Commissioner Francis Ben Kaifala Esq. 2. Deputy Commissioner Shollay Davies 3. Nabilahi - Musa Kamara, Director of NACS 4. Patrick Sandi, Deputy Director of Public Education and Outreac h 5. Emmanuel Koivaya Amara Esq. , Prosecutor 6. Zainab Othman, Head of Assets Declaration Unit 7. Abubakarr Turay, Head of Outreach Unit 8. Emmanuel Hughes, Audio - Visual Officer

8. 8  Internet connectivity is a major challenge for the off ice.  The regional office lacks financial autonomy, as all proposals and expenditures must be sanctioned by HQ before implementation no matter how small the amount involved. This often slows the operations of the office.  Courts are not enforcing custodial sentences of individuals convicted of corruption  No safe box t o keep very sensitive materials.  L ack of safe equipment to keep and preserve collaterals of sureties and court exhibits .  No camera to take pictorial evidence of cases reported or issues that come to the attention of the office that may warrant investigation.  The two desktop computers used by the two investigating officers are faulty and it takes them lots of difficulties to wr ite their reports on time.  The top ups (airtime) for office operations are grossly inadequate. Deputy Commissioner , Shollay Davies Thanked the staff of the Bo Regional Office for the updates. The HQ is aware about some of the challenges highlighted as they cut across all regional offices. The Commission has always considered means of building the capacity of staff, including regional staff, but the Commission does not have the luxury of getting the required funds, which do not always come on time. The Commission, through the intervention of the Commissioner, received its first quarter allocation only recently. In the area of the office land, the Commission will soon engage the Ministry of Lands to ensure its security. HQ is aware of the state of t he regional offices and will soon act to uplift them. The Commission has been aware of the challenges of internet, which is why, modems were provided in the past, but the Commission just realized that they are n ot too effective; but the Commission will loo k into these concerns. Commissioner’s message to ACC regional offices Please note that in order to avoid repetition, the Commissioner’s message to staff of the various regional offices will only appear here. The Commissioner thanked the staff for the warm welcome accorded him and the followings were highlights of his address to the staff: His meeting with staff of the regional offices is to assure them of his commitment and to ensure that they all take the fight against corruption very seriously. All s taff must work to ensure that corruption is reduced to the barest minimum, if not eradicate it. The regional offices should know that they have a very important role in curbing corruption.

37. 37  All desk top computers do not function properly. The computer at the A dm in section is almost obsolete . No laptop/har d drive supplied at the office. All laptops used here are personal.  Vehicle with registration number ADZ 462 is now obsolete .  There is need for additional security officer s at the office.  Consideration for i nternational training for staff .  S ome members of staff to be considered for up - grade /promotions.  I ncrement in salary (notch) should be considered.  R equest that leave all owances be paid immediately a staff proceeds on leave.  Request that a strong anti - virus be run ned on the co mputers to protect them from Virus infection.  Request for an additional photocopier, digital recorders and cameras. Deputy Commissioner Shollay Davies’ response to report by Regional Manager He t hanked the Regional Manager for giving a comprehensiv e report on operations at the offic e. He said , most of the challenges highlighted are similar to those of the other regional offices; but the problem with the vehicle needs urgent attention. He said one of the recommendations is for one of the vehicles at Headquarters to be assigned to the Sub - Kono Regional Office. He said , the Commission has received some funds from the Government which will soon be rolled out. He assured the Kono office that some of the other challenges will be addressed in due course. On the issue of the internet, the Deputy Commissioner said the office was working with Co ff e y International to fix the problem across all ACC offices, but that Coff e y International was no longer showing any interest. He said however , the issue would be lo oked into seriously. On the issue of the proposed training for Sitta, Mr Davies said sometimes foreign agencies would ask for nominations from which they would select those to benefit from the training. He made reference to a recent training in Egypt in wh ich two people were nominated but only one was selected by the Egyptian Embassy. He informed the staff that there was already a training plan developed by Coff e y International and the Commission would ensure that staff from all offices benefit whenever fu nds are available. On the issue of notches, the Deputy Commissioner said that, this has budgetary considerations outside the remit of the Commission.

7. 7 The Public Education Unit broadcast Thirty - Two (32) radio programmes . Other key activities of the unit include „Meet the School campaign‟, community meetings and customized meetings. The Unit also coordinates activities of the National Anti - Corruption Strategy, Systems and Processes Review Department and the Assets Declaration Unit. Challenges Achievements made by the Department do not take away challenges faced. But it is true that these bottlenecks can undermine its effectiveness and efficiency of service.  The Unit is under staffed. Onl y one personnel is in the Unit, who is the Senior Public Education Officer (SPEO). The Unit is seeking two Public Education Officers. There should be three Officers serving the Unit.  The Unit lacks proper sitting a ccommodation. Staff sit on bare wooden chairs.  No AC in the Unit.  The Office lacks mobile rechargeable portable speaker for outreach activities.  The Office lacks digital cameras .  The Office lacks internet facility .  The Office lacks a dictionary .  The Office lacks digital recorder . Ge neral Office Challenges  Effective Communication with HQ is still a challenge. Collaboration and planning between the regional office and HQ is weak as Regional Office is not consulted or involved.  No building of our own to host the regional office. The current building hosting the regional office is in dire need of refurbishment as no regular maintenance is done. Ownership of the building is also in question as it seems the Administration Department at Headquarters has been dealing with the wrong person .  No ele ctricity from the national grid following a fire incident at the office.  The piece of land owned by the office is facing threats of encroachment by the Winners Chapel Church.  The offic e lacks adequate furniture. Most of the staff seat in wooden cha irs for the over eight hours working day. The rooms are also hot in the afternoon hours as most of them lack air conditioners.  Comparatively, Regional Staff are underrepresented in training programmes.

35. 35  D ifficulty in sending our case files to H/Q for the attention of the Director I&I to peruse and advice for further lines of enquiries to be done .  Communication gap between the Region al Office and HQ .  Request made to various MDAs for the production of documents and vital information are slowly responded to.  Even when some staff of the said MDAs are invited to make statement, we encounter difficulties in getting them to do so. This ofte n slow s down the pace of investigation and even cause s vital evidence to be ta mpered with.  T he Unit also needs Two (2) additional Investigators as SIO A.B. Sesay will be leaving shortly on retirem ent leave on the 28th September, 2018.
