On the 27^th July 2020, President Julius Maada Bio of Sierra Leone appointed Timothy Musa Kabba Minister of Mines and Mineral Resources. The mining sector is a very important source of revenue for the government. Politico’s Alpha Abu on Monday 20^th December went to talk to the minister in his Youyi building office in Freetown on various issues relating to the mining sector.

In my September 2019 article published by Politico Sierra Leone, Why Third Parties Fail in Sierra Leone, I identified five reasons why political parties other than SLPP and APC fail to win State House at the ballot box: Winner-takes-all System, Lack of Resources, Perception of Power-sharing, Likelihood of Success, and Politics of Familiarity.

We can become what we say,

When we believe the truth of what we say,

And practice what we say with discipline.

Let us therefore be careful

To say, believe and practice

Only that which edifies all.

Sierra Leoneans always were,

Still are,

Must always be,

And will hopefully always remain ,

Sincere and sober,

Industrious with integrity,
