In a stunning revelation from the Auditor General’s report for 2022, the Office of the President emerges as a beacon of financial mismanagement. Unearthed irregularities, especially in expenditures totaling SLE22,570,463.00,(over Twenty-two Billion in Old Leones) showcases a shocking absence of essential documentation, turning the presidential office into a black hole of financial accountability.

While the presidency should be a shining example, this report paints a comically dismal picture – a government led by Maada Bio drowning in a sea of financial chaos. The lack of payment vouchers, receipts, delivery notes, and expenditure returns raises serious doubts about the transparency and responsibility exercised at the highest levels.

This financial opacity not only challenges the core of public trust but also transforms the Office of the President into a breeding ground for potential misuse of public funds.
The financial foundations are shaking, and the leadership’s inability to provide proper documentation undermines the very essence of fiscal responsibility.

Citizens must demand a thorough investigation to hold those responsible accountable.

The President’s office should not be a financial black box; instead, it should be a beacon of transparency.

This wake-up call demands immediate corrective measures to salvage the nation’s progress and prosperity. The government’s financial ship is sinking, and it’s high time for a rescue mission before irreparable damage is done.
