The Chief Justice of Sierra Leone is a woman, the first in the History of this country. It was no freak of action when the President, His Excellency Ernest Bai Koroma took the bold decision to appoint a female to the most exalted position in the third arm (the Judiciary) of the Administrative hierarchy of the state as enshrined in the country’s current Governing 1991 Constitution – The Executive, Legislative and Judiciary

The State House press release that was manufactured (I called it so)by Hon. Ibrahim Ben Kargbo, though he denied to this writer doing so, after a meeting last Friday at the Presidential Lodge that presented Hon. Afsatu Kabbah as a victim of circumstance tells how unserious the APC government is with its loud noise of fighting against corruption.

| The Cocaine Plane From Caracas Venezuela.....Allegedly Bought By A Top Cabinet Minister |
The integrity of the sovereignty of Sierra Leone was seriously at stake not too long ago (July 2008) when a Cessna Aircraft carrying about 700 Kg of cocaine substance landed at the Lungi International Airport close to the City of Freetown.

Not withstanding the current over-play of electricity supply to the city of Freetown, which has yet to be continuous and sustainable; and the newly commissioned Bumbuna Hydro Power Station, from where only intermittent supply seems to flow, the industry has still not reeled itself out of crisis that seem almost perpetually to engulf the wholly owned and managed government parastatal

Customary law in Sierra Leone, like the British Customary law is the basis of the legal system in Sierra Leone as it was in Britain from where the “Fountain of Justice and Principle” was acquired by our forebears, throughout the vast area of the hinterland of this country – Sierra Leone. Paramount Chiefs are the custodians of customary law in their respective chiefdoms, which by some measure of coincidence, quite often, if not always are synonymous and parallel in application throughout the country

There may be no better way to describe the two incidents that took place the past weeks. Experts in criminology and psychology perhaps may have a better and distinctive way of putting it for observers of the scenes to understand, but psyche would not mince their words to say that the primary suspect in the two incidents cannot be unconnected with the current investigation carried out by the Anti Corruption Commission

President Ernest Bai Koroma so-called ministerial contract for Cabinet Ministers in the APC government has been described as another political gimmick devised by State House to play on the intelligence of gullible supporters of the party and the International Community.

Those who hold such opinions are entitled to their opinions but they are certainly in the minority. The majority of people

An orphan nicknamed “Jumbo’ by the late Dr. Siaka Steven is one of the errand boys of Jamal Shallop and pushing out his thoracic cavity to inform people around “Wilberforce Bottom Mango” that his boss is one of the untouchables and sacred cows in the country and that the exposé of the standard times press has nothing to do with him. For Jumbo to make scathing comments as he parades the street is no surprise to many people as his allegiance and loyalty has since been tied to individuals who are exploiting Sierra Leone under the guise of businessmen and women
