Public Sector Reform Unit (PSRU), on behalf of the Tripartite Steering Committee, has formally presented the Management and Functional Review (MFR) Reports of key Electoral Management Bodies (EMBs) to the Chief Minister, Dr. David Moinina Sengeh. The institutions reviewed include the Sierra Leone Broadcasting Corporation (SLBC), Political Parties Registration Commission (PPRC), Independent Media Commission (IMC), and the Independent Police Complaints Board (IPCB).
Presenting the reports, Mr. Sulaiman Phoray-Musa, Director of PSRU, highlighted key findings and recommendations aimed at strengthening institutional efficiency, governance, and service delivery within the EMBs. The reviews were conducted in line with recommendations of the Tripartite Committee Report, which was earlier submitted to His Excellency President Julius Maada Bio.
Speaking on behalf of the Chief Minister’s Office, the Permanent Secretary, Mr. Lamin, recalled that one of the major recommendations of the Tripartite Report was the conduct of management and functional reviews of electoral and governance institutions. He noted that the purpose of the meeting was to formally submit the findings to the Chief Minister, in his capacity as Chair of the Tripartite Steering Committee, to guide implementation.
Minister of Public Administration and Political Affairs, Hon. Amara Kallon, reaffirmed that the exercise was undertaken following a Cabinet resolution mandating the Ministry, through PSRU, to lead the reviews. He assured the Chief Minister that the reports went through rigorous scrutiny and broad consultations.
In his remarks, Chief Minister Dr. David Moinina Sengeh described the event as a significant milestone in public sector reform and national civic responsibility. He emphasized that the Tripartite recommendations address long-standing institutional challenges and are critical to building resilient institutions capable of responding to current and future governance needs.
The event concluded with a symbolic handover of the MFR Reports to the Chief Minister by Hon. Amara Kallon and Mr. Sulaiman Phoray-Musa.
The exercise directly supports President Bio’s Big Five Game Changers, particularly Pillar Five: Transforming the Public Sector Architecture, by strengthening institutional effectiveness, accountability, and democratic governance.
