The Sierra Leone Road Safety Authority (SLRSA), in partnership with the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), has concluded a two-day sensitisation and capacity-building workshop focused on ethics, integrity, and the Anti-Corruption Act for Road Safety Corps personnel.
The training was held on 26th July 2026 at Kissy Road, Freetown, as part of efforts by the Authority to strengthen professionalism, accountability, and ethical conduct among officers responsible for enforcing road safety regulations across the country.
The workshop brought together Road Safety Corps personnel who were trained on the importance of maintaining integrity, understanding ethical responsibilities, and identifying and responding to corrupt practices in the execution of their duties.
Speaking on behalf of the Executive Director and Management of SLRSA, the Director of Human Resource, Hassanatu Judith Mansaray-Bangura, expressed appreciation to the Anti-Corruption Commission for collaborating with the Authority to deliver the training.
She noted that Road Safety Corps officers represent the public image of the institution, adding that their behaviour, professionalism, and commitment to duty play a major role in building public confidence and trust.
She encouraged participants to apply the knowledge gained from the training in their daily responsibilities, emphasising that transparency, accountability, and integrity are essential values in effective public service.
The Chairman of the SLRSA Board, Retired Assistant Inspector General of Police Thomas Mustapha Lahai, also reminded officers that their actions directly influence how the public views the Authority.
He urged them to uphold the mission and vision of SLRSA by demonstrating discipline, fairness, and professionalism while carrying out road safety enforcement duties.
The Board Chairman further advised officers to treat all road users, including drivers, commercial motorbike riders, kekeh operators, and pedestrians, with respect and fairness while ensuring that their duties are performed without bias, favouritism, or corruption.
Delivering the keynote presentation, Deputy Director of the Prevention Department at the Anti-Corruption Commission, Samuel Marah Esq., highlighted the importance of integrity among public officers.
He warned against practices such as bribery, abuse of office, and conflicts of interest, explaining that such actions weaken public trust, affect service delivery, and hinder national development.
Mr. Marah also educated participants on the legal consequences of corruption and encouraged them to use established reporting channels whenever they encounter suspected corrupt activities.
The training forms part of SLRSA’s broader efforts under the leadership of Executive Director James Bagie Bio to promote ethical leadership, strengthen institutional accountability, and develop a professional Road Safety Corps capable of delivering transparent and people-centred services.
