CID TO INVESTIGATE NASSIT
By Abdulrahman Koroma
Joseph Mans Jr.,
Director General of the National Social Security and Insurance Trust (NASSIT)
on Tuesday 8th November 2016 described the 42 million news
scam on his institution as baseless and untrue.
While addressing
Newsmen at the NASSIT Conference Hall in Freetown, Joseph Mans stated that on
September 19th this year, Gibrilla Kamara, a cashier at NASSIT
was accused of defrauding the institution 18 million Leones.
He further stated
that the internal report discovered that the fraudulent act was done by the
cashier alone and that he was stationed at their Western Region Office in
Freetown.
“The matter has not
been reported to the police because our internal investigating team was looking
at the matter and we will provide our investigation report to help the police
with their investigation” he asserted.
He briefed that the Anti Corruption Commission has not formally
expressed interest on the matter and that the local tabloid did not contact
their institution to hear their own side of the story as professionalism
demands.
He encouraged the
general public to always have trust in their institution and that his
administration will always uphold the core values of transparency and decency
in providing good service to the public.
He pointed out that
the institution has a contributed income of 100 billion Leones in 2010 and 135
billion Leones in 2011, adding that in 2012 and 2013 NASSIT increased it
contribution to 196 and 225.5 billion Leones respectively.
Joseph Mans stated that during his era in 2014 and 2015
the institution had a contributing amount of 272 and 323.5 billion Leones
correspondingly.
