Political Affairs Ministry Can Boast Of Two Vehicles
Permanent Secretary of
the Ministry of Political Affairs Israel B. K. Jigba has said that the ministry
has two vehicles which are used by the minister and his deputy.
He made this statement
at the budget hearing of the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development
(MOFED) budget hearing.
He said that the
ministry does not have vehicles to do their work and when the Kabala incident occurred,
the director had to use the Deputy Minister’s vehicle to go there.
He explained that the
ministry occupied 9th floor of Youyi building with only four rooms where they
are going through huge constrains because the four rooms are not enough for
them.
He said that the
ministry does not have any donor support and that the Africa Peer Review Mechanism
(APRM) is presently under the ministry.
According to him, the ministry is well
structured and that they served as the engine for sustainable peace and socioeconomic
development in Sierra Leone.
Edward Koroma from
Transparency International said they are not feeling or seeing the impact the
APRM is creating in the country unless paying rent and staffs salary.
In another development
the Sierra Leone prison Department presented their 2017 budget to MOFED.
