He also served as Ombudsman from 2011 to 2012.
Sissoko was appointed as Prime Minister in the evening of 11 December 2012 shortly after the arrest of his predecessor, Cheick Modibo Diarra, by the leaders of the March 2012 coup d'etat; Diarra had been forced to resign.
Sissoko studied the National School of Administration in Mali and France's University of Caen, International Institute of Public Administration and the University of Rouen.
From 1972 to 1979, Sissoko was successively the Deputy Director and Director of Prison Services, as well as Director of the Central Prison of Bamako, the Malian capital. Subsequently he was the National Director of the Civil Service and Personnel from 1982 to 1983 and Director of the Cabinet of the Minister of Labor and the Civil Service from 1983 to 1984. Sissoko has also worked for the IMF, World Bank, African Development Bank and the Islamic Development Bank.
Sissoko entered the government as Minister of Justice in December 1984; he held that position until February 1988, when he was appointed as Secretary-General of the Presidency. He was Secretary-General of the Presidency until the ouster of Moussa Traoré in March 1991, obtaining the rank of Minister in June 1989.
Sissoko worked as a consultant from 1994 to 2002. He then became Director of the Cabinet of the Prime Minister on 13 November 2002, and after serving in that post for over five years, he was instead appointed to his former position as Secretary-General of the Presidency, with the rank of Minister, on 26 January 2008. He was succeeded as Director of the Cabinet of the Prime Minister by Sanoussi Touré on 4 February 2008. Sissoko was then appointed to the post of Ombudsman on 18 May 2011.
