The suspended Acting Chairman of the Liberia Telecommunications Authority, Abdullah Kamara has broken his silence regarding his recent suspension, expressing his commitment to accountability while calling on President Joseph Boakai to expedite investigations stemming from the General Auditing Commission (GAC) report.
In a letter addressing President Boakai, Kamara acknowledged the suspension recognizing it as a reflection of the president’s dedication to transparency—values for which he is widely respected.
“Your decision demonstrates your commitment to accountability,” Kamara wrote, expressing his support for the action taken against him.
He went on to highlight the gravity of the allegations detailed in the GAC report, which he claims threaten his hard-earned reputation and that of his family.
“I am humbled because your decision now allows me to focus fully on the task of legally addressing the allegations against me, which I am taking very seriously,” he stated.
In accordance with the president’s directive to cooperate with the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC), Kamara revealed that he has already engaged with the LACC over the past several months, providing statements and undergoing interviews regarding the allegations outlined in the GAC report.
He emphasized his readiness to cooperate fully, appealing for a swift conclusion to the investigation to avoid protracted delays that could further tarnish his reputation.
Moreover, Kamara used the opportunity to bring to the president’s attention urgent matters that require immediate strategic focus with respect to the agency’s operation
He highlighted the ongoing LTA Reform and the Digital Transformation Project as critical initiatives that demand sustained attention from leadership.
The LTA Reform is designed to stabilize and clarify the organization’s governance and operational structures, aiming to make it adaptable to changing technological and regulatory landscapes.
It also addresses pressing issues such as employment opportunities for youth, staff realignment, pay disparities, and establishing a more equitable remuneration structure.
In addition, Kamara pointed to the Liberia Digital Transformation Project, which seeks to transition Liberia into the digital era. Launched successfully last year, the project focuses on training 10,000 youths and providing seed funding for tech entrepreneurs, with the next two years aimed at broader themes requiring collaboration with other government entities and national programs.
