The Traffic Management and Road Safety Directorate of the Sierra Leone Police has reported a substantial revenue generation of over 217,666 Leones in the first quarter of the year, derived from various traffic-related operations.
This revenue, collected from fines, towing fees, and clamping charges, has been directly deposited into the consolidated fund. Commissioner Abdul Moijueh, who has been instrumental in enhancing professionalism and accountability within the Directorate, noted that daily operations focus on a range of traffic offenses, including the use of unlicensed vehicles, operating without valid driver’s licenses, excessive vehicle decoration, overloading, and dangerous driving. Offenders are apprehended, charged, and fined, with required payments being accompanied by receipts and necessary documentation.
A significant portion of the revenue, amounting to 104,500 Leones, was generated through towing operations conducted from March 1 to March 31, 2025. During this period, 86 vehicles were clamped, resulting in 28,000 Leones in revenue, despite the damage to four clamps. Additionally, several vehicles were impounded and taken to the Sierra Leone Road Safety Authority’s impound yards.
The total revenue generated for the first quarter, combining both general traffic offenses and towing operations, stands at 217,666 Leones (113,166 Leones + 104,500 Leones). Commissioner Moijueh emphasized the Directorate’s commitment to enhancing service delivery through interagency collaborations, reflecting the vision of Inspector General of Police Mr. William Fayia Sellu to ensure the free flow of traffic and maintain road safety across the nation.
