Sam Peter Jallah

Sam Peter Jallah is a Bomi County District 3 Representative in Liberia who has recently spoken out about the country's inadequate benefits from its extractive industries. During a Liberia Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (LEITI) engagement, he highlighted that only about 3% of the revenue from concession companies like Bea Mountain reaches the government, despite the significant profits being generated. Jallah advocates for a reevaluation of revenue sharing practices, urging the need for policies to be guided by technical expertise rather than political influence, to better harness Liberia's vast natural resources for the benefit of its citizens.
