I don’t know much about the past of Dr Denis Sandi, the Minister of Lands, Housing Country Planning and the Environment, apart from the fact that he stayed in Bo at some point in time and taught at the Fourah Bay College lately. However, as a people, what we have as a perception for him so far is that he symbolizes patriotism, an action man and the kind of person we yearn for.

The development of any nation is not the sole responsibility of any tribe, region or political party but the responsibility of its people. Race, ethnicity or affiliation, where development aspirations/ objectives are the focus, none of it should be considered as either a factor or driving force. That is why those who consider any of these elements in the development

On Thursday 12th June 2008, I received response from ACC stating that ACC does not have power to investigate forgery under the ACC Act 2000. I have therefore listed some of the most common offences that might be concealed through the act of forgery. Forgery in most cases will lead to no audit trail and ACC will not achieve its objectives without proper fraud/forgery investigation and prosecuting powers.

The rate at which things are progressing in Sierra Leone is absolutely incredible. Today’s conformists were yesterday’s non-conformists. Last years political spectators are now in the forefront of political activism. In light of the above observation, this writer has raised the rhetorical, who would have thought that, poser?

Starting from Sierra Leone, since this year, there has been campaigns West Africa-wide for attitude change as a progress measure. Anybody who knows West Africa well, as Kwasi Gyan-Apeteng, a former editor of the prestigious London, UK-based West Africa magazine (now defunct) and currently member of Ghana’s National Commission of Culture, will tell you, “we are poor because we lack the right attitude

Nine months have past since the SLPP government of ex-president Kabbah was relieved of the seat of power, but some of the capricious acts committed under that regime remained needs to be cured in the society. Some have threatened the peace and stability as well as the thriving democratic system. The APC government of his Excellency Ernest Koroma inherited a society marred with a lot of negative baggage. But as promised, His Excellency Ernest Koroma has long begun work on a number of vital national economic and political reforms

It is no longer an African political secret that many men have, many a time, dedicated all they stand for just to achieve victory in and at elections. In the Sierra Leonean context, the country and its people have made history. Though Brigadier Bio said at the handing over ceremony that they “handed over power not due to any pressure

Political statements by politicians, leaders and presidents are considered as commitment and point of reference in making a thorough assessment of these people. A politician is as good as his words and as good as his performance. Although, Hegel, a political Philosopher once said that there is no morality in politics, that doesn’t mean a politician should not keep to his promises.

In the euphoria that attended the arrival of the generating sets during the Xmas week, sounding a note of caution may easily has been construed as negative or indeed unpatriotic. However, in a fledgling democracy like ours such caution should not just be dismissed lightly but should be welcomed, looked into and properly

Democracy is like a vehicle that moves a certain state forward for the development of her citizenry. Government Officials are regarded as the engineers in charge of tightening up the bolts and nuts of that democratic vehicle for a good ride. Accountability should be the lubricant in order to up keep the engine of such a vehicle so as to avoid a disastrous mechanical failure.

A week in politics, the old cliché says, is a very long time. But the rapidity with which events have taken place in the first week of Ernest Koroma’s presidency in Sierra Leone leaves one with a sense of admiration for the 54-year-old. Of course the critics think the opposite. Just now, Koroma has been slain for making a trip abroad while there were reports of tensions and/or attacks purportedly against SLPP members

The elections in Sierra Leone have been won by the people. The message is still not loud enough for all and sundry to hear and understand. The voters do not hate the SLPP, nor particularly love the APC, and not quite comfortable with the PMDC either. The choice of the people has been a yearning for regime change.
