He cited findings from the General Auditing Commission (GAC), PPCC, Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC), Liberia Telecommunications Authority (LTA), Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA), and the Ministry of Justice, all of which reportedly concluded that mandatory procurement steps were bypassed.<\/p>\n<p>Among the most troubling allegations raised by the Executive are that TIA was incorporated in Delaware, United States, only four days after receiving bid documents, and registered in Liberia nearly ten months after the contract was awarded. The President also pointed to a dramatic increase in TIA\u2019s revenue share\u2014from an initial bid of 35 percent to 49 percent\u2014along with an extension of the contract to an additional 20 years \u201cwithout demonstrable value for money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese irregularities,\u201d the President argued, amount to fraud in the procurement process, rendering the agreement \u201cvoid ab initio,\u201d or invalid from the outset. His administration contends that Liberia lost more than US$50 million in potential revenue as a result of the deal.<\/p>\n<p>For Boakai, the push for de-ratification fits squarely within his broader anti-corruption agenda and campaign pledge to restore integrity to public contracting. The TIA agreement, critics say, has become emblematic of opaque deals struck during past administrations, often at the expense of state revenue.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate\u2019s Counterargument: Due Process and Legal Risk<\/p>\n<p>The Senate, however, sees the matter through a different constitutional and legal lens.<\/p>\n<p>Following a lengthy and often emotional debate, senators on Thursday, February 5, 2026 unanimously adopted the recommendations of a joint committee of Judiciary, Human Rights, Claims and Petitions, and Post and Telecommunications, rejecting de-ratification and urging renegotiation instead.<\/p>\n<p>According to the committee\u2019s report, the controversy has evolved into a contractual dispute, particularly since TIA has categorically denied committing fraud. In such circumstances, senators argued, Liberia is bound by the dispute resolution mechanisms embedded in the ratified agreement itself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ratified Agreement provides for dispute settlement at Section 21.2 of the contract,\u201d the committee noted, pointing to a clause that mandates arbitration under the Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce in London should negotiations fail within two months.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate warned that unilateral de-ratification could expose Liberia to a costly and protracted international arbitration process, with potentially severe financial consequences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is in the best interest of Liberia to respect the terms of the contract to avoid a lengthy and costly arbitration process,\u201d the committee emphasized. \u201cBesides, this will boost investors\u2019 confidence and attract foreign direct investment. Anything on the contrary would scare investors away and deprive Liberia of much-needed foreign direct investments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beyond arbitration risks, the Senate anchored its position in constitutional protections and judicial precedent.<\/p>\n<p>Citing Article 20(a) of the Constitution, the committee stressed that TIA must be afforded due process of law, including the right to be heard before being condemned. Senators also invoked Article 25, which guarantees the obligation of contracts and explicitly prohibits laws that impair contractual rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDe-ratification of a valid, binding and enforceable contract would impair contractual rights, which the Constitution prohibits,\u201d the report stated.<\/p>\n<p>The committee further recalled the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling in Atlantic Resources Inc. v. Government of Liberia and Euro Logging Company, which held that disputes arising from public procurement processes must be addressed under the mechanisms outlined in the PPCC Act\u2014specifically Section 10, which establishes the Complaint, Appeal and Review Panel (CARP).<\/p>\n<p>In that context, senators advised the Executive to pursue remedies through established legal channels rather than legislative annulment.<\/p>\n<p>The TIA agreement has long been dogged by controversy. Initially conceived as a six-year service contract valued at US$3 million annually\u2014or 35 percent of projected revenue, whichever was higher\u2014it was intended to modernize Liberia\u2019s telecom traffic monitoring and revenue assurance systems.<\/p>\n<p>But its 2022 amendment, which critics say quietly transformed the arrangement into a long-term concession, raised fresh alarms. Appearing before a Senate hearing, PPCC Executive Director Bodger Scott Johnson disclosed that his commission never issued the legally required \u201cNo Objection\u201d for the 2018 award.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was no submission for concession structuring, value-for-money analysis, fiscal risk assessment or regulatory approval, as required by law,\u201d Johnson told senators, adding that the PPCC was not consulted on the 2022 amendment either.<\/p>\n<p>TIA, for its part, has rejected the government\u2019s findings, insisting the contract was lawfully awarded and ratified. The company has warned lawmakers that scrapping the deal outright could disrupt telecom revenues and weaken regulatory oversight, advocating renegotiation as a more prudent path.<\/p>\n<p>The TIA dispute has unfolded alongside another legislative clash over the ArcelorMittal Liberia Third Amendment. While the House overwhelmingly approved the amendment\u2014unlocking a projected US$200 million payment to support the 2026 national budget\u2014the Senate proposed changes, prompting the formation of a conference committee to reconcile differences.<\/p>\n<p>Together, the twin disputes underscore a Legislature asserting its independence, even when aligned politically with the Executive.<\/p>\n<p>As conference committees loom and negotiations intensify, the fate of the TIA agreement will test Liberia\u2019s commitment to anti-corruption reforms, constitutionalism, and investor assurance. Whether renegotiation can satisfy the President\u2019s demand for accountability while preserving legal stability remains an open\u2014and consequential\u2014question for the Boakai administration and the nation at large.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Liberia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
