Sierra Leone President Swears in New Vice President

The Sierra Leonean President, Ernest Bai Koroma, has sworn in a new vice president a day after he dismissed Vice President, Samuel Sam-Sumana.

Mr Sam-Sumana has said his purported removal is unconstitutional and unlawful and he has instructed his lawyers to pursue the matter at the Supreme Court. 

The new Vice President is Victor Bockarie Foh, Former Secretary General of the ruling All People’s Congress Party, who until his selection was Sierra Leone’s Ambassador to China.

Government Spokesman, Abdulai Bayraytay said the new Vice President brings with him a wealth of experience.
