ABOUT US>>>The Commission

The National Telecommunications Commission (NATCOM) was established by an Act of Parliament in 2006, but only became fully operational in April 2007, when its senior management team assumed office. The foundational Commission which was constituted in 2006 was dissolved and replaced by the extant Commission at the dawn of President Koroma's tenure in 2008.

The newly reconstituted NATCOM led by Arc. Siray Alpha Timbo upon assuming office started in earnest the process of restructuring of the Commission by providing capacity building opportunities for the Members and Staff of the Commission; addressing the technical and monitoring needs of the Commission; setting a sound legal and regulatory framework; reviewing the licence conditions of new and existing operators and service providers; and providing an interactive forum (The Consumer Parliament) for the Consumers and Service Providers to meet with the Regulator and discuss issues pertinent to the industry.

The major policy direction of the Commission is the establishment of an effective, sound and dynamic licensing regime that is responsive to industry demands; and the regulation of the activities of telecoms operators aiming at promoting efficiency and fair competition; ensuring expansion in investment in the sector; and adopting rules and procedures that guarantee and protect the rights of Consumers or users of telecoms services.
