CRIMINAL AND SEDITIOUS LIBEL LAWS MUST GO

We don’t want to open any big argument with our Members of Parliament over the recent collapse of the government’s bid to repeal those obnoxious anti-free media laws in our Public Order Act. We’ve been told that by virtue of some provision in the parliamentary Standing Order the papers have to be re-submitted and debated so that a decision can be made to repeal or not. Frankly we don’t think this parliament has any choice but to repeal this very bad law.

ANOTHER CASE OF “I CAN’T BREATHE” IN AMERICA

Once again the world is talking about the killing of another unarmed black man by the police in the great United States of America, on Donald Trump’s watch. This has happened even before the dust settles on the killing of another black man by a father and son who say they thought he was a thief. Really? What is worthier of note in this latest killing by the police is that the deceased, like the other black brother in New York, repeated that very familiar line: “I CAN’T BREATHE.” He did it over and over.

OBSERVING AFRICA DAY: HOW FAR ARE WE FROM THE PROMISE OF INDEPENDENCE?

There was a lot on social media on Monday this week about AFRICA DAY. Yes AFRICA DAY, marking the founding of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), now called the African Union (AU). The OAU was formed principally to help liberate the whole continent from the EVIL known as COLONIAL RULE. It was difficult and bloody but the continent is free today.

ADMINISTRATIVE INFIGHTING AT SLMA DRAWS IN PRINCIPAL

The Sierra Leone Maritime Administration is a very troubled institution. In the last two years we have witnessed sackings, anti-corruption raids, court cases and a systems review. We have also witnessed the suspension and eventual sacking of another Executive Director. There is a new guy warming up to take over – the third in two years. And now Principal has ordered an administrative inquiry into the SLMA and suspended half a dozen senior staff in the process.
