The Sierra Leone judiciary under the leadership of Justice Umu Tejan Jalloh has transferred six magistrates and court clerks to various parts of the country.

The Master and Register of the High Court, Elwyn Bailor said the transfer of magistrates was not a new thing because, according to him, it is a normal routine for the transfer of staff which he said is aimed at bringing sanity in the organization as he believes that all the magistrates and court clerks are professionals in their field and they will always live up to expectation in their new courts.
