RIOTOUS MASK DEVILS CAN PARADE BUT SCHOOL MARCHES ARE BANNED

ILLEGAL BIKE RIDERS POLICE GANGS CAUSING TROUBLE BUT WHO CARES?

Sometime ago we warned against this tendency for Trade Union groups to form what amounts to their own police forces to enforce their own bye-laws. Traders, Motor Drivers, Okada Riders all have their own police officers operating freely alongside the national and municipal police throughout the country. When news came through on social media in the last 48 hours that a Bike rider Police had chased an Okada Man to his death in Bo in the process of enforcing a bye-law, it came as no surprise.

25 YEARS AGO TODAY SANKOH'S RUF ATTACKED SALONE 

THE NINE-DAY WONDER CALLED “FLY SALONE”

So what was celebrated as a masterstroke in attracting foreign direct investment to the world's "fastest growing economy" otherwise called Sierra Leone has ended in an obvious business and PR disgrace. FlySalone can no longer Fly. This is not because nobody saw this coming, at least we at Politico simply looked at the TRACK RECORD of those behind the venture and concluded that the whole project was taking off on financial MOSQUITO LEGS.

AND IT CAME TO PASS THAT DE PA FINALLY RESHUFFLED HIS CABINET

Speculations about an impending reshuffle of the cabinet ended last Sunday. In the next few weeks we should be able to analyse issues from an informed position, including after possible clandestine briefings from those now sacked. Suddenly they will make themselves available to us again - no more secretaries telling us about their bosses were having endless meetings.

ATILLA’S SO-CALLED APOLOGY - TOTALLY REJECTED

Let nobody tell us that Rude Karaoke Minister was sincere about that rambling so-called apology he delivered on social media yesterday. As far as we are concerned we do not accept any such nonsense. And to attempt to use that as a path to political restoration is totally unacceptable. Sierra Leoneans are much more serious-minded than Karaoke Minister imagines.

A WEEK OF NATIONAL SHAME ENDS WITH MINISTERIAL SACKINGS

We can further confirm today that De Pa now sacks his ministers on MONDAYS. In the early days of De Pa's rule, ministers and senior officials were sacked on FRIDAYS. We've been told that the reason behind the shift from Friday is so that a sacked minister is able to clear his desk during the week and leave. It's only against that background that we are prepared to understand why it took De Pa so long to end rude and mediocre ministerial performance in that so-called Social Welfare Ministry.
