FREETOWN, April 26 - Sierra Leone's Energy Minister Kanja Sesay resigned on Friday over a weeks-long electricity crisis, the same day the government announced it had paid some of the tens of millions of dollars it owed to energy providers.
Shortly after Sesay's resignation, the government said in a statement that it had paid $17 million of the $48 million owed to Turkey's Karpowership, which provides electricity to the capital Freetown. "We are pleased to confirm that the power supply at full capacity to Sierra Leone has been restored," the company said in a statement.
In an email to Reuters on April 19, Karpowership said it was owed $48 million and had scaled down supplies to six megawatts from 60 megawatts.
