The Governor of the Bank of Sierra Leone, Professor Kelfala Kallon continues to face strong criticism over the current liquidity crisis in the country which started during the festive season to date.
Native Consortium, a consortium of over 30 civil society organizations has demanded that the Bank Governor resign with immediate effect.
In view of this, the Executive Director, Edmond Abu (Jr), has on behalf of the Consortium written an open letter to Governor Prof. Kelfala Kallon demanding his immediate resignation after failing to solve the liquidity crisis by mid-January as promised.
“If you cannot keep to your own deadline, we ask that you gracefully resign…Failure to do so will leave us with no alternative but to mobilize the business community and well-meaning citizens to stage a peaceful protest to compel you to resign…We hope you become a listening Governor and come out quickly to publicly address the nation about the mid-January currency shortage deadline you set for yourself”, the letter noted.
The letter further explained that it is no secret that liquidity crisis during this last festive season to date has caused innumerable economic embarrassment and incalculable loss to individuals and businesses.
