Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The Ministry of Transport has embarked on a series of engagements with concession companies in Nimba County, encouraging them to fulfill their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitments and continue investing in areas such as health, education, and infrastructure that benefit local communities.<\/p>\n

Assistant Minister for Administration and Insurance, James Karpu Momo, highlighted the ministry\u2019s focus on ensuring that all concession operations adhere to Liberia\u2019s legal framework, particularly in transportation regulations. The ministry\u2019s team emphasized the importance of compliance with vehicle registration, insurance, and driver\u2019s licensing laws, as well as the need for companies to meet all regulatory and operational obligations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are here to make sure that all concession companies meet the terms and conditions outlined in their agreements, particularly regarding legal and regulatory compliance,\u201d said Minister Momo.<\/p>\n

Focus on Licenses, Permits, and Safety Standards<\/b><\/p>\n

The Assistant Minister explained that all concession companies are required to obtain the necessary licenses and permits from the Ministry of Transport. This includes eligibility certificates, especially for those managing garages. \u201cAll concession companies must apply for the eligibility certificate,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n

Minister Momo also underscored the ministry\u2019s focus on transportation safety, particularly compliance with road and rail safety standards. He disclosed that the ministry will soon implement axle load regulations to ensure companies adhere to load limits, further enhancing transportation safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are conducting roadworthiness tests for all concession companies in Nimba County to ensure compliance,\u201d Momo added. \u201cThese tests are not limited to concessions but extend to other entities as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Monitoring, Evaluation, and Inspections<\/b><\/p>\n

The Ministry of Transport plans to conduct both scheduled and surprise inspections of concession operations, with a focus on ensuring compliance with transport safety regulations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese inspections will help us ensure that all companies are following the necessary safety protocols,\u201d Minister Momo said.<\/p>\n

In addition, the ministry is addressing issues related to unpaid debts from past obligations. Minister Momo revealed that the government aims to collect over two million U.S. dollars in taxes owed by concession companies.<\/p>\n

New Office for the Ministry in Nimba<\/b><\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Minister Momo announced plans to construct a modern office in Nimba County, which will provide a permanent base for the Ministry of Transport\u2019s operations. \u201cThis will put an end to the ministry\u2019s practice of renting temporary office spaces in the county,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

The Ministry\u2019s efforts to strengthen compliance and promote CSR initiatives are seen as crucial steps toward improving infrastructure, safety, and development in Nimba County, while also ensuring that concession companies uphold their commitments to the communities in which they operate.<\/p>\n
