More Heads to Roll

President Juluis Maada Bio is in high desperation to fulfill his manifesto promises as he has four more years in office in preparation of the 2028 general elections.

This medium gathered from unconfirmed sources that the sacked ministers include the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Internal Affairs and Minister of the Western Region are the victims of President Bio’s Sledge hammer in his latest resufflement which fell on them. More heads are expected to roll.

This Medium cannot also confirm who are the next ministers (non-performers) to face the exit door. Some citizens are of the opinion that the non-performance of some ministers is one of the factors responsible for the economic hardship citizens are compel to go through and the country’s slow pace of tangible development.

One school of thought says if President Bio does not take a decisive action to purge the rotten eggs in his government, he will not leave any positive legacy behind for Sierra Leoneans to remember him after his presidency rather dissatisfied citizens will continue to negatively critize his administration until he does the needful as he is the President of the Republic of Sierra Leone.

Some citizens are of the opinion that many of the ministers are only interested in travelling overseas and collect huge amount of per diem from tax payers’ money, and as a result their focus is shifted away from serving the people while they deeply concentrate in enriching themselves at the expense of the citizens.

In another development, political pundits are asking the question why within six years President Julius Maada Bio’s administration, has seen five different Attorney Generals sacked. The political pundits are also of the opinion about the stability of the government’s legal leadership and its impact on the country’s legal and judicial reforms.

They further suggest there are challenges in aligning the presidency’s vision with the office’s legal strategies. Other critics argue that such instability could hinder continuity in policymaking, delay key judicial reforms, and weaken public trust in the justice system. However, supporters of the Bio-led administration claim that these changes reflect a commitment to accountability, as underperforming officials are replaced to ensure progress in governance and legal affairs.

Observers are now closely watching to see if these latest appointments will change the narrative in the governance structure and the new appointees will deliver to the people of Sierra Leone.

Indeed, it is the prerogative of the President to fire and hire ministers.
