In a development that has sparked excitement across the police force, rice contractor VIP officially commenced nationwide distribution of rice to the Sierra Leone Police.
Police officers in various parts of the country have been seen in jubilant mood as the long-awaited rice supply begins to reach various stations and barracks.
The resumption comes after a prolonged halt in the monthly rice provisions, which was reportedly due to substantial arrears allegedly owed by the government to the contractors. While it remains unclear whether the outstanding payments have been fully settled, the return of VIP to the distribution chain is being celebrated by officers as a welcome relief.
