Citizens Wonder Why Robin Faley Has Been Underutilized
Citizens across Sierra Leone, including Chief Minister, Dr. David Moinina Sengeh, have lavished praise on Hon. Robin Faley, the National Coordinator for Community Relations and Citizens Engagement in the Office of the Chief Minister, for his selfless service and unwavering dedication to community engagement nationwide.
Hon. Faley has been widely commended as a beacon of communication, mobilization, peace, and harmony. His consistent grassroots outreach and interactions have made a tangible impact in fostering understanding, reducing community-level conflicts, and building trust between the government and the people.
Speaking on his contributions, several citizens described him as “a source of light” who has guided, warned, and inspired communities toward a more peaceful, inclusive, and participatory role in society.
A seasoned grassroots politician, Faley’s efforts have brought hope to many, and significantly improved the social fabric of communities. His work has contributed to conflict resolution, increased cooperation among diverse groups, and promoted civic participation, inclusion, and justice.
Community leaders across the country have highlighted Faley’s role in strengthening commitments to unity, mutual respect, and national cohesion. His timely dissemination of accurate government information has also helped to curb misinformation and disinformation; issues that have become increasingly problematic in recent times.
“Faley’s interventions have prevented countless instances of unrest that could have arisen from false information. He has served as a trusted bridge between government and the people,” said Chief Foday Lansana, a prominent local leader.
Despite the widespread recognition of his impact, several political analysts and community stakeholders have expressed concern that Hon. Faley remains underutilized within the government structure. Many believe his exceptional abilities in grassroots engagement and communication should be harnessed more strategically to support national development.
Nevertheless, the public sentiment remains strong: Hon. Robin Faley is a key asset to the government and a symbol of effective citizen engagement.
