NCD Requests NLe 4.7 Million Funding to Support Sierra Leone’s Democratic Strengthening in 2025

September 2, 2024

By Foday Moriba Conteh

The National Commission for Democracy (NCD) has presented its 2025 budget request, seeking NLe 4,734,000 to effectively fulfill its mandate and support the country’s democratic framework. Established in 1994 and governed by the 1996 Act of Parliament, the NCD is tasked with promoting democracy, good governance, patriotism and nationalism in Sierra Leone. The proposed budget aligns with the Public Financial Management Act (PFMA) and aims to implement key objectives outlined in the Government’s Medium-Term National Development Plan (2024-2030).

In his presentation at the 2025 Budget Hearing, held on Thursday, August 29, 2024, at the Ministry of Finance in Freetown, Rev. Gibrilla Kargbo, Communications and PR Director of the National Commission for Democracy (NCD), began by highlighting the NCD’s financial performance for 2023, noting that the Ministry of Finance approved NLe 3,095,500 for the fiscal year. However, the Commission only received NLe 1,800,000 as a subvention and an additional NLe 2,000,000 for election-related activities.

He further explained that the Commission also received donor support from International IDEA for key initiatives such as the development and validation of messages for the 2023 multi-tier elections and town hall meetings across the regional headquarter towns.

Regarding the NCD’s achievements in 2023, Rev. Gibrilla Kargbo highlighted several key accomplishments. These included commemorating the International Day of Democracy, fostering political dialogue and increasing the Commission’s visibility through town hall meetings, media engagements and educational outreach. The NCD also worked with over 1,600 participants from various communities to promote political tolerance and coexistence and it engaged in extensive voter education efforts across the country.

However, Rev. Gibrilla Kargbo pointed out several challenges faced by the Commission in 2023, including high levels of illiteracy, inadequate logistics and equipment, reduced donor support and the late release of funds. He also emphasized the need for a review of the existing 1996 Act governing the NCD to reflect modern trends.

For 2024, the NCD received NLe 3,700,000, with NLe 1,731,700 disbursed as of August 2024. Achievements for 2024 included the publication of the 2023 Annual Report, enhanced staff efficiency and ongoing work on the National State of Democracy Survey.

Looking ahead to the 2025-2027 fiscal years, Rev. Gibrilla Kargbo presented a proposed budget of NLe 4.7 million, with a salary grant of NLe 11.2 million. He also highlighted the NCD’s strengths and opportunities, including its statutory status, decentralization and continuous engagement with Government Ministries.

In alignment with the Government’s “Big Five” game changers, Rev. Gibrilla Kargbo emphasized the NCD’s focus on transforming the public service architecture and promoting democratic good governance for peace and national cohesion. Key interventions will include fostering public debates on national issues and collaborating with both governmental and non-governmental organizations to strengthen democratic governance in Sierra Leone.

Earlier, in her opening remarks, Marian Samu, Chairperson of the National Commission for Democracy (NCD), described the session as the beginning of crucial implementation efforts. “It is only when you discuss what you have done, how you have done it and why you did not achieve everything you set out to do that progress is made,” she noted.

Marian Samu expressed gratitude to the Government of Sierra Leone for its support of the Commission’s activities, particularly in providing resources for election-related initiatives. She also praised International IDEA for its assistance with other election-related programs.

She underscored the importance of continued Government support for the Commission’s programs, which are vital for fostering national unity, social cohesion and civic mindfulness.

Marian Samu emphasized that the NCD is committed to contributing to the success of the Government’s Big Five programs by addressing illiteracy and negative attitudes that have impeded the country’s development.

The ceremony concluded with remarks from Gbonie Conteh, Assistant Director of Budget at the Ministry of Finance. This was followed by comments and questions from representatives of the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development, civil society and other stakeholders.

As he Reinforces President Bio’s Vision… NCRA DG Champions One Man, One Identity Policy for National Security

August 28, 2024

By Amin Kef (Ranger)

In a recent Press Conference organized by the National Civil Registration Authority (NCRA) ahead of the 7th Africa Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) Day, NCRA Director-General Mohamed Mubashir Massaquoi reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring that every citizen in Sierra Leone is accounted for through the principle of “One Man, One Identity.” The event also served as a platform to announce Sierra Leone’s plans to commemorate the day with a demonstration of SIM card registration linked to the National Identification Number (NIN).

The decision to link SIM cards with NINs is a crucial step in enhancing national security and accountability. According to the Director General, the initiative aims to eliminate the misuse of mobile phones for harmful activities, such as spreading misinformation, inciting violence and conducting fraudulent transactions. For years, some individuals have exploited anonymity to engage in slander, intimidation and other illicit activities, often undermining public peace and safety.

The Director-General assured the nation, particularly the security sector, that once the SIM-NIN linkage is fully implemented, it will be nearly impossible for anyone to commit crimes anonymously using mobile communications. He stressed that this move aligns Sierra Leone with global practices, ensuring that those who attempt to disrupt the country’s peace and development are swiftly identified and brought to justice. He emphasized that the development initiatives of President Julius Maada Bio will not be hindered by the actions of troublemakers.

Mohamed Massaquoi’s unwavering commitment to “One Man, One Identity” underscores the NCRA’s mission to eradicate identity fraud and manipulation, which has historically allowed individuals to hold multiple identities for various purposes. His leadership has been instrumental in transforming the NCRA into an institution that upholds civil registration as both a right and a critical component of national development.

Despite the challenges that come with his high-profile role, Mohamed Mubashir Massaquoi remains focused on his mission of delivering quality services to the people of Sierra Leone. Critics may judge or misunderstand, but his leadership is driven by resilience, dedication and a deep commitment to inclusivity and integrity in public service.

Under his guidance, the NCRA has evolved into a model institution, reflecting the vision of President Julius Maada Bio for efficient governance. Through his steadfast leadership, Mohamed Mubashir Massaquoi has ensured that every citizen is recognized and accounted for, paving the way for a more secure and transparent society.

Meya Mining’s Latest 391- Carat Diamond Discovery Enhances Sierra Leone’s Global Standing

August 28, 2024

By Amin Kef (Ranger)

In a major announcement made on August 26, 2024, the Ministry of Mines and Mineral Resources, alongside the National Minerals Agency, revealed the recovery of a remarkable 391.45-carat diamond from the Meya Mine in Kono District, Eastern Sierra Leone. This exceptional diamond was unearthed on August 20, 2024, marking the second extraordinary discovery from the Meya River kimberlite domain, one of 16 kimberlite zones targeted within the mining license area.

This discovery follows the 2017 recovery of a 476-carat Type IIa diamond, known as the Meya Prosperity, during the initial bulk sampling program. That earlier find stemmed from a 523.44-carat diamond, which was divided into three segments: 476.98 carats, 27.89 carats and 18.58 carats. Similarly, the recently recovered stone was originally a 514.99-carat diamond that was split into three pieces, yielding 391.53 carats, 105.43 carats and 18.11 carats.

Geologically, the recovery of another large, superdeep Type IIa diamond is noteworthy. According to Casey Hetman of SRK Consulting, these diamonds originate from the earth’s lower mantle, approximately 750 kilometers beneath the surface—much deeper than most natural diamonds, which form at depths of 150 to 250 kilometers. The diamonds at Meya are less likely to be fragmented by explosive forces during their ascent, as they are emplaced within dykes, rather than pipes, preserving their integrity.

The Company’s specialized processing plant, designed by Consulmet of South Africa and equipped with cutting-edge technology from Tomra Sorting Solutions in Germany, was instrumental in recovering this stone. Jan Joubert, CEO of Meya Mining, emphasized the rarity of such finds, noting, “Only four mines globally occasionally recover diamonds over 500 carats. The fact that Meya has found two such diamonds from just 84,195 tonnes of kimberlite suggests significant potential as we scale up to steady-state production of 500,000 tonnes annually. Our focus now is on upgrading the plant to minimize breakages and enhance recovery of these high-value stones intact.”

This marks the sixth time an exceptional diamond has been discovered in the region, underscoring Sierra Leone’s status as a key source of some of the world’s largest diamonds. Since 1945, six of the largest diamonds globally have been recovered from Sierra Leone, including the 770-carat Woyie Diamond (1945), the 620-carat Sefadu Diamond (1970), the 969-carat Star of Sierra Leone (1973), the 709-carat Peace Diamond (2017), the 476-carat Meya Prosperity (2017) and now the 391-carat discovery.

Reacting to the news, Julius Daniel Mattai, Minister of Mines and Mineral Resources, expressed optimism that this discovery will renew international interest in the country’s mining potential. “The recovery of the 391-carat diamond reaffirms Sierra Leone’s immense mineral resource potential. I am particularly pleased with the transparent approach taken by Meya Mining to determine the market value of this stone, ensuring that economic benefits are equitably shared among all stakeholders,” the Minister stated.

This discovery once again places Sierra Leone in the spotlight as a premier source of exceptional diamonds, reinforcing the country’s reputation on the global stage.

Sierra Leone Police Set to Transition into a Service Under IGP Sellu’s Visionary Leadership

August 28, 2024

By Esther Wright

In a move inspired by Ghana’s successful transition from a “police force” to a “police service,” the Inspector General of Police (IGP) for Sierra Leone, William Fayia Sellu, has revealed plans to transform the Sierra Leone Police (SLP) into a service-oriented institution. To advance this initiative, IGP Sellu is actively seeking strategic partnerships and collaborations.

This vision took a significant step forward on February 26, 2024, when Fayia Sellu held discussions with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Resident Representative, Frederick Ampiah, at Police Headquarters. Their meeting explored the possibility of replicating Ghana’s transition model, with Mr. Ampiah bringing valuable insights from his involvement in Ghana’s reform.

Building on these discussions, a high-level delegation led by the UNDP embarked on an exploratory visit to Ghana on August 12, 2024. The delegation included IGP Sellu, Minister of Internal Affairs Major General (Rtd) David Taluva, Deputy Minister of Justice Hon. Alpha Sesay Esq., Director of Policy in the Ministry of Internal Affairs Mohamed G. Yoki Esq., Regional Commander for Freetown-West AIG Sylvester Koroma, Acting Director of Corporate Affairs ACP Esther Kaintor-Dukuray and Head of Media, Public Relations, and Sports ACP Brima Kamara. The primary goal of the visit was to learn from Ghana’s experience in transitioning to a police service.

Upon their arrival at the Ghana Police Service Headquarters, the Sierra Leone delegation was warmly received by the Inspector General of the Ghana Police Service, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, who provided a detailed briefing on the reform processes. The delegation engaged with key stakeholders over three days to gain comprehensive insights into the transition. Speaking to the media at the end of the visit, IGP Sellu confirmed that both the Sierra Leonean Government and its strategic partners remain fully committed to supporting the transition, with the UNDP playing a crucial coordinating role.

Key outcomes from the visit included:

The establishment of a technical working group to steer the transition.
The development of a clear roadmap for the transformation.
The shift from strategic planning to operational execution.
Enhanced inter-agency collaboration.
Institutionalized partnerships leading to a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
The formation of a bilateral partnership with the Ghana Police Service.

IGP Sellu expressed confidence that the shared history and similar contexts between Ghana and Sierra Leone make the lessons learned highly relevant. He noted that the visit provided both practical insights and a concrete roadmap for guiding Sierra Leone’s own transition from a “police force” to a “police service.”

Hon. Tawa Conteh Leads Successful Recovery of Over Le 40 Billion in Tax Arrears

August 28, 2024

By Foday Moriba Conteh

In a significant financial recovery effort, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the Sierra Leone Parliament, chaired by the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Ibrahim Tawa Conteh, announced the recovery of over 40 billion old leones in tax arrears. The announcement was made on Friday, 23rd August 2024, at the Kenema District Council in the presence of Heads of devolved sectors.

The recoveries pertain to arrears from the 2021 and 2022 audit periods, with the Committee focusing primarily on Corporate Taxes, Goods and Services Tax (GST), Pay As You Earn (PAYE) and withholding taxes.

Highlighting the Committee’s work, Hon. Tawa Conteh revealed that a significant portion of the recovered funds came from GST payments. He noted that the PAC examined the cases of eleven taxpayers, collaborating closely with the Ministry of Finance and the National Revenue Authority (NRA) throughout the inquiry. “Over 30 billion leones was recovered,” Hon. Conteh stated, crediting the NRA for its pivotal role.

Further recoveries were made from mobile network operators and internet service providers, with 10.5 billion old Leones paid into the Universal Access Development Fund. Additionally, Hon. Conteh reported that small and medium-sized businesses, alongside micro-tax contributors, owed over 3.5 billion old Leones. Out of this, more than one billion old Leones has already been recovered, while payment plans have been arranged for the remaining amounts.

For transit accounts and machinery operations, the Chairman confirmed that a substantial sum has been deposited into the Consolidated Revenue Fund.

Hon. Tawa Conteh emphasized that the PAC Secretariat is actively sending correspondences to the NRA and other agencies to address outstanding arrears, while also working to resolve inter-agency tax liabilities. He assured that all recovered funds have been deposited into the Consolidated Revenue Fund, with the PAC Secretariat maintaining all necessary documentation for verification.

The Deputy Speaker reaffirmed the Committee’s commitment to holding all institutions accountable for any outstanding Government debts. “Any institution owing the Government will be held accountable and must eventually pay its dues to the state,” he asserted.

Hon. Conteh also used the occasion to urge Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) to operate within legal frameworks and adhere to audit standards, stressing the importance of compliance with rules and regulations.

“In the work of the PAC, there is no secrecy; it is open, transparent, and a work in progress. The Committee will never relent in its quest to recover missing funds for the state,” he said.

Looking ahead, Hon. Conteh stated that the PAC will continue to engage MDAs in raising awareness about the importance of prudent public financial management and training.

He expressed gratitude to his fellow MPs for their dedication to promoting transparency and accountability in Sierra Leone’s governance, while also recognizing the contributions of previous PAC Chairmen toward advancing accountability and transparency for the benefit of the state.

The Chairman concluded by noting that the PAC is currently engaging Local Councils across the country, based on the Auditor General’s Reports for the fiscal years 2021/2022.

Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso Dialogue Still Possible with ECOWAS – Says VP Juldeh Jalloh

August 28, 2024

By Esther Wright

Vice President of Sierra Leone, Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh, has said that dialogue is still possible even though the break may seem complete, because Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali, the three countries of the Alliance of Sahel States, are founding members of ECOWAS, the Economic Community of West African States.

”The challenges and difficulties are many and we do not deny them. For our part, President Julius Maada Bio [Sierra Leone] has begun to build very effective relationships with these countries to restart dialogue,” he revealed.

In an exclusive interview with Le Point, the global News Magazine that enjoys over 22 million readers and millions of subscribers globally, the former Advisor of the Sahel to the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for UNOWAS, said Sierra Leone’s President will leverage the UN Security Council platform to discuss stability initiatives in the region.

“I have also personally worked in some Sahel countries, serving as an advisor to the UN Special Representative in Dakar, Senegal and later with MINUSMA in Mali. Therefore, I am closely acquainted with the difficult situation these states and their populations are facing,” he asserted.

He further disclosed that ECOWAS had also appointed Senegal’s President Bassirou Diomaye Faye as a special envoy to engage the three Sahelian countries on the path to their effective return to the sub-regional organisation. He added that they were convinced of the need to do everything possible to ensure they regained their full place within the regional bloc.

“President Julius Maada Bio had the opportunity to hold a one-on-one discussion with his counterpart, Ibrahim Traoré. This allowed him to gain a clearer understanding of the situation in Burkina Faso. They discussed various topics, including different stability initiatives and how we should work with the Sahelian countries for their return to the ECOWAS family,” he said.
