The findings in the current 2020 reports are appalling and demonstrate systematic, crude and flagrant thievery. It also shows poor compliance with established laws, rules and practices, as well as a lack of accountability and transparency and questionable use of taxpayer monies.
We, the political leaders, must not renege on our responsibilities to hold the government accountable. If we do, the citizens will not forget or forgive how we aided and abetted corruption by deliberate negligence. May the Almighty save us from their wrath.
1/10 - My thoughts on on the TRANSCO-CLSG Line: Congratulations to @PresidentBio, @ebklegacy & the late President Kabba for the partial completion of the long awaited CLSG interconnection project. #SaloneTwitter
2/10 - The turning on of the switch for the TRANSCO-CLSG interconnection is a victory for @african_pool and many donors and development finance instituitons. #SaloneTwitter
3/10 - Finally, a two decades ECOWAS vision has been partly fulfilled. We commend all the successive governments in the 4 countries for putting regional energy cooperation above narrow political interests, and nationalistic chauvinism. #SaloneTwitter
Thread - Supreme Court Judgement in the case between David Fornah and Dr. Kandeh Kolleh Yumkella.
I give praise to the Almighty for his grace in making sure that my personal quest to open up the political space for Sierra Leoneans in general, & our citizens in the diaspora, has received a resounding endorsement by the Supreme Court judges of the Republic. 2/7
I commend Justice Nicholas Colin Browne-Marke, Justice Emmanuel Ekundayo Roberts, Justice Glenna Thompson, Justice Alusine Sesay and Justice Sengu Koroma for their courage & vision. 3/7
I welcome the announcement by @MinisterManty - Minister of Gender and Children's Affairs of @PresidentBio’s Cabinet approval of the 'Gender Empowerment Bill’. #SierraLeone
According to the announcement, the building blocks of the proposed Bill include an affirmative action clause that guarantees 30% women's representation in parliament and access to finance for women. #GenderEmpowermentBill2021
These provisions are consistent with the @NGCSierraleone’s progressive agenda. Our party will support them. I look forward to seeing the Bill and working with the government and colleagues in parliament to ensure its speedy passage. #SierraLeone#OpenthePoliticalSpace
