According to the Auditor General report 2022, from their review of the Agency’s recruitment policies, they observed that 17 personnel were recruited during the year under review but that the Agency did not follow the appropriate recruitment procedures.
This means it did not make the process open or competitive and transparent as was evidenced by the fact that there were no relevant supporting documents like advertisement, application letters and invitation letters to attend interviews to justify that the correct procedures were
followed
The Auditors therefore recommended that the Human Resource Management make available to the ASSL the relevant documentary evidence in support of the 17 personnel recruited
And the issue remained unsolved since the finding was not responded to
The challenges the Auditors discovered were the increase in the financial cost involved in the monitoring of the safely of petrol stations and their environments.
Also there were inadequate facilities for the storage of petroleum products and few dealers (NP,Conex) of petroleum products in Freetown and none in the regions.
It was recommended therefore that the Executive Chairman engage the relevant stakeholders to ensure that the above challenges are addressed in line with international best practices and the evidence of such engagement be forwarded to the ASSL.
