Sylvia Blyden Accuses Ady Macauley of Receiving Secret Payments from SLPP Government
Former Minister and senior All People’s Congress (APC) member, Dr. Sylvia Olayinka Blyden OOR, has publicly challenged fellow APC stalwart Ady Macauley Esq. to clarify allegations surrounding alleged secret payments from the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) government and the status of a reported criminal case filed against him.
In a strongly worded Facebook post dated 17 December 2025, Dr. Blyden accused Macauley of allegedly receiving “hundreds and hundreds of millions of Leones” from the administration of President Julius Maada Bio. She claimed the funds were reportedly paid as a severance package but noted that, unlike similar government payments that are typically made public, the alleged transaction was not disclosed.
Dr. Blyden questioned why neither President Bio nor Macauley publicly acknowledged the payment, arguing that the alleged secrecy raises serious concerns about transparency and accountability.
