Urgent Ultimatum Issued by Sierra Leone Disabled Community to NaCSA For Unpaid Funds

Alusine, the head of Sierra Leone’s disabled community at Freetown Cotton tree, has issued a stern three-week ultimatum to the Sierra Leone National Commission for Social Actions (NaCSA). Alusine directed his appeal to Jimmy Batilo Songa, the Deputy Commissioner of NaCSA, reminding him of the commitment made by the organization to disburse funds to the disabled community every three months.

Expressing frustration over the prolonged halt in receiving financial support, Alusine highlighted that NaCSA had pledged to release funds to them in December. However, to their dismay, no payments were made, and the disabled community was left without any explanation for the delay.

Alusine’s impassioned plea to Deputy Commissioner Batilo underscored the urgency of the matter. He stressed, “My request is going to Batilo, please don’t forget, you promised to pay us after every three months, and you were supposed to pay us in December, but you refused. Please, I am giving you three weeks; if not, I am coming to your office.”

Alarmed by the lack of financial assistance, Alusine drew attention to information gathered from radio stations, suggesting that the funds earmarked for the disabled community were indeed available. He urged Deputy Commissioner Batilo to engage in negotiations with his colleagues to expedite the release of the funds owed to the disabled individuals.

The disabled community’s ultimatum reflects their growing frustration and desperation for the funds promised to them by NaCSA. This development raises concerns about the organization’s ability to fulfill its commitments to vulnerable communities and calls into question the transparency and communication between NaCSA and those it serves.

As the three-week deadline looms, all eyes are on NaCSA to respond to the urgent plea of the disabled community, ensuring that the promised financial support is delivered without further delay.
