Minister of Energy, Mr Kanja Sesay, is not the type of Minister that sleeps on his wings but one who works for the people of Sierra Leone. Because the rains which give power to Bumbuna have ceased, Mr Sesay is on the move to make sure that power supply to the whole City of Freetown, is sustained.
Mr Sesay recognizes the fact that Sustainable Energy Supply is good for Economic Growth and Human Capital Development and that is all the more reason why he is working tirelessly to make sure that the whole city has light.
Since he took over as Minister of Energy, Mr Kanja Sesay has not relented in his drive to maintain Sustainable Energy Supply.
He is currently looking at ways to employ renewable energy that will supply light to the whole city and beyond.
Leakages in the light system are being put right and soon highly efficient metering systems will be in place to both monitor the way citizens use light and to secure a maximum collection for light supplied.
Because there is no proper metering system at this stage, many people get away with leakages and thefts of light but under Mr Sesay all these will become things of the past.
Despite the fact that at this point in time in the year Bumbuna is not working at full capacity, citizens are enjoying more light at this time of the year than other years during such periods of dry season which adds to the feather of the cap of the Energy Minister, Mr Kanja Sesay.
The moves being made now by the Energy Minister to sustain energy supply in the City, are highly commendable which makes him top the Integrity Score Card above all other Ministers.
Mr Sesay is keeping up to the promise of HE President Bio that if elected he will make sure that blackouts will become things of the past.
President Bio himself will be impressed by the moves being made now by the Energy Minister which just match up to his plan for the City.
