Latest Update on Dennis Sandy – Minister of Works And Public Assets

The Ministry of Information and Civic Education has confirmed that Dr. Dennis Sandy remains the Minister of Works and Public Assets, debunking widespread rumors of his dismissal.
The clarification follows a week of internal conflict and public protest at the Ministry.
Staff at the Ministry of Works staged a strike on Monday, calling for the minister’s immediate removal. The protest was led by Principal Surveyor Lawrence Dauda Gbaya, who accused Dr. Sandy of abuse of office, corruption, and unprofessional conduct.
Gbaya alleged that the minister had used “divide-and-rule” tactics, improperly managed personnel, and undermined professional leadership, citing the sidelining of the ministry’s professional head, Paul Bockarie.
The ministry staff also raised concerns about irregularities in the procurement process for presidential lodges and the sale of government quarters, alleging that contracts were awarded without due process.
