Freetown Mayor Raises Concern Over Transfer of City Council Finance Officer

The Mayor of Freetown City Council has expressed serious concern over the timing of the proposed transfer of the Council’s Finance Officer, warning that the move could disrupt critical year-end financial operations at the municipality.

In a letter dated December 24, 2025, and addressed to the Executive Secretary of the Local Government Service Commission (LGSC), the Mayor reacted to an earlier directive instructing the Freetown City Council (FCC) Finance Officer to hand over his position to the Pujehun District Finance Officer on December 30, 2025.

The LGSC letter, dated December 23, 2025, reportedly warned that failure to comply would result in a three-month suspension without salary.
