Parliament of Sierra Leone, which comprises members from both
the ruling All Peoples Congress(APC) and the main opposition Sierra Leone
Peoples Party (SLPP) has on Monday 22nd August 2016, engaged the Sierra Leone
Police, Sierra Leone Non -Governmental Organizations (SLANGO), the Ministry of
Finance and Economic Development (MOFED) and the Sierra Leone Roads Safety
Authority (SLRSA) on vehicles using NGO registration plates.
The Majority leader, Hon. Ibrahim Bundu, highlighted several
correspondences in which the police, on the one hand, and SLRSA, which is
responsible to register NGO vehicles, should have acted since 2010.
The Chief Whip of Parliament, Hon. Claude Kamanda, quoting
the revised NGO policy of 2009, pointed out that any vehicle owned by an NGO
should be clearly marked; noting that section 2.7.4 states that all equipment
and asset transfers should be done by NGOs, with the involvement of MOFED and
SLANGO. He regretted that many NGOs have flouted this policy.
