APC flagbearer aspirant Ady Macaulay has issued a powerful statement advocating for the rights of workers and calling for the implementation of real living wages across the country.
In a message that resonated with many citizens struggling with the rising cost of living, Macaulay said, “As we mark International Workers Day, let’s commit to fighting for REAL living wages in Sierra Leone. Our workers build this nation daily but can’t afford decent housing, education for their children, or healthcare. Workers deserve dignity, not poverty.”
Macaulay’s remarks come at a time when many Sierra Leonean workers are grappling with economic hardship, high inflation, and limited access to basic services. His bold call adds to growing pressure on both government and private sector employers to improve working conditions and salary structures in line with the actual cost of living.
A former Anti-Corruption Commissioner and a respected lawyer, Ady Macaulay has consistently positioned himself as a voice for the ordinary Sierra Leonean, emphasizing economic reforms, job creation, and social justice as key pillars of his campaign for the 2028 presidential election under the All People’s Congress (APC) party.
Ady Macaulay is a prominent Sierra Leonean lawyer, anti-corruption crusader, and political aspirant, widely known for his unwavering commitment to justice, governance reform, and national development. A former Commissioner of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) of Sierra Leone, Macaulay has built a reputation as a fearless public servant and advocate for systemic change.
Born and raised in Sierra Leone, Ady Macaulay pursued his early education locally before advancing his legal studies in the United Kingdom. He holds a Law degree and is a qualified barrister with years of experience practicing both at home and abroad. His legal acumen and passion for justice positioned him as a strong candidate to lead one of the country’s most critical institutions— the Anti-Corruption Commission.
As ACC Commissioner, Macaulay spearheaded several high-profile investigations and policy reforms aimed at tackling graft and improving public sector accountability. His leadership style was marked by transparency, discipline, and a deep belief in the rule of law. Under his tenure, the ACC regained public trust and began pursuing corruption cases with renewed vigor, holding both high-ranking officials and institutions accountable.
Beyond his legal and public service roles, Ady Macaulay is emerging as a key political figure within the All People’s Congress (APC), where he is currently vying for the party’s flagbearer position ahead of the 2028 presidential elections. His political philosophy centers on social justice, youth empowerment, economic revitalization, and institutional reform. Macaulay has emphasized the need for inclusive leadership that reflects the will of the people and addresses the structural issues holding Sierra Leone back.
