Sierra Leone Government to Start Reading Cabinet Decisions in Public

The Government of Sierra Leone has announced that Cabinet conclusions will now be read publicly at the Weekly Government Press Conference, a move aimed at increasing transparency and public access to information on executive decision-making.

The announcement was made by the Minister of Information and Civic Education, Chernor Bah, during a regular government media briefing in Freetown. He said the decision was taken by President Dr Julius Maada Bio and members of Cabinet as part of ongoing efforts to promote openness, accountability, and public trust in governance.

According to Minister Bah, the new approach will allow citizens to gain clearer insight into decisions taken at Cabinet level and help address concerns about limited public knowledge of government deliberations. He stated that the measure is intended to make governance more accessible and improve communication between the government and the public.
