Breaking News: Energy Minister Resigns Amidst Sierra Leone's Electricity Crisis

In a pivotal moment for Sierra Leone, Dr. Alhaji Kanja Sesay, the longstanding Energy Minister, has resigned amidst the nation's worsening electricity shortage. Dr. Sesay, a stalwart of the SLPP government since its inception, has taken this courageous step in light of the escalating crisis that has plagued the country.

The capital city, Freetown, finds itself engulfed in persistent power blackouts, disrupting the lives of its residents. One of the primary culprits behind this crisis is the prevalence of dishonest electricity consumers, contributing to a severe imbalance in the Electricity Distribution and Supply Authority's payment system. This imbalance has left the sector saddled with a staggering debt of $40 million, exacerbating the challenges faced by Sierra Leone's energy infrastructure.
