This medium has been told that SALCAB was dismantled at a time President Bio had told the whole nation and the wider international community that SALCAB was the most “profitable” State-Owned enterprise in Sierra Leone.

This was disclosed in 2021 during President Bio State opening address in the Chambers of Parliament.

This medium has also been told that at the time SALCAB was managing the fiber optic, the country, in seldom, experienced such problems.

Sources say the Leader of Govt Business & Dr. Abass Bundu muzzled Ibrahim Tawa Conteh and thus undermined the work of the Parliamentary Committee on Transparency and Accountability. The effort by the MPs in parliament was done just to see the Zoodlabs deal goes through.

According topublic outcry the internet connectivity, under Zoodlabs, has become problematic which leaves members of public with  tongue wagging regarding the poor Internet in the country.

i the provinces, citizens have lambasted government for their negligence to improve the quality service delivery on internet connectivity.

Many communities across Sierra Leone have suffered serious internet problems. Many have attributed the problems encountered to internet slowness due to negligence by authorities of government and Zoodlab private sector company.

Others have said Zoodlabs Company is one of the companies that only bent on pocketing people’s monies rather than seeking the interests of the masses.

May internet users have escalated concerns over the frequent internet connectivity issues plaguing Sierra Leone since technology and smart utility infrastructure company, Zoodlabs, has assumed control of the internet “gateway.” The recent disruptions have prompted calls for an urgent investigation into the company’s management and service reliability.

On Sunday, August 4, 2024, Zoodlabs experienced a significant outage that lasted nearly four hours, severely impacting data services, international voice calls, roaming, and other operational services. According to a network’s incident notice, the problem originated from Zoodlabs’ end and was eventually resolved, but not before causing a widespread inconvenience for internet users in Sierra Leone.
