IS JOB DOING HIS JOB ?

              When i get the news that BU BUAKIE JABBIE has won injunction over SLPP against holding  the schedule conference to choose a flag bearer on March 11th,2011. I start to wonder if the leaders  of the party are doing their jobs, after a long thought I came to the conclusion that they are not doing the major things they are elected to do communications, finance and unity. No way a political party can win without these three. 1. COMMUNICATION : Always the party in power has a greater advantage in communication because they control the tools of communication and they use it to their advantage, some times  they even monitor and suppress any media or anyone  they  think is opposition to their cause especially if they are revealing  their sort comings and bring it to light, so that the citizens will hold them to account for it.The job of the opposition parties in Si...

APC IS KNOWN FOR ONE PARTY SYSTEM AND JOHN BENJAMIN IS HELPING THEM.

           On his inauguration speech President Ernest  Bai Koroma called on citizens to desist from actions that threatened to divide the country "we should all be working now as one united body for the good of our nation by safeguarding our republic,strengthening our Government and building new institutions," he said . "we must all be ready now to embrace change.Change in our attitude  towards one another,change in our attitude to our work and responsibilities and change in attitude towards our nation." and he said these should translate positively into progress and development  of the country to a jubilant crowd of supporters.i was hopeful but skeptical knowing the track record of APC.My hope  dashed away when the APC Government block the delivery of medical shipment for the Bo and Kono government hospitals.             In 2008,after the opening cere...

THE SPEAKER VS I.B.KARGBO WHO IS RIGHT ?

           On February 23 2011,I asked the Sierra Leone parliament to withdraw their honour of Ghaddaffi due to present events  happening in his country and the way he reacted on his own people.But to my dismay on reading an article on the AWOKO headlined "Speaker disregards Gaddafi's parliamentary honour"i realised the speaker of parliament justice Nathaniel Abel Stronge is deminising what happened on January 1,2009 in parliament,according to the article the speaker claimed it was just a proposal made by the former Majority Leader Hon. Eddie Turay of the ruling APC and the honour was not sacrosanct,although only the ones  who are in favour of the honour was asked the former leader said the "ayes"have it.The speaker with the help of the chief of protocol pinned the small flag on Ghaddaffi's chest which was called the badge of the Sierra Leone parliament.No one question the validity of the...

SIERRA LEONE PARLIARMENT SHOULD WITHDREW GHADDAFI'S HONNOR

Couple of years ago the sierra leone Parliament give Muammar Ghaddaffi honorary member of parliament,a lot of sierra leoneans where surprise by their action even though before his arrival in Sierra Leone the civil society movement in a statement ask him to apologise to Sierra Leoneans for his support of is the (RUF) rebel group that committed crimes in the country,his defence was he supported freedom figthers like Mandela and the ANC,but that does not deter the Sierra Leone parliament to Honor him as a member of their chamber ignoring the what happened during the brutal war.with what is happening now in Libya,Ghaddaffi's action on his own people because they are asking for the same thing he supported his so called freedom figthers,the Sierra Leone parliament should withdraw the honor he received from them and the Koroma government should condemn his actions.

COLONEL AND CIVIL WARS.

Carefully following events in Libya,you will know everything has its own time,come a time you will not think about the suffering of Libyans in the hands of colonel Qaddafi.He used to embrace Africans who were suffering under corrupt regime and even undermined their ouster mostly which lead to civil wars in most west African countries.He will be the first to recognise and even visit coup plotters.Now his people want the same freedom and justice he wanted for all the other countries his regime is using violence to intimidate them.Mr.colonel your time is over their is no turning back you want freedom and justice for other countries and your people want freedom and justice from you.
