The Executive Director of the National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA), Ansu Dulleh, has vowed to restore sanity at the institution. The NDMA Executive Director stated that since taking over the institution as head, he has been working tirelessly to restore the lost image of the agency. According to him, when he took over the agency from the past administration, everything at the institution was disorganized. The Executive Director boosted that today under his watch, within less than six months period there have been lots of reforms at the agency.
He made the statement on Wednesday, August 7, 2024 when he appeared on the OK FM afternoon show in Monrovia. According to him, during the past administration employees were only going to sign in and at the end go back home without doing any work. Executive Director Dulleh proudly announced that today under his watch, employees at the agency are happily going to work in time and actively working in their respective offices. He stated that currently, they are working with the Ministry of Transport and Public Works, having citizens informed about the danger of building on swamp lands. According to him, his institution is also working with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on this matter. Executive Director Dulleh disclosed that the UN Women, one of their good partners for the past time, has been able to provide the NDMA staffers capacity building training. He added that today, the budget of the institution has increased because of his laboring power with the office of the President and that of members of the National Legislature. Executive Director Dulleh also said nothing will prevent him from doing the right thing to restore the lost image of the agency. He also refuted allegation of carrying his tribal people at the NDMA to work. According to him, such information on the social media that he is taking his tribal people at the agency to work is false, misleading and far from the reality. The Executive Director explained that they have been very much proactive in making interventions to disasters taking place across the country. Executive Director Dulleh reaffirmed his commitment of working to promote President Joseph N. Boakai government Arrest Agenda.
