Under the leadership of HE Dr. Brima Patrick Kapuwa, Sierra Leone’s
Permanent Representative to the African Union, SL’s AIG Augustine Magnus Kailie
has been appointed Police Commissioner of the AU Mission in Somalia. AIG
Kailie’s appointment comes after a highly contested recruitment process with
other troop contributing countries to the African Union Peacekeeping efforts
within the continent.
When speaking, Ambassador Dr. Kapuwa, expressed
appreciation to HE Bio for his insight and inspiration to have Sierra Leonean’s
appointed to efforts at regional and Continental peace and security. HE Dr.
Kapuwa noted that Sierra Leone’s disposition as Chair of the Security Council
in the African Union puts the country in a strategic position to take its
rightful place on the global polity’s stage. ‘Because we have a robust foreign
policy when it comes to international Regimes, supported by a President who
seeks the best for his country, Sierra Leone has regained its presence among
global actors’, Ambassador Kapuwa quoted saying.
On his part, AIG Kailie brings to the Continental
Police Force, the required qualifications, experiences and insider knowledge
necessary to lead and command multi-disciplinary forces from various countries
across Africa. AIG Kailie had earlier served in Peacekeeping missions before
this appointment and Sierra Leone remains confident that he will do us proud.
AIG Kailie is known to be a strict and hardworking
personality. His wealth of experience in the security sector of the Sierra
Leone Police (OSD) is a convincing highlight to showcase that AIG Kailie will
set good records in the AU Security Platform.
Congregations to you AIG Kailie and the SLP
institution of my beloved country, Mama Salone.
