Government to Make Further Reductions in Rice Prices

19 Mar 2025 • 1 min read • 9,332 views • 7 comments

The government has announced further reductions in rice prices in the coming months. This follows a series of unprecedented price cuts implemented over the past few months.

Imran Sillah from the Strategic Communication Unit at the Ministry of Information and Communication (MOICE) credited this achievement to the leadership of President Bio and the collaborative efforts of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Trade, and the National Revenue Authority (NRA).

During a weekly press conference, Sillah explained that a newly developed pricing formula has resulted in a reduction of over NLe 250 in the cost of a bag of rice. He noted that the government’s initiatives have brought the price of rice down to approximately NLe 960.

These measures aim to alleviate the financial burden on citizens and ensure that essential staple foods remain accessible to all.

There’s no credit in reducing the prices of rice which this government is responsible for increasing the prices unreasonably.

This electoral thief called Maada Bio has absolutely NO mandate to govern the people of Sierra Leone. We have exercised enormous patience as a country to see the implementation of the 84 recommendations of the Tripartite. There is NO way we’ll allow this good for nothing clueless man to continue to wreck havoc in Sierra Leone. As uncouth and crude as he’s, patriotic Sierra Leoneans across the world will fight to ensure that he does not only vacate office but also face justice at the ICC for his crimes against humanity. He’s mainly responsible for the killings of thousands of NorthWesterners shot dead In prisons, during peaceful protests, and in their houses. There are documentary evidences to the effect.

Do you think that APC will win the next election by 2028? You must be dreaming. Please tell me the price of rice because I am buying it at the moment 740 Leones and you are mentioning 960 Leones, please tell us which is the cost. Don’t forget about the severance benefits payment to institution of higher education please.
