NEC SHIFTING THE GOAL POST AGAIN

Let us repeat for the sake of clarity, that we want NEC to succeed. We fear however that Christiana Thorpe (Dr?) is leading Sierra Leone down a slippery slope. Some won’t like this but please hear us out. Even idiots, like us, know that you can only register and vote in an area where you are “Ordinarily Resident” and we know what that means. There has to be a direct connection between your vote and your Member of Parliament and Councillor - even your President.

CHOLERA SPREADING AND KILLING; POLITICIANS CAMPAIGNING

Will the politicians surprise us for the first time in Sierra Leone by calling a halt to their campaigns to concentrate on fighting the cholera that is killing the very people who are supposed to be voting on November 17? The president may have declared the situation a national emergency and international help may also be pouring in but to pretend that things are normal enough for politics, politics and more politics looks insensitive to us.

Alpha Kanu in Port Loko – you can’t fool all the people all the time

It’s one thing to go on some radio stations in Freetown early in the morning where some interviewees treat you with kid gloves and tell outright political lies and get away with it. It’s another thing to come face-to-face with the real people who will soon make that ultimate decision about your political future.
