LRA Deputy Commissioner General Begins Nationwide Tour to Assess Staff Conditions and Strengthen Revenue Efforts

Monrovia, Liberia: The Deputy Commissioner General for Administrative Affairs (DCGAA) of the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA), Samuel Bennett, Jr., has begun a nationwide tour to assess the offices and working conditions of LRA staff stationed at Tax Business Offices (TBOs) and Customs Business Offices (CBOs) across the country.

Kicking off the tour in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County, Mr. Bennett commended the dedication and professionalism of the LRA field staff for their continued commitment to duty and their crucial role in mobilizing lawful revenues for the government.

He extended the appreciation of Commissioner General James Dorbor Jallah and the senior management team, emphasizing that the leadership remains proud of the sacrifices and outstanding performance demonstrated by staff across Liberia.

According to Mr. Bennett, the purpose of the tour is to identify operational challenges, assess facility needs, and develop practical solutions that will inform the LRA’s 2026 national budget.

“We are now working on the budget for 2026. Visiting you in person allows us to see firsthand the issues you face, so we can make informed budgetary decisions and implement the right interventions to improve working conditions and strengthen revenue collection,” Mr. Bennett said.

D. Kaihenneh Sengbeh, Communications Manager at the LRA, disclosed that the tour covers counties in the southeastern region and is expected to be extended to other parts of the country.  

During the start of the visit, officials and staff at the Buchanan TBO and CBO expressed appreciation for the engagement, describing it as a morale booster and a sign of responsive leadership. They outlined several pressing needs, including office renovations, improved logistics, and enhanced operational support, which they said are essential to achieving the LRA’s goal of mobilizing one billion dollars in domestic revenue.

The DCGAA was accompanied by a high-level delegation comprising senior officials from various departments, including, Assistant Commissioner for Human Resources, focusing on staff welfare, Assistant Commissioner for General Services, assessing infrastructure and facility needs, Manager for Rural Tax, evaluating challenges faced by local tax officers and representatives from Domestic Tax, Customs, Budget & Finance, and Communications divisions.

The nationwide tour highlights the management’s continued commitment to improving staff welfare, enhancing working environments, and strengthening Liberia’s overall revenue mobilization efforts through closer engagement and informed decision-making.
