Speaking during the ceremony, Chief Minister Dr. David Moinina Sengeh reiterated the Government’s commitment to public sector reform and urged public servants to embrace innovation, professionalism, and accountability in the discharge of their duties.
Minister of Public Administration and Political Affairs, Hon. Amara Kallon, described World Public Service Day as an important platform for recognizing excellence and dedication within the public sector. He encouraged public servants to remain committed to integrity, compassion, and citizen-centered service delivery.
The two-day event brought together government officials, policymakers, development partners, and other stakeholders to discuss public sector reforms and strategies aimed at improving governance and service delivery.
The recognition bestowed on IGP Sellu reflects the ongoing efforts to strengthen the Sierra Leone Police and promote professionalism, accountability, and public trust within the institution.
