It was a night when even the UK Government Adviser and Deputy Leader, Rt Hon Simon Hughes (MP), of one of the two governing parties of the UK Coalition Government had to stay till after 1:00am just to welcome the Rtd Brigadier Julius Maada Bio to the United Kingdom. In fact, one of the journalists from the international press team who stood by me was so carried away by the hundreds of women who welcomed Maada Bio’s entourage into the hall that he whispered to his other colleague “Wow, the Presidential Candidate really looks likeable and charismatic”. Where I stood, I only smiled and said to myself “I wish the APC and their Spin Doctors could have heard that compliment”.

Sierra Leone’s republican status of 1971 granted its citizens the right to determine who governs them. By April 1978 the All People’s Congress; led by Siaka P. Stevens had relegated the nation to a one party state and effectively subverted the possibility of constitutional governance. Under the one party APC dictatorship, the country continued to decline in all sectors of the human development index which was climaxed by the proxy war of opportunism and exploitation in the 1990s. While the country enjoys the absence of armed struggle and military conflict today, it continues to be challenged by all the markers of bad governance and class exploitation.

Clear-cut evidences of President Ernest Bai Koroma’s personal responsibility for the wrongdoings in his administration are too obvious to be smoke-screened by a sycophantic Jarrah Kawusu-Conte type serial propaganda.

Governments, a political wit once lamented, don’t lie, they merely fabricate. And to a limited extent, we can understand our leaders having to engage in some spin or p.r. strategy. But as the APC arms purchase scandal has revealed, this is a Government that does not even spin; rather, it lies – and does so with impunity. And, the worst part is the President and his team believe they can get away with it.

Having contradicted itself spectacularly after being called out on its questionable arms purchase, the Government simply should have done the honourable thing: shake off the embarrassment and just tell the truth.

United Nations Must Hear This!

Desperate members in the ruling All Peoples Congress Party of Ernest Bai Koroma  are reportedly putting diabolic plans in place, a last kick for a dying horse.

According to information gathered by the Unity Newspaper, plans are underway to keep the flag bearer of the opposition Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP), Rtd. Brigadier Julius Maada Bio out of the way for President Koroma to achieve his second term bid for the presidency of the Republic of Sierra Leone.

If this information is anything to go by, then it is clear that the All Peoples Congress plans to stage-manage a coup plot in which the flag bearer of SLPP will be named for possible arrest and prosecution which may deter his chances of becoming the next president of the country.

The executioner of the plan according to our source has already been paid and all necessary arrangement put in place which is to be implemented three months before the elections commence in November. When the coup is successfully stage-managed, and major SLPP party members are implicated, then, the second plan is to disrupt elections in the south and eastern districts which are the strong hold of the opposition Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP).
