Minister of Public Administration and Political Affairs, Amara Kallon, has revealed that the Government of Sierra Leone is planning to provide vehicles and housing for public servants across the country.
He said the ministry recently signed a MoU with the Economic and Commercial Counselling Centre of the Sierra Leone Embassy in Guangzhou, China (ECCE-G) to deliver low-cost housing and electric cars on loan to civil servants, an initiative he said reflects President Julius Maada Bio’s commitment to strengthening the public sector for effective service delivery.
Kallon outlined key reforms to revamp the public sector,highlighting the establishment of the first-ever Public Service Policy and Act, designed to coordinate and strengthen the entire public service in Sierra Leone.
The upcoming constitution, he noted, will include a new chapter dedicated to the Public Service, with the first Public Service Act expected to be finalised by the end of 2025. He further disclosed the signing of an agreement with Humnce, a local IT firm, to develop a transformative digital Human Resource Hub.
This hub he said will digitise staff attendance, performance appraisals, transfers, and promotions, replacing manual systems with a more efficient, transparent, and accountable structure.
Minister Kallon also disclosed that Sierra Leone will host over 700 Human Resource professionals and experts from across Africa and the Global South at the Bintumani Conference Center between 4th and 6th November 2025.
