MONROVIA, June18 (LINA) – The Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) is pushing its digital shift beyond Monrovia by launching hands-on training for its Automated Loan Purchase Agreement platform in county offices.
Phase one targets Gbarpolu, Bomi, and Grand Cape Mount, where staff there are learning how to move from the old manual LPA process to the new fully digital system.
The LPA scheme was first launched under the late Commissioner General Thomas Doe-Nah. It allows LRA employees to buy goods and services from approved vendors, then repay through monthly salary deductions.
The automated platform is built to cut processing time, boost transparency and accountability, and make welfare benefits easier for staff to access, whether they’re at HQ or in the field.
Welfare and Compliance Supervisor Adelaide Payegar, speaking at the training, said the Human Resources Management Division is committed to giving rural Tax and Customs Business Offices the same level of service and support as staff in Monrovia.
Employees at the training called the upgrade a “game-changer” that will make the LPA process faster, simpler, and more transparent.
The county rollout shows LRA’s focus on using technology to improve operations, strengthen staff welfare, and build a modern, service-driven tax administration.
