In her new capacity as First Lady of Sierra Leone, Kabbah planned to set up an office of the first lady from which she would run her own projects.

However, under the influence of members of his party, her husband prevented this.

She endeavoured to use her skills as a lawyer and administrator to work with her husband but was again rebuffed by members of the male-dominated Sierra Leone People's Party who believed that the role of First Lady should remain largely symbolic.
