The Professionals In Support of ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development (PISAA) has rained praises on the Director General of the National Social Security and Welfare Corporation (NASSCORP), Dewitt vonBallmoos, for his ascendency as head of the Technical Commission on Contribution Collection and Compliance of the International Social Security Association (ISSA).
The Professionals said DG vonBallmoos’ election came as no surprise, noting that it is due to his tireless effort in the social security sector and the visionary leadership he has exhibited over the years.
They noted that the Technical Commission on Contribution Collection and Compliance is a perfect suiter for DG vonBallmoos, especially with its responsibility being related to social security funding sources and their safeguarding, and dealing with issues likely to be of interest beyond the scope of contribution collection, including the macroeconomic, technical and operational questions arising from these issues.
According to the group, vonBallmoos comes to the position with a wealth of experience and qualification, recalling his lengthy years of services to NASSCORP and his unrivaled achievements over the years. The group expressed optimism that the NASSCORP boss is up to the tax and prepared to serve in the new capacity.
The professionals said they are not surprised at vonBallmoos’ election, as he has proved to be dedicated and committed to what he does, which has elevated, expanded and decentralized the social security sector of Liberia. “Under vonBallmoos leadership, NASSCORP has stood the test of time in meeting up with modern transformation, upholding the fundamental principles of its establishment, and upholding best practices,” PISAA noted.
The group recalled that NASSCORP, under the leadership of Dewitt vonBallmoos, has invested in several infrastructures, including real estate, hospitals, agriculture, and obtaining shares in various banks. “NASCORP has also been involved into national development initiatives, such as contributions to low-cost housing projects and the construction of the Jahmale Diagnostics Center, aimed at enhancing local medical facilities,” the professionals added.
Research conducted by the professionals has revealed that NASSCORP now oversees an asset valued at approximately US$141 million, maintaining that vonBallmoos will do well at ISSA’s Contribution Collection and Compliance Commission. They described him as an honest and fair leader.
The group then congratulated DG vonBallmoos for his election, and vowed to stand by him throughout his three-year term.
