Bank of Sierra Leone's governor, deputy formally bow out
Freetown, Sierra Leone - Sierra Leone's Central Bank Governor James D. Rogers and Deputy Mohamed Fofanah officially bowed out of office Thursday, as a result of pressure from the presidency.
Observers said the decision to force out the duo was aimed at preparing the grounds for the newly-appointed Finance and Development Minister to introduce his new economic policy.
Central Bank sources said Rogers and Fofanah were seen as "promoters of politics" within the Bank of Sierra Leone.
