RSLAF Secures Approval to Sell Juba Military Barracks – Defence Spokesperson Hassan Coomber
The Air Commodore, Chief of Air Staff and Defence Spokesperson of the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces (RSLAF), Hassan Sei Coomber, has confirmed that the Defence Council has approved the sale of Juba Military Barracks as part of efforts to raise funds to support military infrastructure development.
Speaking in a recent media interview, Coomber said the decision followed internal assessments and a cost-benefit analysis conducted by the military authorities.
“So for the Juba Barracks which we will trade off, we have bought more lands than what we even need for now for us to be able to move people,” he stated.
According to him, the Armed Forces have already secured additional land to accommodate personnel who may be relocated from the Juba facility. He noted that Murray Town has sufficient space for modern development, including the construction of high-rise buildings.
