The Professionals In Support of the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development (PISAA) has praised Dewitt vonBallmoos, the Director-General of the National Social Security and Welfare Corporation (NASSCORP), for his recent election as head of the Technical Commission on Contribution Collection and Compliance of the International Social Security Association (ISSA).
The group emphasized that vonBallmoos’ election was expected, attributing it to his tireless efforts in the social security sector and his visionary leadership over the years. They noted that the Technical Commission on Contribution Collection and Compliance is an excellent fit for vonBallmoos, given its focus on safeguarding social security funding sources and addressing issues that extend beyond mere contribution collection—such as macroeconomic, technical, and operational questions.
PISAA highlighted vonBallmoos’ extensive experience and qualifications, referencing his many years of service with NASSCORP and his unmatched achievements during that time. The group expressed confidence that he is well-prepared to take on this new role effectively. They reiterated that vonBallmoos’ commitment and dedication have significantly advanced the social security sector in Liberia. Under his leadership, NASSCORP has consistently adapted to modern transformations while upholding its foundational principles and best practices.
The group recalled that under vonBallmoos, NASSCORP has made significant investments in various infrastructures, including real estate, hospitals, and agriculture, as well as acquiring shares in several banks. NASSCORP has also participated in national development initiatives, such as contributing to low-cost housing projects and constructing the Jahmale Diagnostics Center to enhance local medical facilities.
Research conducted by the professionals revealed that NASSCORP now manages assets valued at approximately US$141 million, reinforcing their belief that vonBallmoos will excel in his role at ISSA’s Contribution Collection and Compliance Commission. They characterized him as an honest and fair leader.
Finally, the group congratulated DG vonBallmoos on his election and vowed to support him throughout his three-year term. The Professionals In Support of the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development (PISAA) is a coalition of young professionals promoting the Boakai administration, its policies, and initiatives for development, while also working to expose corrupt officials. This group was established shortly after the validation of the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County.
