President Boakai Issues Cabinet Directive on Excessive Foreign Trips, Orders Restrictions on Officials’ Travel

Thursday, May 28, 2026

Executive Mansion, Monrovia: President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., has issued a cabinet directive significantly restricting official foreign travel by Cabinet Ministers and senior government officials, citing growing concerns over the need for stronger focus on mounting national priorities.

The directive immediately imposes stringent conditions on all foreign trips undertaken by ministers, heads of agencies and commissions, ambassadors, and other senior officials.

Issuing the "Cabinet Directive” at a cabinet meeting this afternoon, President Boakai asserted that some of the travels have negatively affected Cabinet participation and disrupted key government operations, depriving the Administration of critical policy input and leadership at important decision-making levels.

The President in the directive further noted that repeated international trips financial burdens on the Government at a time when resources are needed for urgent national development priorities.

According to the directive, no government official will be allowed to embark on official foreign travel without expressed prior approval from the President.

Meanwhile, the Liberian Leader has also introduced a “Virtual Participation First Policy,” directing Ministries, Agencies, and Commissions to prioritize participation in international meetings through platforms such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams whenever practical.

The Chief Executive and Chair of the Cabinet further mandates that all travel requests must now provide detailed justification, including the strategic relevance of the trip to Liberia, estimated costs, funding sources, delegation composition, and explanations as to why virtual participation would not be sufficient.

President Boakai in the directive stressed that physical attendance at conferences and international engagements will only be approved where it is “demonstrably necessary” and clearly in Liberia’s national interest.

The President ordered that, except under extraordinary circumstances, no Cabinet Minister or senior official should undertake more than one official foreign trip per quarter unless expressly authorized by him.

Additionally, travel requests will be denied if the absence of the official is likely to affect Cabinet deliberations, institutional leadership, urgent decision-making, or critical government functions.

The directive also reinforces strict compliance with government travel regulations, including limitations on class of travel, per diem allowances, accommodations, and related expenditures.

Implementation and monitoring of the directive will be jointly supervised by the Ministry of State for Presidential Affairs and the Cabinet Office, while reserving the right to grant exceptions in cases involving compelling national interests.

The President cautioned that all officials are expected to fully comply with the new policy in the interest of responsible governance, operational efficiency, and prudent management of public resources.

"...It's Liberia that Matters Most"
President Boakai Declares as He Breaks Grounds for Mendicorma–Voinjama Corridor Project

Sunday, May 24, 2026

Mendicorma, Foya District, Lofa County – President Joseph Nyuma Boakai Sr., has broken ground for the construction of a 86 kilometer highway asphalt pavement that will run from Mendicorma in Foya District to Voinjama City, the administrative seat of Lofa County.

In remarks at the groundbreaking ceremony on Saturday, May 23, 2026, the Liberian Leader stressed the strategic importance of this stretch of road. "Where this project is,” he noted, it is going to serve not just the people of Lofa,” pointing out, “We have predominantly people with interwoven cultures, commercial interest, and ethnic identities.

The President seized the moment to particularly rain praises on the Ministry of Public Works for its profound display of courage and hard work.

President Boakai recalled that initially the Ministry appeared to have been beset by hesitation and lapses, but that it was able to effect a dramatic turnaround in this approach. He urged Minister Lafayette Roland Giddings and his Team at the Ministry to sustain this momentum to ensure prompt and effective ex*****on of this project.

The Liberian Chief Executive also lauded his Sierra Leonean counterpart, His Excellency Julius Maada Bio, for the collaborative effort in strengthening bilateral and regional cooperation.

Addressing Liberians in general, President Boakai called on his compatriots to put aside divisive politics and focus on the nation’s development agendas which seeks to advance infrastructure expansion, human capital advancement, and creation of opportunities for the younger and future generations.

"To those fighting,” the President reminded Liberians, “it is Liberia that matters most, as we need development to open up every part of this country to create opportunities for the younger and next generations to come."

President Boakai made the call on Saturday, May 23, 2026 at the official groundbreaking ceremony for the Mendicorma to Voinjama highway pavement project, which is expected to improve connectivity, enhance trade, and boost economic activities within Lofa County and in neighboring communities along the confluence of Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea.

Initiating the project, which also forms part of his broader infrastructure development agenda, the Liberian Leader averred that there is nowhere else called Liberia that we know as ours. As such he urged that Liberians work together to make the homeland better, lifting it to the noble standard at which it ought to be.

"Let all of us work together to make this country better, as this is where God has given us. We must take responsibility to develop it,” the President said.

Further, President Boakai predicted that the Mendicorma to Voinjama highway pavement will serve as a booster of regional economy of the Mano River Union countries, given the project's close proximity to Guinea and Sierra Leone.

President Boakai also lauded His Excellency Julius Maada Bio, President of the Republic of Seria Leone for the collaborative effort in strengthening regional cooperation.

A lineup of several high level government officials, eminent personalities, foreign diplomats, traditional chiefs and elders, private sector stakeholders, regional partners spoke at the occasion, hailing the undertaking as historic and portending impactful benefits to Liberia and the region.

Some of those delivering supportive statements were Local Government, Minister Francis Sakila Nyumalin, Public Works Minister Lafayette R. Giddings, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Thomas P. Fallah, a Representative of His Excellency the Ambassador of Sierra Leone Eddie S. Massally, Lofa Legislative Caucus Chairman Cllr. Joseph K Jallah, as well as Mr. Alimou Sami Barrie, CEO of Pavifort Associates, the construction company.
