BRAC Liberia CEO Warns While Celebrating Top Staff
Monrovia, Liberia – The CEO of BRAC Liberia Microfinance Company Ltd., Dyson Mandivenga, issued a strong warning against fraudulent conduct within the company while commending staff members for their outstanding performance in 2025.
At the BRAC Liberia Best Performance Award 2025 ceremony, which was held on Saturday, April 4, 2026, at Riverside Beach along Hotel Africa Road, Mandivenga emphasised that every employee still needs to have integrity.
Hundreds of employees from all around the nation came together to celebrate accomplishments and honour excellence at the event, which had as its theme “Reaching Every Corner, Empowering Youth and Women.” Mandivenga stated that the organization will not accept fraud or any other type of financial malfeasance, even as he acknowledged the commitment of staff members.
“I don’t want to dismiss people. It’s not in me to fire people. But lately my hand has been signing dismissal letters,” he told the gathering.
He warned that a few individuals engaging in dishonest practices could undermine the collective achievements of the organization. “I don’t want a few people to spoil the excellent work that the rest of you are doing,” he stressed.
Mandivenga reiterated BRAC Liberia’s strict stance on fraud, noting that any staff member found guilty would face immediate dismissal without hesitation. “I will not tolerate fraud. I put zero tolerance to fraud,” he declared. “Any issue to do with fraud, I will not hesitate. I will sign off and we take you out.”
Despite the strong warning, the CEO expressed confidence in the integrity and professionalism of the majority of the workforce. “When I look at your faces, I see people who are honest and dedicated to their work,” he said, urging employees to spread the message of accountability among their peers.
He commended staff for consistently exceeding performance targets, describing their contributions as vital to the organization’s growth. “I’m very, very proud of the entire team,” Mandivenga noted. “Each year we challenge you with targets, but you exceed them.”
He encouraged employees to recognize and take pride in their achievements, assuring them of management’s continued support. “It’s very important that you credit yourselves for the good work that you’ve been doing over the years,” he added.
Mandivenga stated in his speech that the Board of Directors of the organization has approved a Staff Loan Scheme with the goal of enhancing staff welfare. He clarified that branch-level employees, such as managers, credit officers, service staff, drivers, and accountants, will be the primary focus of the effort.
“The staff loan scheme has actually been approved by the board, and this year we are going to work on the modalities of how it will be implemented,” he disclosed.
Mandivenga also disclosed intentions to launch a staff wage advance scheme, which will be available to all workers if regulations are finalized. He also addressed worries about the company’s health insurance provider, pointing out that management is revising the agreement in response to conflicting employee input.
“Some are complaining that they are not serving you well, while others say they are doing fine,” he said, adding that a survey will be conducted by the end of June to guide decision-making.
The CEO also stressed the value of employee well-being, encouraging workers to take their yearly leave and pushing managers to make sure that schedules are appropriate. “There is no one who can work throughout the year without taking a break,” he said.
Additionally, Mandivenga promised staff members that future personnel moves will be managed in a more organised and thoughtful way, with sufficient warning and logistical assistance. However, he reminded employees that their job contracts allow them to work wherever in Liberia.
The CEO described the beneficiaries’ transition as a strategic objective and emphasized the significance of combining BRAC’s Adolescent Girls Initiative (AIM) with its microfinance services. “The transition of AIM participants to microfinance is non-negotiable,” he emphasized.
He pointed out that when it comes to effectively transferring AIM members into financial services, BRAC Liberia is currently at the top of the microfinance sector.
