Shortly after taking the oath, Madam Schwartz thanked President Bio for appointing her into her new office. She said the new direction represents the change which she is determined to move forward. The new Minister of Justice pledged her commitment to work in accordance with the vision of President Bio.
Your Excellency, I want to use this opportunity to thank you for the trust and confidence that you have placed in me. I want to sincerely pledge that I will serve you faithfully and the new direction. I will do my best to be one of the vehicles that will move the new direction forward, she said.
On his part, President Bio congratulated the new Attorney-General on her appointment. He said the task ahead is a bit challenging and everyone must be ready to make Sierra Leone a beautiful place on earth. He noted that he cannot do it alone thus the reason he is bringing other compatriots onboard to move his administration forward.
We must use the new direction to develop this nation. It is a collective responsibility and that is the reason I am bringing you all onboard. We must make Sierra Leone the best place on earth for direct investment where contracts are honoured, an open society is created and the rule of law is maintained. As you assume office today, let me wish you the best and assure you of my utmost support, he ended.
