  1. FOCUS ON SIERRA LEONE:15 March 2022.

    President Bio's indefinite suspension of the auditor general in Sierra Leone was unconstitutional. And setting up his handpicked investigation team to investigate her on misconduct is equally unconstitutional.

    Any professional organisation has its own disciplinary procedures in place to investigate its employees on misconduct. I believe the Sierra Leone audit commission should have known if the auditor general Mrs Lara Taylor-Pearce has breached its code of conduct. Where this was the case, the organisation would have decided to suspend her from duty whilst they conduct an investigation.

    There are two types of professional misconducts.

    Generally, both are improper behaviours that are incompatible with the rules of the employment.

    A gross misconduct,however is a much severe and unacceptable behavior that can often leads to a summary dismissal. But it is usually the professional body, in the case of Mrs Lara Taylor-Pearce, the Sierra Leone audit commission was the appropriate authority to investigate her of any improper conduct by invoking it disciplinary procedures and not the head of state.

    There are so much irregularities in the governance system of Sierra Leone.

EU Budget Support Delay: Government Rejects Link to Judicial Case, Clarifies Reason for 2026 Disbursement Shift

Government Clarifies EU Budget Support Disbursement to Sierra Leone Note: According to the Information and Civic Education Minister.  The Government of Sierra Leone has clarified reports linking the European Union’s 2026 budget-support disbursement to ongoing discussions between Sierra Leone and the Kingdom of the Netherlands on judicial cooperation. According to the Government, the European Commission formally communicated its decision regarding the 2026 disbursement in July. The reasons provided, the Government said, related to the timing of Sierra Leone’s request to amend the Financing Agreement and the resulting difficulty of completing the required processes within the 2026 reporting cycle. As a result, the European Commission proposed rescheduling the 2026 and 2027 disbursements to 2027 and 2028 respectively, with the targets for the 2027 disbursement already agreed. The Government acknowledged that the postponement of the 2026 disbursement represents a setback, b...

Musa Tarawalie and the SLPP: What Could Be Behind the Growing Political Tensions?

Why Musa Tarawalie May Be Facing Friction Within the SLPP Opinion Note: This article represents my personal opinion and interpretation of recent political developments. It should not be taken as established fact or as a definitive account of the reasons behind the situation involving Hon. Musa Tarawalie and the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP). The question of why Hon. Musa Tarawalie appears to be facing difficulties within the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) requires an understanding of the broader political calculations ahead of the 2028 general elections. In my view, the SLPP is determined to retain political power in 2028, and there have been indications of deliberate strategies aimed at achieving that objective through democratic and relatively smooth political processes. One of the arguments supporting this view is President Julius Maada Bio’s public assertion that, in Sierra Leone’s democratic political history, no political party has successfully won three...
