原文原文 / Original TextPAYNESVILLE, Liberia, September 17, 2026: The National Identification Registry (NIR) has appealed to the National Legislature to expedite consideration of a proposed US$54.7 million investment agreement aimed at modernizing Liberia's national identification system.
NIR Executive Director Andrew Peters made the appeal Wednesday, September 16, during celebrations marking National Identification Day at the Paynesville City Hall under the theme, "My Identity, My Shadow, Never Apart."
Peters said the proposed agreement has reached the Legislature for consideration, acknowledging lawmakers' responsibility to scrutinize the deal and determine whether it meets the requirements for ratification.
"However, on this National Identification Day, we respectfully appeal to the National Legislature for timely and expeditious consideration and, upon satisfaction that all requirements have been met, speedy ratification," Peters said.

The proposed investment is structured as a Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) arrangement with OeSD International GmbH, under which the company would invest approximately US$54.7 million in nationwide biometric enrollment and related national identity infrastructure.
Under the proposed arrangement, OeSD would operate the system for an agreed period to recover its investment before transferring the infrastructure and operations to the Government of Liberia.
Peters said the proposed investment should be viewed beyond the production of identification cards, arguing that a modern national identity system could provide broader benefits to government institutions, financial institutions, businesses, development partners and citizens.
