Sierra Leone: President Bio Reinstates Minister Under Suspension

President Maada Bio has on Thursday June 11, 2020 reinstated Mr. Abu Abu Abdulai Koroma as the Resident Minister of Northern Province.

It could be recalled that on Sunday May 10, 2020, President Bio suspended the Resident Minister North, Abu Abu Koroma from office indefinitely for unacceptable conduct following his remarks in a WhatsApp video that he would give orders for police  to shoot and kill lawless youths.  According to the President his suspension of the Minister was because his public remarks misrepresented the position of the government and put his administration into disrepute.   

“I write to inform you that it has pleased His Excellency the President to reinstate you as Resident Minister, Northern Province, with immediate effect,” the Secretary to the President, Julius F. Sandy stated in a letter on Thursday.
