"THE WORLD CUP OF FRAUD"
BLATTER SCORES INCREDIBLE OWN GOAL
*WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO OUR DEAR MP FROM CONSTITUENCY 38?*
We are yet to officially hear from the Hon. Member of Parliament for constituency 38 on the question of how he came to be detained by police on
allegation that he violated Public Health Emergency laws relating to the preparation and burial of his father's corpse. First of all we sympathise with the MP for his loss but we really need him to speak out now. He could do it through a spokesman if the police deny him access to the media. We are very concerned because:
DID WE LEARN ANY LESSONS FROM THE AfDB ELECTION IN ABIDJAN?
In the end our candidate, Samura Kamara was the first person to be sent packing from the race to become AfDB president. We've said in this space that the man is more than competent for that job but from what we've now realised, it takes more than that to land a job as important as the presidency of the AfDB. Kamara should be back at his desk in our Foreign Ministry right now. We hope he has recovered sufficiently and is not distracted from his job back home by this AfDB issue.
EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY IN 2007: EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY IN 2015
The more things change, they say, the more they remain the same. The Red Movement started out in governance with an emergency power supply programme. Eight years on they are on their way back to the emergency power supply programme. The first such programme ended with an ACC indictment, we hope the latest one doesn't end that way. We can only hope because this country is spending so much money on trying to get electricity in our homes without getting the results we need.
NRA EXCEEDS TARGETS BUT SIERRA LEONEANS MISS ALL TARGETS
Recently, the NRA was all over the media celebrating that they had met the targets set for them by De Pa in terms of revenue generation for the tax year. We have nothing against the Lady Commissioner and her people but we absolutely believe that the tax system they are operating is totally unfair and on the wider question, it's not delivering what all tax systems promise. We don't necessarily blame them entirely.
