Workers of the Sierra Leone Museum have gone on strike.

The workers accuse authorities of withholding eleven months backlog salaries.

The strike also affected the National Railway Museum at Clinetown which was built through the help of the British.

The Permanent Secretary of Tourism and Culture Lorenzo Caulker says plans are under way to clear the eleven months backlog salaries. He says, "It is a problem we inherited from the past government".

Other institutions were also affected by salary crises after the election, a problem which the current government had to grapple with.
