Liberia-The divisions of Land and Rail Transport and Insurance at the Ministry of Transport over the weekend conducted a compliance and physical inspection with Western Cluster Limited in Bomi County.
The inspection exercise forms part of the Ministry’s decentralization efforts aimed at ensuring motor vehicle inspections and regulatory enforcement are effectively implemented across the country.
Speaking to the media upon their arrival, Assistant Minister for Land and Rail Transport, Zunu Duyann, explained that the team’s visit was an official engagement with concession companies operating in the region. He emphasized that the monitoring and inspection focused on vehicles used by Western Cluster Limited, particularly those traveling along the Monrovia-Bomi Road corridor.
“Our presence here signifies an official working visit with concession companies. We are here to monitor and physically inspect all motor vehicles used by the company along this route,” Duyann said. The Assistant Minister further highlighted that the inspection is intended to ensure that concession companies comply with vehicle and traffic laws. This includes verifying the possession of valid driver’s licenses, updated registration documents, roadworthy vehicles, and proper safety procedures.
“This exercise is essential in making sure that all motor vehicles meet the required legal standards. Compliance with the vehicle and traffic laws is non-negotiable,” he emphasized. Duyann also disclosed that similar inspections would be conducted with other concession companies in Western Liberia as part of the Ministry’s broader effort to ensure compliance across the region.
In addition to concession vehicles, the Assistant Minister announced that the inspection, registration, and enforcement of valid documents for both private and commercial vehicles, including motorbikes, will begin this week.
“I want to encourage all vehicle owners and operators to register their vehicles according to the country’s traffic laws,” he urged. “Be informed that any government vehicle found non-compliant with these laws will be parked until the issues are resolved.”
Also speaking to the media, Madam Florence Paye, Director of Insurance, urged concession companies, private, and commercial vehicle owners to insure and register their vehicles to align with national laws. “Vehicle owners must ensure they are fully insured and registered to remain in compliance,” she said.
Paye expressed concern about insurance companies delaying the settlement of claims for operators facing difficulties. She encouraged affected parties to officially report such issues to the Division of Insurance at the Ministry of Transport, attaching all relevant supporting documents. “We are now proactively addressing these concerns,” she assured. “Operators with unsettled claims should bring their complaints to us with the necessary documentation, and we will intervene.”
The Director of Insurance also cautioned vehicle owners to be honest when declaring their risks with insurance companies. “Submitting accurate information during the insurance process is crucial,” she said. “This helps avoid the delays often experienced during claim settlements in the event of an accident.”
The weekend inspection marks a significant step in the Ministry of Transport’s ongoing efforts to enhance road safety and compliance nationwide.
