Comment on jobs created (domestic)
the jobs provided by London Mining to Sierra Leoneans are not only extremely limited but without any security guaranties. Workers are hired and fired at will, sometimes even without benefit. While much is expected from the local workers who are mostly employed as laborers, drivers, cleaners, launderers and some other menial jobs in terms of performance, wages paid to them are incommensurate. And London Mining is yet to show any commitments to the requirement of transferring technology to Sierra Leoneans – so as to enable them to take over from the so-called foreign expatriates.
