A cross section of Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) including the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry Health, the National Revenue Authority (NRA), NASSIT are very much impressed with the transformative drive of the National Public Procurement Authority (NPPA) under the distinguished leadership of the Chief Executive Officer, Fodie J. Konneh.
Impeccable sources from MDAs say NPPA stands tall as the beacon and guardian of transparency and efficiency in the allocation of public resources.
At its helm is CEO Fodie Konneh, a figure revered, not only within the confines of the Authority, but also by MDAs, for his exemplary performance and visionary leadership. Konneh’s journey to the leadership of NPPA was not one of coincidence, but through his dedication and unwavering commitment to the principles of good governance. With a background in procurement, he brought a wealth of expertise to his role, earning the trust and respect of colleagues and stakeholders alike.
Under his leadership, the NPPA is undergoing transformation, streamlining processes and implementing robust oversight mechanisms to prevent corruption and ensure fair competition among vendors bidding for government contracts. His leadership style, characterized by a rare blend of firmness and empathy, fosters a culture of accountability and integrity within the Authority.
MDAs hail him as a beacon of integrity, a champion of ethical governance in an era often marred by scandals and impropriety. His collaborative approach to working with MDAs, coupled with his unwavering commitment to the public good, have earned him accolades from top government officials and civil society alike.
As the CEO of NPPA, Fodie Konneh understands the weight of his responsibilities. He knows that every decision he makes has far-reaching implications for the welfare of the country and its citizenry. With this in mind, the CEO approaches his duties with due diligence and determination, never wavering in his commitment to upholding the highest standards of transparency and accountability.

In his strategic moves to take the Authority to another level last week, the NPPA Boss met with the UNDP Resident Representative, Frederick Ampiah, to strengthen partnership for transformative institutional development in Sierra Leone. They also discussed leveraging UNDP’s development service delivering opportunities to optimize public sector resources.
