Bomi County Senator Edwin M. Snowe has written the Liberian Senate to probe the reported agreement and establishment of a gambling center within the premises of the Liberia Broadcasting System (LBS). In a communication on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, Senator Snowe said credible reports indicate that the Liberia Broadcasting System (LBS) has entered into an agreement with Blue Star Hi-Tech Liberia Limited, a gambling company operating in Liberia, thereby establishing a gambling center on the institution’s premises.
He said this development raises serious concerns regarding the moral standing, institutional integrity, and public image of the nation’s premier broadcasting entity, which is financed by the National Government and serves as a vital platform for national communication, education, and entertainment.
“In view of the sensitivity of this matter, and the need to safeguard the integrity of the LBS, I respectfully request that plenary mandate the Senate’s Committee on Information, Broadcasting and Cultural Affairs to conduct a full-scale investigation into the alleged agreement between LBS and said gambling company,” he requested.
According to him, if the matter remains unchecked, it could erode public trust in one of our nation’s most important communication institutions. Meanwhile, the communication has been sent to the Senate’s Committee on Information, Broadcasting and Cultural Affairs and is to report in one week.
