He previously served as the Commissioner for the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) of Sierra Leone from April 2016 - June 2018.[2]
During his tenure at the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) he instituted new systems and processes to tackle grand and petty corruption in the country.
His mantra, "there is nothing petty about petty corruption," drove his mission to eradicate corruption which research has shown is the largest contributor to poverty and inequality in Sierra Leone. Some of his programs at the ACC included
- Launching a 'Pay-No-Bribe' Campaign: A UK-funded project that provided citizens with direct access to complaint mechanisms, reducing bribery for public services.[3]
- Implementing the National Asset Declaration Form: Deployed online in 2017, increasing government workers' asset declaration compliance by over 40%.
Pro Bono Services: Macauley offered legal aid to indigent citizens and advocated for the rule of law and human rights on radio and TV.
As a member of the All People’s Congress (APC) party, Macauley played a crucial role in advancing the party's interests. His criticism of the current government led to his arrest and investigation for incitement and conspiracy in October 2022. However, this didn't deter him from fighting for citizens' rights.[4]
Macauley's political philosophy centers around unity, seeking to bridge the ethnic and political divisions in Sierra Leone. He's passionate about revitalizing the economy, enhancing social services, and combating corruption.[5]
The key pillars of Macauley's political philosophy include:
- Unity and Inclusion: Uniting an ethnically and politically polarized country
- Economic Revitalization: Fixing a broken economy to benefit ordinary people
- Social Services: Improving essential services for the betterment of all citizens
