It is no surprise to hear yesterday that Kanja Sesay has tendered his letter of resignation to Maada Bio. They say, it is better late than never but for Kanja Sesay, his resignation makes no difference. He will face the music very soon for rampant graft. This is a man who has contributed immensely in the retrogression of the socio-economic conditions since April 4, 2018 when his corrupt boss Julius Maada Bio took over State House.

Besides, being the Minister of Energy and Power and catapulting the country into the darkest nation category, Kanja Sesay is also the secret father-in-law of Maada Bio. His daughter is one of Maada Bio’s numerous concubines. You can see the bloodline relationship between Maada Bio and his former Minister of Energy and Power. And that is why Kanja Sesay was the longest serving government Minister. Kanja’s resignation has come a few days after the corrupt SLPP Speaker Dr Abass Bundu was forced to resign.

Kanja Sesay is the only Minister who did not change portfolio or removed from his ministry by Maada Bio in the last five and a half years of SLPP misrule. He is a very corrupt politician who would definitely face trial when Dr Samura Kamara takes over power this year after the conclusion of the Tripartite Investigations Committee, set up to probe the fraudulent June 24, 2023 elections. Bad riddance to the corrupt Kanja Sesay, Mr Blackout! The SLPP politician Kanja Sesay is among other Paopas who stole Sierra Leone’s wealth and brought the nation to its knees.

Sierra Leone Minister of Energy Resigns Following Massive Blackout

By Concern Citizen

The Minister of Energy for Sierra Leone, Alhaji Kanja Sesay, submitted his letter of resignation to President Dr Julius Maada Bio this morning. This decision was made in the wake of a national blackout, for which the Minister has taken responsibility. Mr Sesay served as the Energy Minister for six years and was regarded as one of President Bio’s finest ministers during his first term in office. His resignation has caused rumours to circulate regarding the potential appointment of a new Energy Minister. In the upcoming days, President Bio is anticipated to name Mr Sesay’s replacement as the government attempts to resolve the nation’s energy crisis.

SLPP Media Praises the Corrupt Kanja Sesay Who Resigned Yesterday

By Wise Man, Global Times

After a difficult week for the Energy Minister, he met with President Bio this morning and offered to step aside. His resignation has been accepted. Kanja Sesay served as Minister of Energy from July 2018 to April 2024. He succeeded in increasing access to energy, negotiated major energy projects and implemented some of them. He was seen as one of the best and experienced Ministers in the Bio administration. The recent power outage in the capital city of Freetown may have made his position untenable.

His failure to get the Finance Ministry to settle outstanding payment arrears with Karpowership may have expedited his departure. Kanja Sesay was seen as one of the five pillars of the Paopa Movement. He was a staunch supporter of current President Bio. His departure came hot on the heels of d retirement of the Speaker of Parliament Dr Abass Bundu, another strong pillar of the Paopa Movement. Kanja Sesay was seen as the last man standing. His departure is regrettable. He gave the job of Energy Minister his best shot!
