I have served as Field Coordination Officer in the National Electoral Commission (NEC) from 2005 to 2009, District Electoral Officer for Port Loko District from 2009 to January 2010 and presently I am the Regional Chief of the Northern Region, one of the biggest Regions in Sierra Leone electoral administrations covering five Districts – Bombali, Koinadugu, Tonkolili, Kambia and Port Loko.
