Sierra Leone's Electricity Corruption and the Lebanon Connection

In this episode, we continue to examine the privatization of Sierra Leone's National Power Authority (NPA) in 2011 and the history of the Western Area Power Generation Project. We discuss details of transactions between various agencies of the Sierra Leone government and multinational corporations like Blue Flare Power Ltd (BVI), TCQ Power Ltd, Copperbelt Energy Corporation Africa (CECA Sierra Leone) Ltd, and Milele Energy. We point out the involvement of the World Bank Group, and other development agencies in these transaction, and we begin to highlight the role of Lebanon as an operational conduit for these corporate transactions. This episode is part of the VOICE FROM EXILE commentary series of the Africanist Press.
