CONTEC Global was awarded a contract by the government, through the Liberia Immigration Service (LIS) to digitize the Liberia Alien Resident Permit. He furthered that the company is “issuing very poor-quality resident permits” to aliens. Senator Cyrus described the management of data as a “very expensive commodity”, and further pointed out that CONTEC Global has not been certificated to meet international standards. Under the contract, CONTEC Global is mandated to produce about 350,000 resident permits within five years. He stated that with this known statistic it is now clear that CONTEC Global cannot produce the 350,000 resident permits within a five-year period.
