DIASPORA POWER UNLEASHED: HOW SIERRA LEONEANS ABROAD ARE SHAPING POLICY, INVESTMENT, AND NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT (FEATURING THE USA OVERSTAYERS COMMITTEE, AIRPORT TAX DEBATE, AND UK INVESTMENT DRIVE)
👆🏾Listen to the VOS Social Media Review show, dated OCTOBER 12, 2025
Join the Voice of Salone (VOS) Network as we dive into the hot topics dominating social media this week — from the newly formed Special Committee to address Sierra Leonean overstayers in the USA to the controversial $25 airport security tax and the upcoming Diaspora Investment Conference in the UK.
We unpack:
💼 The composition and legal mandate of the tripartite committee (Foreign Affairs, NCRA, Immigration)
✈️ Who should bear the cost of repatriation and what it means for Sierra Leoneans abroad
🏛️ The airport tax debate — accountability, community development, and transparency
🌍 The Diaspora Investment Agenda — what was promised in 2018 vs. what has been achieved
🧠 Mobilizing skills, knowledge, and business networks of Sierra Leoneans abroad for national growth
Tune in as we ask:
👉 Is the new committee a blessing or a curse for overstayers?
👉 Are air passengers being overtaxed without visible benefits?
👉 Can diaspora engagement truly transform Sierra Leone’s economy?
