Liberian Representative Moima Briggs-Mensah demands transparency regarding the delivery and financing of new heavy-duty equipment known as 'yellow machines' for the country's road sector.
On March 5, 2026, at the Capitol Building in Monrovia, Representative Moima Briggs-Mensah of Bong County District #6 urged for full transparency regarding the recently arrived 'yellow machines,' which are essential pieces of heavy-duty machinery for Liberia's road infrastructure. She expressed the need for the government to disclose specific details about the equipment delivered, its financing sources, and the oversight mechanisms that were in place to ensure accountability before celebrating this infrastructural advancement.
Briggs-Mensah highlighted the importance of clarity to both lawmakers and citizens, emphasizing that there should be no ambiguity surrounding public resources used for such projects. While acknowledging that the introduction of this machinery under a renegotiated agreement is beneficial for Liberia's road sector, she insisted that unanswered questions about the procurement process must be addressed to prevent mismanagement and corruption.
The call for transparency comes at a crucial time, as Liberia continues to grapple with challenges in infrastructure development and public trust in governance. Making sure the public is informed about the specifics of such investments can play a pivotal role in shaping future infrastructure projects and improve accountability in the management of national resources.
