Sierra Leone’s President Julius Maada Bio Presides Over Swearing-In of Chief Justice, Reaffirms Judiciary as Pillar of Democracy

State House, Freetown – 20 December 2024 - His Excellency President Dr. Julius Maada Bio has presided over the swearing-in ceremony of the newly appointed Chief Justice, Mr. Komba Kamanda Esq., at State House. During the event, President Bio emphasized the judiciary's pivotal role as one of the strongest pillars of democracy in Sierra Leone.

The ceremony commenced with a declaration of purpose by the Secretary to the President, Dr. Emmanuel Gaima. He cited Section 135 (1) of the Constitution of Sierra Leone, 1991, which mandates that the President, acting on the advice of the Judicial and Legal Service Commission and with parliamentary approval, appoints the Chief Justice by warrant under his hand from among individuals qualified to serve as Justice of the Supreme Court.

In his address, the newly sworn-in Chief Justice, Mr. Komba Kamanda, expressed profound gratitude to President Bio for entrusting him with the responsibility of leading the judiciary. He underscored his commitment to serving with dedication, integrity, and respect for the rule of law.

“I acknowledge the weight of this office and assure you that I will uphold the principles of justice, fairness, and equality that form the bedrock of our legal system. The judiciary is a pillar of our democracy, and I am committed to ensuring its independence and impartiality, serving as a guardian of the rights and freedoms of all Sierra Leoneans and non-Sierra Leoneans,” he affirmed.

Acknowledging the challenges ahead, Chief Justice Kamanda noted that the country’s journey toward justice and equality remains on course. He pledged to collaborate with fellow justices and stakeholders to enhance access to justice, improve court efficiency, and ensure transparency and accountability in legal processes.

He further highlighted the critical role of the legal community, law enforcement, and civil society in the pursuit of justice. “I assure the citizens of Sierra Leone that their rights and liberties will be my foremost priority. I will strive to ensure that the judiciary remains a pillar of hope, where justice is not a privilege for the few but a right for all,” he pledged.

In his response, President Bio congratulated the new Chief Justice on his appointment, reiterating the judiciary’s indispensable role in safeguarding the nation’s democracy.

“You have described this role as a weighty challenge, and rightly so. I encourage the legal community to work together to address these challenges. The judiciary is crucial in all that we do,” the President stated.

He assured Chief Justice Kamanda of the government’s unwavering support in preserving the judiciary's independence and providing the necessary resources to strengthen the administration of justice.

“The independence of the judiciary is paramount, and all you have asked for will be granted to ensure that justice continues to prevail in Sierra Leone,” President Bio concluded.

The ceremony marked a significant milestone in the country’s ongoing efforts to uphold justice, fairness, and the rule of law, reaffirming the judiciary's central role in maintaining democracy and protecting the rights of all citizens.

*Sierra Leone’s President Julius Maada Bio Compensates Land Owners for Transformative Jembe Regional Hospital*

*Jembe, Bo District, 19th December, 2024* - In a historic move to elevate healthcare standards in Sierra Leone, President Julius Maada Bio has officially presented a cheque of 5 Million Leones (5 billion old Leones) to landowners in Jembe, marking the commencement of the construction of a state-of-the-art 300-bed Jembe Regional Hospital. This cutting-edge facility will be strategically located along the Bo/Kenema highway, transforming the area into a comprehensive medical campus featuring a medical school, pharmacy school, and nursing school. The project aims to centralize advanced medical training and healthcare services, creating a hub that is expected to attract domestic and international patients, thereby positioning Sierra Leone as a destination for medical tourism.

The hospital is designed to serve an estimated 1,000 patients daily, significantly enhancing access to healthcare for underserved communities while reducing the government’s annual $3 million expenditure on overseas medical treatments. By providing top-tier medical services locally, the Jembe Regional Hospital will not only improve healthcare outcomes but also boost the economy and create employment opportunities.

During the groundbreaking ceremony, Ambassador Tamba Lamina, Minister of Local Government, expressed gratitude to President Bio for his unwavering commitment to national development. “Thank you, Mr. President, for prioritizing the people of Jembe and Sierra Leone. This hospital is a monumental achievement with generational benefits. Your leadership cuts across all sectors, airports, bridges, ferries, and now healthcare. This initiative will greatly benefit our people, particularly in addressing health-related challenges,” he said.

Host Paramount Chief, Alfred Demby, welcomed President Bio on behalf of the Baoma Chiefdom, which comprises 106 towns and eight sections. He highlighted the chiefdom’s unanimous decision to allocate 1,000 acres of land for the project, emphasizing the landowners’ willingness to forgo their plantations for the greater good.

Councillor Maada Bundu reinforced this sentiment, stating, “We have given this land unconditionally for development. It is a sacrifice we make for the future of our children.”

Dr. Prince Harding, Chairman of the SLPP, a son of the soil, echoed these sentiments, commending President Bio’s vision for inclusive and indiscriminate development. “Your leadership is blind to divisions, both political and ethnic, and we urge you to continue on this path,” he remarked.

Minister of Health and Sanitation, Dr. Austin Demby, underscored the strategic importance of the Jembe Regional Hospital, noting that its central location would benefit both Kenema and Bo districts. “This hospital represents a bold vision for healthcare in Sierra Leone. Our doctors are excelling internationally, and this facility will serve as a home for them, reducing brain drain and fostering local expertise. Even our neighbors in Liberia have visited us to learn from our healthcare initiatives,” he stated.

Dr. Demby also highlighted recent accomplishments, including a 100% pass rate among Sierra Leonean doctors trained in Nigeria and successful partnerships with international health organizations. “This is a proud moment for all of us. The Jembe Regional Hospital will solidify our progress and pave the way for future achievements,” he added.

In his keynote address, President Bio emphasized the transformative potential of the project. “In ten years, Jembe will be unrecognizable. This hospital will be second only to Connaught Hospital in Freetown, catering to various medical disciplines and ailments. We are decentralizing healthcare to ensure that not everything is concentrated in Freetown. This facility will also house advanced training programs for our health workers,” he said.

The President also hinted at broader infrastructural plans for the region, including the potential construction of an international airport and the revival of railway services. “We want to bring back the glory of our past while building a brighter future. This hospital is part of a larger vision to improve the lives of our people,” he declared.

Highlighting the importance of education in national development, President Bio reaffirmed his government’s commitment to nurturing the next generation. “We want our children to achieve more than we have. Many of the doctors leading these initiatives were educated through our system. This is why we are investing heavily in both education and healthcare,” he stated.

President Bio concluded by appealing for community support and patience as his government works to deliver development across the nation. “This hospital will create employment, reduce infant mortality, and make pregnancy safer. Protect this project because it represents a brighter future for your children. Together, we will build a Sierra Leone that we can all be proud of,” he urged.

The ceremony was a momentous occasion, symbolizing a unified commitment to progress and a collective vision for a healthier, more prosperous Sierra Leone.

Is Dr. David Moinina Sengeh, the Right Fit to Lead the SLPP in 2028? A Rising Star Faces Grassroots Skepticism

BY: THE YOUNG GENERATION ELITE WING OF SLPP

As the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) considers its future in the years ahead, one name that has stirred intense discussion is Dr. David Moinina Sengeh, the current Chief Minister of Sierra Leone. Once hailed as an innovative leader in technology and governance, Sengeh now finds himself at the center of a heated debate: Is he the right choice to lead the SLPP in the 2028 presidential elections?

While some within the party view Sengeh as a fresh and capable face, a “new political kid” who brings international acclaim and academic brilliance to the table, others question his readiness to lead the party, let alone the country. For many long-time members, his rapid ascent in the political ranks is both a strength and a liability. With a limited grassroots support base, his critics argue that Sengeh is not yet seasoned enough to represent a party with deep historical roots and strong connections to its supporters.

A Political Newcomer in a Veteran's Arena

David Moinina Sengeh first stepped into the national spotlight less than seven years ago, appointed by President Julius Maada Bio as the Director of the Directorate of Science, Technology, and Innovation (DSTI). Known for his groundbreaking work in artificial intelligence and healthcare technologies, Sengeh quickly gained a reputation as an intelligent, forward-thinking leader. His international background and innovative ideas endeared him to Sierra Leone’s youth, a demographic looking for new opportunities in a rapidly changing world.

However, critics argue that his rise has been too rapid. Unlike established SLPP figures who have spent years building alliances and loyalty among local communities, Sengeh’s support base is primarily elite and urban. His connections to the grassroots, the bedrock of SLPP’s political strength, are seen as tenuous at best. To some, he represents a growing trend of "technocratic" leaders who may lack the political savviness needed to navigate the complex networks of Sierra Leone’s political landscape.

The SLPP’s Young Elite Wing Raises Concerns

Among Sengeh’s most vocal critics are members of SLPP’s young generation elite wing, who worry that his personal ambitions could fracture party unity. SLPP has long prided itself on being more than just a coalition of individuals—it is a party that strives to represent the collective will of its members across regions and generations. The young elite wing cautions against any “campism” or factions within the party, which they argue would only serve to weaken SLPP's strength in the lead-up to 2028.

In a recent statement, representatives of the youth wing expressed their disapproval of factionalism, saying that “SLPP should be for SLPP.” They argue that Sengeh’s supporters need to tread carefully to avoid creating internal divisions that would make the party vulnerable to opposition attacks. Specifically, they have condemned any perceived disrespect towards established SLPP leaders, including First Lady Dr. Fatima Maada Jabbie Bio, warning that this could alienate long-standing party loyalists.

Can Sengeh Unite a party he has almost Divided?

The central question now is whether Dr. Sengeh has the ability to rally a unified SLPP rather than splinter it. The party’s history is filled with figures who, despite internal disagreements, managed to hold together a wide coalition of interests. To become a viable candidate in 2028, Sengeh would need to demonstrate that he can bridge the gap between the elite urban supporters who admire his innovative thinking and the grassroots base that remains the party’s foundation.

Sengeh’s supporters argue that his background, innovative approach, and youthfulness are exactly what SLPP needs to remain relevant in a changing world. They see him as someone who could bring new energy to the party and appeal to younger voters who might otherwise feel disconnected from traditional politics. But others remain skeptical. Is innovation enough when what SLPP might need most is stability and cohesion?

Respect for Party Leaders: A Crucial Test of Loyalty

One of the most sensitive issues for Sengeh and his supporters is the criticism they have received for allegedly disrespecting long-time party figures, especially First Lady Dr. Fatima Maada Jabbie Bio. For many SLPP members, loyalty and respect for the party’s "stewards" are non-negotiable. The First Lady, who has become a powerful voice within the SLPP, commands significant influence and respect among the base, and any perceived slight against her risks alienating a substantial segment of the party’s loyalists.

The young elite wing has been clear: unity and respect must be the foundation of any leadership transition. They are urging Sengeh’s supporters to refrain from rhetoric that could be seen as undermining the party’s established leaders. This is a critical test for Sengeh himself—whether he can control his base, build bridges with established leaders, and demonstrate that he is committed to the values and legacy of the SLPP.

The Road Ahead for the SLPP

As SLPP looks towards 2028, the stakes could not be higher. With opposition forces preparing to mount a strong challenge, internal unity is essential if the party hopes to retain power. While Dr. David Moinina Sengeh offers a fresh perspective. His critics argue that now may not be the time for a new face without a proven grassroots network. They see him as a potential leader of the future, but question whether 2028 is too soon.

The decision will ultimately rest on whether Sengeh can build genuine support among SLPP’s grassroots, respect the legacy of established leaders, and prove himself not just as an innovator but as a unifier. In a country where political experience and grassroots connections often outweigh technocratic accomplishments, Sengeh’s path to leadership is filled with both promise and potential pitfalls.

Conclusion

The SLPP stands at a crossroads. Will it take a chance on a young, dynamic figure who promises a new vision, or will it prioritize unity and experience over ambition? The coming months will be a test of both Dr. Sengeh’s political acumen and his commitment to party values. For now, SLPP’s young elite wing has made their position clear: the party needs unity, respect, and a candidate who can lead without dividing. Whether Sengeh can be that leader remains an open question.

Breaking News

Sierra Leone has been cleared from age-related allegations after the country's football association protested an earlier decision that claimed four players were over the age of 17. The association asserted that they had conducted MRI scans at a globally certified institution, which they believed could not have yielded inaccurate results. In response, the West Africa Football Union and CAF agreed to seek a second opinion, which ultimately cleared two of the four players as eligible. As a result, Sierra Leone now falls within the acceptable limit of having a minimum of two over-aged players.

The shoot stars will continue in the tournament.
