In his response, the Director General commended the judiciary for its important role in adjudicating NASSIT-related cases through the Social Security Court. He highlighted the significance of the court in promoting compliance with social security legislation and ensuring that employers and institutions meet their statutory obligations to remit contributions on behalf of their employees.
Mr. Jalloh emphasised the importance of sustained cooperation between NASSIT and the judiciary in strengthening compliance, upholding the rule of law, and safeguarding the social security rights of workers. He reaffirmed the Trust’s commitment to working with the judiciary to ensure that institutions are held accountable for non-compliance with their statutory obligations, as provided by law.

Continued collaboration is essential to ensuring compliance and protecting the rights of workers,” the Director General stated.
He further expressed his commitment to maintaining regular engagement with the Chief Justice to seek legal guidance where necessary and strengthen institutional cooperation in the enforcement of social security laws.
The courtesy call underscores the importance of a strong working relationship between NASSIT and the judiciary in promoting compliance, accountability, and the effective administration of social security in Sierra Leone.
