” Dr. Cooper noted during a visit to a clinic in Lofa County. “It is critical that we close gaps and build a health system that reaches every Liberian, no matter how far they live from Monrovia.”

During the ongoing tour, the Ministry is examining several critical aspects of health system operations. These include:

Procurement & Distribution Processes: Understanding how medical supplies are sourced, stored, and delivered to various facilities.

Inventory Tracking: Reviewing stock management systems to identify delays, data gaps, or weaknesses in supply chain visibility.

Storage Conditions: Assessing the safety and adequacy of warehouses and drug storage rooms across counties.

Stockouts: Investigating the frequency and causes of essential medicine shortages and working to prevent future occurrences.

Dr. Cooper’s tour is not only administrative but also deeply consultative. In each county, the team is holding interactive dialogues with County Health Officers, hospital administrators, nurses, and community health volunteers. These sessions provide a vital platform for sharing field experiences, challenges, and practical solutions to persistent bottlenecks in healthcare delivery.

The Ministry’s commitment to inclusive and sustainable health development is gaining renewed momentum through this initiative. By ensuring that rural and underserved communities are equally prioritized, Dr. Cooper is reinforcing the government’s pledge to deliver quality healthcare for all.

As the tour progresses, Liberians across the nation are expressing hope that the findings and recommendations from this exercise will translate into tangible improvements—from better drug availability and timely diagnostics to more responsive patient care.

President Joseph N. Boakai Receives New Police Station, Market, and Infrastructure in Lofa County from Deputy Speaker Thomas Fallah
Development Projects Dedicated to Strengthen Security, Commerce, and Public Service in Beyan Town

In a vibrant ceremony that reflected national unity and development in action, His Excellency Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., President of the Republic of Liberia, officially received a package of newly completed public infrastructure projects in Beyan Town, Lofa County, from Honorable Thomas P. Fallah, Deputy Speaker of the 55th Legislature.

The projects include a modern police station, a rest and relaxation stop for travelers, a newly constructed market space, and several motorcycles for local policing and mobility — all aimed at improving security, economic activity, and public service delivery in the region.

A Gift of Service and Development

In his remarks during the handover, Deputy Speaker Fallah emphasized that the initiative was part of his personal and legislative commitment to supporting national development and responding to the needs of the people — especially in rural communities like Beyan Town.

“These projects are my way of giving back and helping to build a stronger, safer, and more vibrant Lofa County,” Hon. Fallah stated. “Today, we are not just handing over infrastructure — we are planting the seeds of progress.”

The lawmaker said the projects were fully funded through personal and collaborative efforts, and they complement the broader national agenda of decentralization and equitable service delivery.

President Boakai Applauds Grassroots Impact

Receiving the symbolic keys and officially dedicating the facilities, President Boakai thanked Hon. Fallah for his leadership and vision, describing the gesture as “an example of what public service should look like.”

“This is what Liberia needs — action-oriented leadership that delivers real results for the people,” President Boakai declared. “From the police station to the market and motorcycles, every component of this project contributes to peace, livelihood, and dignity.”

The President emphasized his administration’s commitment to supporting local leaders and community-driven development, particularly in underserved and remote regions.

Strategic Investments for a Growing County

The newly dedicated police station will help reinforce law enforcement and public safety in the surrounding communities, while the rest and relaxation stop provides comfort and safety for travelers and commercial drivers along the growing transport corridor.

Meanwhile, the market space opens new economic opportunities for women and local traders, creating an accessible and organized environment for daily commerce.

Motorcycles turned over to the Liberia National Police will increase mobility for rural officers, enabling quicker response times to security incidents and emergencies in hard-to-reach areas.

Community Voices Welcome the Transformation

Local residents, chiefs, women’s groups, and youth representatives gathered in large numbers to witness the occasion, expressing appreciation for what many called “a transformational day for Beyan Town.”

“This is the first time we’re seeing this kind of development at our doorstep,” said a market woman. “Now we have a place to sell, and we feel safer knowing the police are nearby.”

A Model for National Progress

The ceremony ended with cultural performances and a joint tour of the facilities by President Boakai, Hon. Fallah, local leaders, and visiting officials.

As Liberia continues on its path of national renewal, the Beyan Town dedication stands as a shining example of collaborative development between the Executive and Legislative branches — and a reminder that when leaders work for the people, real change is possible.

LNP Engages Muslim Community Amid Social Media Uproar Over Viral Video

In a proactive move to address rising concerns over a video circulating on social media, the Liberia National Police (LNP), under the leadership of Inspector General Gregory O. W. Coleman, hosted a crucial dialogue with leaders of the Muslim community and officials from the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC).

The meeting, held at the LNP Headquarters in the Inspector General’s conference room, was convened in response to a protest staged by members of the Muslim community. The protest emerged following the circulation of a video that many feared may have contained religiously insensitive content or portrayed misconduct.

In his opening remarks, Inspector General Coleman emphasized the LNP's unwavering commitment to transparency, accountability, and community engagement. He made it clear that the incident depicted in the video is not religious in nature, a clarification aimed at de-escalating tensions and promoting peace.

“We are conducting a full and impartial investigation through our Professional Standards Division,” IG Coleman stated. “The review of the original footage is already underway, and we want to reassure the public that every step taken will be in line with the values of fairness, dignity, and professionalism.”

Representatives from the Muslim community expressed their concerns and called for mutual respect and responsible conduct, especially by public institutions. LEC officials also shared perspectives related to the context of the incident, reiterating their commitment to peaceful community relations.

The dialogue concluded with a shared understanding that open communication, cultural respect, and lawful processes are essential to maintaining peace and fostering national unity.

The Liberia National Police continues to urge the public to refrain from spreading unverified information that could incite tension, and instead support constructive engagement and lawful channels.

Diplomat Thanks Liberia for Strengthening Bilateral Ties

During the meeting held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Monrovia, Ambassador Toner commended Minister Nyanti for her strong commitment to fostering bilateral cooperation, reinforcing democratic values, and championing mutual development goals between the two nations.

Strengthening U.S.-Liberia Relations

A Legacy of Cooperation

Foreign Minister Nyanti acknowledged these efforts and reaffirmed Liberia’s commitment to working with the United States to build on the achievements made and pursue new areas of cooperation.

“Your tenure will be remembered for its focus on building bridges, not just between governments, but also between our people,” Minister Nyanti remarked. “Liberia is grateful for your friendship and the lasting impact of your work here.”

Parting with Gratitude and Hope

As Ambassador Toner prepares to depart Liberia, his farewell courtesy call served as a moment of mutual appreciation and optimism for the future of U.S.-Liberia relations. Both officials expressed confidence that the strong foundation laid will continue to flourish under future leadership.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs presented a symbolic gift of appreciation to the outgoing ambassador, wishing him success in his next diplomatic assignment.
