The newly appointed Chief Minister, David Sengeh’s just opened opinion poll on what he should be in the next phase of his public service, has sparked different reactions on Twitter.
In his post on Twitter, Sengeh wrote: “In a recent poll, 80% of you (1,367 respondents) think that during the last 5 years, I was “a good technocract” (44%) and “a bad politician” (36%). Now, here’s another poll. For my next phase of public service, what do you think I should be more of?”

You deliver deligently, but their is some room for improvement you need to take into consideration.
1. Ministry of lands and labour.- you need to cross check those ministries regularly. Up till now, their are so many land documents that has taken more than Three years without being sign and also so many security agencies that doesn’t pay pay nassit for their workers.
2. Education. – syllabus needed to be completed by teachers , most especially for the public examination student. To introduce digital sign in and sign out for all teachers all across the country with effective monitoring to all government and government assisted schools.
