*Africell SL Wins 2019 NASSIT Compliance Award*

The National Social Security & Insurance Trust (NASSIT) has awarded the leading Mobile Company in Sierra Leone, Africell, for full compliance with the provisions of NASSIT Act No.5 of July 2001, for the 2019 Financial Year.
The program was organized at the Radisson Blu Mammy Yoko Hotel in Freetown and it was meant to recognize those employers that are in compliance with the National Social Security & Insurance scheme.

The National Social Security and Insurance Trust was set up to administer Sierra Leone’s National Pension’s Scheme. The Trust was established to provide retirement and other benefits to meet the contingency needs for workers and their dependents.

Kobi Walker, Managing Director of National Petroleum Company was one of the guests at the occasion and talked about the robust and aggressive marketing strategy Africell has employed over the time giving it the enviable position to be recognized as a leading mobile company that is growing at the top and currently the leading telecommunication industry in Sierra Leone in terms of subscriber base.

He lauded the management of Africell for complying with NASSIT, adding that Africell has not only shown good management skills but also demonstrated that they were a company of high standing in relation to the Trust.

He made it abundantly clear that other mobile companies and business institutions operating in Sierra Leone were not in full compliance with the provisions of the NASSIT Act No.5 of 2001. As a result, He cautioned institutions that were not in compliance with the law else they will have themselves to blame.

Andrew S. Fatoma is Africell’s Human Resource Director and he responded to the award saying that the award was a pleasant surprise to the management of Africell. He also disclosed that Africell has always strived to be in compliance with NASSIT by paying their contributions in full and on time.

“The award is a pleasant surprise,” he said, add

*‼Big Trouble for NGOs in Sierra Leone*

Non-Governmental Organisations in Sierra Leone are facing new challenges over a new act that intends to regulate their finances over their clients or beneficiaries. According to investigative reports being monitored by this press, it is intimidated that the transactions between local Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in the country and their foreign partners or donors will soon face strict scrutiny.

The new proposed policy or law by Government will see NGOs/CSOs commit 70% of their allocations to their target beneficiaries, and retain 30% in taxes and management cost.
Few months back, the Ministry of Economic Planning held series of meetings with NGOs/CSOs for the full implementation of the policy which among other things includes the 70% quota.

Though the matter is still unresolved between Government and the NGO Community yet sources say that the focus is to strip-off NGOs of 70% resources to go directly benefitting beneficiaries than rippling off them.
It is also noted that CEOs of NGOs are exploiting their beneficiaries by failing to implement full resources on them.

Corruption and exploitation have surfaced as the main reasons why the NGOs/CSOs have been subject to the new rules soon to be implemented. Meanwhile, the NGO community has debunked the allegations as merely trumpeted and politically motivated. As far as they are concerned, they have not agreed with government proposal on the issue.

*‼The Leone plunges to the US Dollar by 100%*

Sierra Leone’s currency, the Leone, has lost over 100 percent of its value to the US Dollar since 2016, according to Bank of Sierra Leone. The Bank noticed the general public in a press release dated 20 August, 2019 that it is illegal under the country’s laws to quote prices in foreign currencies. The law states that all prices in the domestic market have to be in Leones. However, Bank of Sierra Leone operates in a setting of weak law enforcement.

Therefore, section 26 (4) of the Bank of Sierra Leone Act, 2019 are largely violated. Large part of the economy is dollarized with impunity. The prices of renting a house, booking for hotel and flight ticket, renting a car, consulting fees, wages of foreign workers are among the economic activities largely quoted in US Dollars instead of the legal tender, the Leone.

However, illegal dollarization is not the only currency problems of Sierra Leone. Bank of Sierra Leone depends heavily on exports), especially exports of minerals, to build its foreign exchange reserves to be able to influence the exchange rate of the Leone in the international foreign exchange market. However, export of minerals is very volatile. The share of mineral exports fell from 90 percent in 2013 to 30 percent in 2018, according to latest figures from the National Advocacy Coalition on Extractives (NACE).

Even a booming natural resource sector in the early 2010s could not make the exchange rate appreciate; suggesting that the exchange rate in Sierra Leone depends little on capital inflows, including Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in mineral extraction, in agriculture, in manufacturing, in construction and service, international aid, loans from lending institutions such as the World Bank and IMF, remittance etc.

It seems the real exchange rate is more depended on terms of trade (import and export) than capital inflows. The prices of exports including minerals, agriculture and manufacturing are fixed in

*‼Russia To Supply Mining Robots to Sierra Leone*

*_The second plenary session at the 2019 Russia-Africa Summit at the Sirius Park of Science and Art in Sochi, Russia, 24 October 2019_*

RUSSIAN companies have offered African countries solutions based on the internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) to boost mining production. The offers follow the realisation that traditional means are becoming increasingly expensive, with productivity falling due to technical maintenance costs, unreliable equipment, reactive troubleshooting, a lower equipment utilisation coefficient and accidents connected to the transgression of safety regulations.

This was the prevailing theme at a panel discussion entitled: "The Mining Industry in Africa: New Russian Technologies and High Efficiency" held as part of the recent Russia-Africa Summit and Economic Forum in Sochi. Igor Bogachev, Chief Executive Officer of ZYFRA, said the company was offering Africa an automated mining and transport management system as well as robotic technologies.

He said the system of production control allowed for efficiency of the mine fleet and optimise ore production and transportation, increasing mining volume by 15 percent. The robotic trucks performance is 20 percent higher than that of the usual technology.

"Our autonomous dump trucks are already operational in Russia and Morocco," Bogachev said. David Francis, Prime Minister of Sierra Leone, said a country-wide aerial survey of geological resources had recently been conducted.

"We now know the approximate volume and quantities of mineral resources that our country possesses," he said. "We know that Russia has accumulated the knowledge and experience to help Sierra Leone evaluate all the information, enabling us to verify and confirm the amount, type and estimated value of the natural resources."
George Oyema, head of General Maniema Mining Company in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), said remote control technologies were effective
