The Parliament of Sierra Leone has approved seven Presidential nominees following deliberations held on 20th November 2025.
The approval came after the presentation of the Third Report of the Committee on Appointments and Public Service, chaired by the Majority Leader and Leader of Government Business, Hon. Sahr Mathew Nyuma.
Presenting the nominees to the House, Hon. Nyuma explained that each nominee had been thoroughly interviewed under oath. The vetting process examined their professional experience, track records, tax compliance, asset declaration, and their vision for effectively carrying out their duties. He informed MPs that the report presented reflected the unanimous decision of the committee.
Seconding the motion, the Deputy Leader 2 of the Opposition, Hon. Aaron Aruna Koroma, referenced Section 61 of the 1991 Constitution, which empowers the President to appoint officials based on competence and performance.
