EXTRA CHARGES FUSTRATING PARENTS OF JUNIOR SCHOOL PUPILS
We can acknowledge that the Basic Education Ministry is doing a lot to try and ease the burden of getting pupils into Junior Secondary School after successfully going through the NPSE. We have seen one press release after another, radio appearances by RASTA SENGS and his officials trying to steady the nerves and set the records straight as to what the official school charges are. All of that is commendable.
TALIBAN NOW RULE AFGHANISTAN BUT WILL THE COUNTRY FINALLY ENJOY PEACE?
THE DRAW IS DONE SO LET’S DO THIS LEONE STARS
For many Sierra Leoneans qualifying for AfCON alone is enough for now because we’ve been away from the tournament for TWENTY FIVE YEARS. For many others getting through the group stage will be fantastic beyond that the world should allow Sierra Leoneans to dream big. We can’t even begin to imagine the trophy landing at Lungi International Airport considering how we welcomed the team home after qualifying for AfCON over the Republic of Benin.
LIQUIDATOR SET TO CLEAN UP “MY COIN” MESS IN BO
A major step has now been taken in the effort to clean up the economic and social mess created by a company that we now know as MY COIN. The High Court has agreed with the Bank of Sierra Leone that MY COIN was totally unregistered for the financial business they were doing. It means therefore that allowing them to continue doing so might result in serious social unrest because their risky business would eventually collapse and of course the consequences would be on the streets for all to see.
JOHN KEISTER MAKES A VERY BAD MOVE
This column last week called on John Keister to be strong in dealing with Musa Tombo, the player who thinks the nation owes him everything there he can do as he likes and all the rest of us can do is to jump into the sea and die. Keister created the impression he would be strong in dealing with the Tombo issue as a way of ensuring discipline in the squad. The best players in a chaotic camp mean nothing.
