LDEA Nimba County Detachment Arrests Mechanic and Motorcyclist for Tramadol Concealed in a Car Tyre

Monrovia, Liberia -November 20,2025
The Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) Nimba County Detachment has arrested two suspects, Jeremiah Yarkpawolo, 29, a mechanic, and Morris Kromah, 23, a motorcyclist, both Liberians and residents of Gbarnga, B**g County.

The arrests occurred on November 19, at approximately 8:15 AM after officers discovered 47 packs (470 strips) of Tramadol concealed inside a used car tyre. The suspects were intercepted while transporting the substance from Guinea into Liberia through the Tonwin Sub-Port in Ganta.

The seized narcotics have an estimated street value of LRD 940,000 (approximately USD 5,222).

Both Yarkpawolo and Kromah are undergoing full investigation and will be forwarded to court in accordance with the amended drug law of Liberia.

The LDEA urges the public to continue assisting in the fight against drug trafficking by reporting any suspicious activities through its hotlines:

Ministry of Public Works Reverses Course, Gives Greenlights CMC-Funded Jor River Bridge With Major Cost Cut

Monrovia, Liberia – In a notable policy turnaround, the Ministry of Public Works (MPW) has approved the construction of the Jor River Bridge in Civil Compound Community, B**g County—slashing the project’s projected cost from US$1.3 million to just US$518,876.36.

The decision, revealed in an October 19, 2025 communication to B**g County District #3 Representative J. Marvin Cole, follows pressure from lawmakers during a recent House session demanding clarity on stalled or disputed infrastructure projects.

MPW said it “grants its approval for the construction of the Jor River Bridge at Chief’s Compound,” adding that it “welcomes the partnership” with the Citizens Movement for Change (CMC), the group financing the initiative.

Alongside the approval, the Ministry submitted full design plans for two key bridges along the Jor River. The now-cleared Civil Compound bridge will span 98 feet, while a second, much larger structure—200 feet long—has been proposed for David’s Town at an estimated cost of US$1.33 million.

The striking reduction in cost for the Civil Compound bridge and MPW’s abrupt change in stance have drawn public attention, especially in B**g County where residents have long complained about failing roads and dangerous river crossings that hinder travel and commerce.

With the Ministry’s authorization now secured, the CMC-backed project is expected to move forward, a development local leaders say will significantly improve rural access and stimulate economic activity across the region.

LIBERIA'S HIV/AIDS CASES GROW; AS 36,000 NOW LIVING WITH THE VIRUS

Monrovia- November 20, 2025: Liberia's HIV/AIDS cases have taken a concerning turn, with the National AIDS Commission reporting an estimated 36,000 Liberians currently living with the virus. This marks an increase from the 34,000 cases recorded in the previous year.

According to Dr. Cecelia Nuta, Chairperson of the National AIDS Commission, this trend has sparked alarm, emphasizing the need for targeted prevention efforts and stronger community outreach programs. She further stated that women continue to bear the brunt of the epidemic, accounting for the majority of infections.

As Liberia prepares to observe World AIDS Day on December 1, Dr. Nuta stressed the importance of maintaining essential HIV services. She highlighted the critical role of domestic funding in supporting these efforts, urging Liberians to prioritize the fight against HIV/AIDS.

The National AIDS Commission is calling for increased community engagement and awareness to prevent further infections. With sustained national support, the commission believes it is possible to curb the spread of the virus and protect vulnerable populations.

The growing number of HIV/AIDS cases in Liberia serves as a stark reminder of the need for collective action. The National AIDS Commission's message is clear: the fight against HIV/AIDS requires a united effort, with a focus on prevention, support, and care for those affected.

The commission's efforts to combat the epidemic include strengthening community outreach and awareness programs, providing essential HIV services, promoting targeted prevention efforts, and mobilizing domestic funding to support the fight against HIV/AIDS.

CDC WOMEN’S LEAGUE MONTSERRADO COUNTY CONDEMNS DEPUTY MINISTER FATIMA BINTU SIRLEAF’S REPORTED INSULTS TOWARD CRITICS

The Women’s League of the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC), Montserrado County Chapter, is calling out what it describes as disrespectful and troubling remarks reportedly made by the newly confirmed Deputy Minister for Urban Affairs, Madam Fatima Bintu Sirleaf, toward citizens who questioned her confirmation by the Liberian Senate.

According to the CDC Women’s League, public officials—especially those just stepping into national leadership—have a responsibility to carry themselves with humility and respect, even when responding to criticism. The group says the comments attributed to Deputy Minister Sirleaf show a lack of regard for ordinary Liberians and the democratic right of citizens to express their views about national leaders.

“As leaders, we must always remember that we are servants of the people,” said the Chairlady of the CDC Women’s League, Montserrado County. “Insulting citizens because they questioned your qualifications or performance is not the behavior the public expects from someone in high office.”

The Women’s League noted that criticism is a natural part of leadership, and responding to it with harsh words only widens the gap between government officials and the people they are meant to serve.

The CDC Women’s League is therefore:
Condemning the reported insults made by Deputy Minister Sirleaf:

Calling on the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Government of Liberia to remind appointed officials of the importance of professionalism and respect; Encouraging Deputy Minister Sirleaf to address the concerns raised and show leadership by engaging citizens respectfully; and Urging all public officials to uphold high standards of public conduct, especially in their communication with the Liberian people.

“We are women, mothers, and community leaders. We believe in respect, discipline, and service,” the Chairlady added. “No official should use their platform to talk down to the same people they rely on for support and cooperation.”

The CDC Women’s League reaffirms its commitment to promoting responsible leadership, protecting the voice of the people, and standing against any behavior that undermines public trust.

National Road Fund Hits Historic US$31M as Liberia Hosts ARMFA Gathering.

Liberia has unveiled its largest-ever National Road Fund (NRF) revenue, announcing a record US$31 million during the opening of the 22nd General Assembly of the African Road Maintenance Funds Association (ARMFA) in Monrovia.

NRF Manager Joseta Neufville Wento told regional delegates that the 2024 revenue figure is the highest since the fund’s establishment, signaling renewed national commitment to road modernization, accountability, and sustainable financing. She said Liberia was proud to host this year’s gathering, which is centered on innovative funding methods and long-term resilience of Africa’s road networks amid climate and transportation pressures.

Wento described road infrastructure as the backbone of national development and regional cohesion. She noted that under President Joseph Boakai, Liberia has embarked on an ambitious plan to rehabilitate more than 1,000 kilometers of primary and secondary roads, while enhancing transport corridors linking the country to Freetown, Abidjan, and Conakry in an effort to stimulate trade and integration.

She highlighted strong revenue performance in recent years, noting that the NRF collected US$14 million in the first half of 2023, eventually climbing to the record-breaking US$31 million under its strengthened governance system in 2024.

Delegates were also introduced to the NRF’s newly launched public transparency dashboard, which provides real-time information on road projects, expenditures, and locations. According to Wento, the digital platform is part of broader reforms aimed at ensuring improved oversight and data-driven planning.

She further disclosed new financing mechanisms developed with the Ministry of Transport, including an axle-load control pilot that generated US$70,000 in four months, as well as new rules directing all NRF revenue into a designated escrow account.

The assembly additionally reviewed findings from a landmark continental study on African road funds, conducted by ARMFA in collaboration with SSATP and supported by the European Union. The assessment spans 15 African nations plus Morocco and Tunisia and is expected to guide the evolution of road maintenance financing across the region.

Delegations from Mali, Guinea, Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique, Lesotho, and the Democratic Republic of Congo joined ARMFA President Essaie Moussa Aubin at the Monrovia forum.

Closing the session, Wento reaffirmed that road networks remain “critical arteries of economic exchange and human connection” across Africa—underscoring the central role of sustainable infrastructure in the continent’s development agenda.

The high-profile Capitol Building arson trial involving former House Speaker J. Fonati Koffa and four co-defendants has hit another roadblock. Despite efforts to move forward, multiple prospective jurors failed to appear in court on Wednesday, November 19, prompting Judge Roosevelt Z. Willie to order contempt actions against them. Two persistent absentees were directed to be remanded to the Monrovia Central Prison.

The court managed to select four additional jurors, bringing the total to 11, but still falls short of the required 15-member panel, consisting of 12 regular jurors and three alternates. The selection process has been marred by repeated absences and rejections from both prosecution and defense teams. The defense dismissed six prospective jurors through peremptory challenges, while prosecutors removed others with personal or professional connections to the defendants or lawyers.

The trial's progress has been slow, with jury selection expected to continue. The court had previously sequestered seven jurors selected on Tuesday, November 18, and will continue to work towards completing the jury panel.

"A woman who pledged her loyalty to the Unity Party is now lying in a funeral home along with her two children and two grandchildren, yet no official has made even a single call to the family".

Duport Road Shara fire victims speak out!!

"Attention: Honorable President

Dear Mr. President,

By way of introduction, my name is James Goffa, and I have been a member of the Unity Party since 2005. I am writing with deep concern to respectfully inquire whether my elder brother, Mr. H. Isaac Garnett, has done anything wrong to you or your government. I feel compelled to use this medium to seek clarity on several troubling issues.

Was it wrong for my brother, Mr. Garnett, to support the Unity Party? Despite his consistent and direct financial contributions to the party and to our President, he was removed from his position under circumstances that appear to be both improper and deeply troubling.

After the elections, certain officials within the party reportedly influenced the President of the University of Liberia to unlawfully remove Mr. Garnett and replace him with Mr. Lester Z. Tenny—who had publicly celebrated on Facebook shortly after my brother lost members of his family in a tragic fire incident.
Mr. Tenny’s post stated: “The Bible is always right. There will be no peace for the wicked.”
He removed the post only after receiving serious criticism for making such an insensitive comment. Despite this behavior, he was appointed to the position through the intervention of University of Liberia authorities acting on the influence of certain Unity Party officials.

My brother is now living a quiet private life. Why, then, is there so much hatred and envy directed toward him?

Furthermore, under the watch of the party, Mr. Tenny and the Comptroller of the University of Liberia removed staff from their assignments simply because they maintained a good working relationship with Mr. Garnett. Sadly, no official from the party—including the Chairman and the Secretary General, both of whom witnessed Mr. Garnett’s unwavering support—has spoken on the matter. Where, truly, has my brother gone wrong?

We call ourselves the Unity Party. My question is: where is the unity we pledged our loyalty to? Because this situation does not directly affect officials of the party, it appears to be of no concern to them. A woman who pledged her loyalty and support to the Unity Party is now lying in a funeral home along with her two children and two grandchildren, yet no official has made even a single call to the family.

My mentor, Mrs. Garnett, also became a target once she became involved in community leadership, contributing significantly to development initiatives and youth empowerment. Her positive impact in the community seems to have attracted unwarranted hostility, despite her dedication to serving her district and her people.

I respectfully bring these concerns to your attention, Mr. President, in the hope that justice, fairness, and true unity will prevail."
