FREQUENT FIRE OUTBREAKS AND THE STATE OF OUR FIRE FORCE

Even before absorbing the NDMA figure of SEVEN fires over the last few days, the good people of this country saw pictures of another fire to the west of the city. Naturally, the people are tempted to ask the inevitable question: what’s going on? At this time of year when dry winds from the Sahara begin to blow across this part of our continent we usually experience some fire outbreaks. This year however and from the look of things we could be in for a really hard time with fires in built-up Freetown.

THE APPRENTICE AND HIS UNDERSTANDING OF TEAM WORK

In the months and weeks leading to Tolongbo coming to power in 2007, Kankankan established himself as the undisputed Squealer of the RED SQUAD. He sounded smooth and in control of things.

POLICE INSPECTOR IMPERSONATES OLD CHIEF MINISTER

IG Sovula has a lot of work to do. No institution is perfect. We know that but the rate at which police officers are bringing the name of their institution into disrepute is alarming.

Is there anything else to do apart from naming and shaming the officers who disgrace themselves and the institution all the time or sacking them in some cases?

DEATH AND DESTRUCTION FOLLOWING WELLINGTON EXPLOSION

Road accidents happen all the time but the one that took place last Friday evening in the eastern suburbs of Freetown will remain in the minds of Sierra Leoneans for a long time to come. The police are surely investigating how a tipper lorry came to crash into a tanker laden with petrol causing an explosion that has claimed the lives of scores of mostly ordinary people living or commuting through Wellington in the eastern suburbs of Freetown. This is indeed a tragedy beyond belief.

OLD CHIEF MINISTER GOES MUTE ABOUT OUR DISGRACED DIPLOMATS IN GERMANY

When will Old Chief Minister tell us something about that widely publicized attack on our diplomats in Germany? The guy is pretending as if nothing happened in that country when we have pictures of at least one diplomat in hospital being treated and another under police guard for about half an hour. Surely, the good people of Sierra Leone deserve to know what happened to those they sent to Germany to represent them.
