CHARLES MARGAI SCANS SALONE JUSTICE SYSTEM FROM THE BACKDOOR

Every time Charles Margai appears on radio he turns his fire on his own territory – the justice system in Sierra Leone. On Monday, Margai told the whole country something which, on the face of it, looks funny. But we saw a lot of symbolism in it in relation to the effectiveness and fairness, or otherwise, of the justice system. Margai told us that the main door leading to the Law Courts building is reserved for only the privileged. He said he couldn't understand why that was so.

KAN KAN KAN FIGHTS TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL

We know the people of this country are now familiar with the way Kan Kan Kan goes about his job as spokesman for the government. His position is to publicly deny any negative statement about the government while blowing out of proportion things as little as salaries being paid on time.

WHAT IS GOOD FOR CHINA SHOULD BE GOOD FOR AMERICA

It was very refreshing to hear directly from De Pa last Friday as he addressed the media on the outcome of his recent visit to China. The news conference answered a few questions but as is always the case, a lot more questions are crying for answers. Someday we shall evaluate the impact of this renewed Chinese push into Sierra Leone. For now we congratulate De Pa for meeting the media and for promising to do so every month.

CHIEF SIDIKIE MAKES U-TURN ON ROAD TO MIATTA HALL

There's no doubt that the more Chief Sidikie is marginalised by De Pa, the more the Chief gains public sympathy and begins to win more and more friends. So a man who only a year or two ago was all over the papers associated with allegations of one scandal or the other, is beginning to look like a man being bullied and persecuted by his boss. And it's natural that Sierra Leoneans, like their Colonial Masters, always sympathise with underdogs and the victimised.
