The Ministry of Transport has dismissed as false and misleading a social media claim alleging that the Liberia Traffic Management Incorporated (LTMI) attempted to forcefully remove vehicle license plates from the Ministry’s storage facility.
The allegation, which circulated on Facebook via Spoon Networks, suggested that LTMI had recently visited the Ministry’s headquarters to take control of stored license plates. However, in a press release issued on May 28, 2026, the Ministry categorically rejected the claim.
According to the Ministry, LTMI did not at any time visit its headquarters for discussions or actions relating to vehicle license plates.
“The Ministry categorically dismisses these claims as baseless and urges the public not to be misled by such misinformation,” the statement said.
The Ministry further emphasized that it remains committed to the LTMI concession agreement, noting that the arrangement continues to serve the needs of the Liberian public.
As part of ongoing efforts to strengthen the transport sector, the Ministry disclosed that it is undertaking internal restructuring aimed at enhancing coordination with LTMI in regulating motor vehicle activities across the country.
Officials also stressed the importance of transparency and accountability in the sector, cautioning media institutions and the public against the spread of unverified information that could create confusion or undermine public trust.
For accurate information regarding developments in the transport sector, the Ministry advised the public to rely on its Press and Public Affairs Division.
The statement was signed by the Ministry’s Director for Press and Public Affairs, Sharah Destiny Brown.
