The Inspector General of the Sierra Leone Police, William Fayia Sellu, has debunked certain media reports purporting that there has been a delay in the supply of rice to the Sierra Leone Police Force describing such as unfounded and completely baseless maintaining that such propaganda aims at tarnishing the reputation of the Force.
He pointed out that during his tenure the issue of backlog in the supply of rice is being addressed to avoid slumping back into the past when such was rampant and the order of the day.
According to the Inspector General, the situation has improved partly because the rice supplier, VIP Trading Company, headed by a dynamic young man, Ahmed Hashim, is timely and cooperatively honouring its obligation.
He commended VIP Trading Company for what he described as excellent execution of the existing contract between the Force and the Company.
The IG intimated that prior to his appointment the issue of backlog in the supply of rice to the force was always rife adding how it sometimes runs into several months due to negligence on the part of the SLP leadership.
He stated that with him at the helm of affairs and with the dedication and commitment of the contractor, the issue of backlog supply is now a thing of the past disclosing how they have been able to offset over ninety percent of the backlogs that accrued over the years.
He further disclosed that supply for February month is already underway noting that the contractor is always on top of situation in making sure that he delivers not only on time but also quality rice supply that continues to boost the morale of the Sierra Leone Police Force.
