Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. In a development that has sparked excitement across the force, rice contractor VIP officially commenced nationwide distribution of rice to the Sierra Leone Police this morning.
Police officers in various parts of the country have been seen in jubilant mood as the long-awaited food supply begins to reach stations and barracks.
The resumption comes after a prolonged halt in the monthly rice provisions, which was reportedly due to substantial arrears allegedly owed by the government to the contractors. While it remains unclear whether the outstanding payments have been fully settled, the return of VIP to the distribution chain is being celebrated by officers as a welcome relief.
Sources say deliveries began early this morning and are expected to continue throughout the week to ensure all divisions receive their rations. The police leadership has yet to issue an official statement, but early reactions suggest a significant morale boost among rank-and-file officers.
This development marks a positive turn in what had become a growing concern among personnel, many of whom had expressed frustration over the delay in one of their most basic entitlements.
