The nominee for the position of Director-General of the National Social Security and Insurance Trust (NASSIT), Chernor Mamoud Jalloh, on Thursday appeared before Parliament’s Committee on Appointments and the Public Service for scrutiny as part of the constitutional confirmation process for presidential nominees.
Mr Jalloh was among several nominees subjected to public hearings, during which Members of Parliament interviewed him under oath to assess his competence, experience, and suitability to lead the country’s national social security institution.
The hearing formed part of Parliament’s oversight responsibility in reviewing appointments made by the President to key public offices before recommendations are submitted to the full House for approval or otherwise.
During the proceedings, MPs engaged the Director-General-designate on issues relating to his professional background, leadership experience, and preparedness to manage NASSIT’s operations and strengthen the institution’s financial governance.
Mr Jalloh is a Chartered Accountant with more than 15 years of professional experience in Sierra Leone and Europe, with expertise in financial management, accounting, audit, internal controls, project management, and strategic leadership.
Before his nomination, he served as Manager of Finance and Accounting at Yamaha Music Europe GmbH in Germany, where he led a team of 32 finance professionals overseeing financial operations across more than 20 European countries.
In that role, he supervised consolidated financial reporting under German GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), strengthened internal control systems, and contributed to the implementation of SAP S/4HANA as part of the company’s global transformation programme.
He previously worked as Credit Controller at Yamaha Music Europe, where he developed debt recovery strategies and improved credit management processes.
Prior to relocating to Europe, Mr Jalloh served at Guaranty Trust Bank (SL) Limited as Unit Head of Systems and Controls, providing leadership in internal audit, risk management, regulatory compliance, and corporate governance.
He coordinated audit activities, monitored internal controls across the bank’s branch network, and reported on operational and risk management issues to the Audit Committee.
Parliament’s Appointments Committee is expected to deliberate on his nomination and subsequently submit its report and recommendations to the full House of Parliament for consideration.
