Democracy By Machete in Sierra Leone....Assistant Superintendent of Police Slashed By SLPP Supporters
Posted by Abu Bakarr Kargbo on Sep 4, 2007, 02:37
It would be recalled that the first rounds of the 1996 Presidential and Parliamentary elections were marred by violence. Voters in most of parts of the provincial towns of Bo, Kenema and Makeni suffered and their fore-limbs amputated by rebels dubbed sobels who were terrorizing these areas instilling fear and harassing a good number of them, thus preventing them from exercising their democratic rights in most of the areas. It was dubbed “Democracy by the bullet” by voters who were prevented from voting as the rebel who had aligned themselves with the soldiers demonstrated their unwillingness for the conduct of the elections. The NPRC junta headed by retired Brigadier Maada Bio supported peace before elections while the politicians wanted elections before peace. For the politicians, the peace before elections campaign was an excuse to prolong the stay of the Khaki boys in political office, since they were not able to end the war as promised; they were finding ways to stay in power and continue plundering the economy.
Failing to achieve their objective of peace before elections, crude and undemocratic methods were introduced.
However, after several closed door consultations and meetings with heads of the NPRC junta and the military, the Presidential run-off election between Alhaji Ahmad Tejan Kabbah (SLPP) and Karefa Smart (UNPP) was conducted under a very peaceful atmosphere with no reported cases of amputation, harassment or intimidation from the rebels, “sobels” or the military.
Just few days to the 2007 Presidential run –off election between Solomon Ekuma Berewa (SLPP) and Ernest Bai Koroma (APC), there has been reported cases of violence in the southeastern province and the city of Freetown between supporters of the two political parties. Last week, during one of his campaign tours in the provinces, the leader and Presidential Candidate of the APC was attacked in the town of Segbewema in the Kailahun district where the RUF commenced its onslaughts on the people of this country in March of 1991.
As if the attacks in the southeastern part of the country were not enough, Saturday 1st September 2007 saw part of the city of Freetown turned upside-down as political party supporters along Wallace Johnson Street brandished cutlasses, knives and other weapons.
The Administrative Officer attached to the Central Police Station, Assistant Superintendent of police, S.B. Kargbo was knifed by a political party supporter while performing his constitutional duty of protecting lives and properties.
Speaking to this reporter in an exclusive interview, Monday 3rd September 2007, the officer explained that he was in his office at the Central Police Station when he was informed by one of his junior officers about violence being perpetrated by youths around the government Wharf area.
“I was later informed that an Inspector of Police was handling the situation.” ASP Kargbo said, adding that few minute later he was told that the situation was getting out of control. “I ordered my men to prevent the violent youths from coming towards the station, but unfortunately they failed to realize that some of them had already gone towards Connaught Hospital” he noted, and when asked by the reporter to identify the youths, he said they are SLPP supporters who explained to police that they were retaliating against the APC supporters. “We advised them not to take the laws into their hands but they failed to listen to the police” ASP Kargbo explained. While holding discussions with his men about possible strategies they could use to disperse the protesters they saw one of the supporters with a sharp cutlass coming towards them while others were carrying bottles, stones and knives.
ASP Kargbo said, while trying to control the protesters that had already surrounded them during the period, one of them used a cutlass to strike him on his left arm. He was rushed to the Kingtom Police Hospital for medical treatment. Meanwhile, the police are having in their custody the suspect (name withheld) with the exhibit (cutlass).
Political observers have dubbed this year’s election “Democracy by Cutlass” stating that the politicians are using their supporters to intimidate the voters with the use of cutlasses, knives and other weapons.
According to AIG Chris Charley, police had no knowledge about cutlasses and other weapons stored around Wallace Johnson Street which are now being used against law enforcement officers. However, it is not known whether or not the suspect in police custody would be charged to court. The Administrative Officer ASP Kargbo is currently responding to medical treatment.
Few weeks back, the police patrol team arrested ten ex-combatants in a white Hilux van late at night and were detained at Jui, Hasting when unexpectedly others came from above to AIG David Sesay, head of the Operational Security Division (OSD) for their immediate release

SLPP supporter attacks Canadian journalist
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Canadian journalist, Robert McKee attached to the Eastern Radio FM 101.9 in Kenema, was on Wednesday assaulted at the city centre by one Foday Koroma, a popular photographer said to be an SLPP supporter.
McKee was part of the journalists’ team that was covering the visit of leaders of the All People’s Congress (APC), Ernest Bai Koroma, and the People’s Movement for Democratic Change (PMDC), Charles Margai.
The convoy of the two leaders moved through Blama Road, Hangha Road, Humunya Avenue, Hangha Road, Koroma Street, Sumaila Street and unto the Kenema football field where hundreds of supporters were addressed by both leaders.
According to Philip Koroma, a journalist attached to the Eastern Radio and who was with Robert McKee, after the occasion McKee was still filming the moving crowd when some young men from the SLPP office came out and tried to remove his camera from the tripod.
But McKee held on to it while Foday Koroma assaulted him and removed the camera from him.
An operations officer at the Kenema police, Morie Kamara, appeared on the scene and retrieved the camera from the assaulting SLPP supporter and handed it back to the journalist.
McKee then went to the police and formally reported the matter.
He was issued with a medical paper and later went to the hospital. The police in Kenema are still investigating the matter.

Are we a bunch of brainless people without a paucity of common sense? Is this simply a case of greed that must suck Sierra Leone dry? Eight thousand dollars a month in an economy that punctautes poverty and famished citizens? I am hoping that John Karimu's reported salary is a false report intended to bestir jokes on COCORIOKO.

It will be proper for the APC to educate its supporters that the run-off is a constitutional provision and that the outcome must be respected. They should therefore not be given the impression that any one of the candidates will be the next President irrespective of the outcome of the result. We all must, as a matter of duty, stop those who are threatening the state with brutal and murderous war and genocide.

Be truthful sir, it is not the APC that should educate it supporters, it is rather the slpp that should educate it supporters that sierra leone does not belong to the slpp. It belongs to all sierra leoneans and every sierra leonean has the right to be a president. The way the slpp is doing things in this election is like no person from any other party or tribe is qualified or does not have the right to rule sierra leone but the slpp. I am a mende, but it is a disgrace to some of my mende brothers' behaviour in the slpp. The APC knows that the run-offs is a constitutional mandate and they are on the road campaigning for that. Otherwise, they will protest and sit down. No one in the APC/PMDC has ever said the run-off is not constitutional. They are telling their supporters to go out on the 8th and vote for APC. On the other hand, the SLPP is busy preventing the opposition from entering in some parts of the south/east. This is a big disgrace for the south/east in this modern age.

Even Kofi Annan stood by the SLPP Kabbah administration to use impunity against opponents.The British taxpayers never deny the SLPP big cash to provide essential services for Sierra Leoneans.
The ordinary people did not deny Kabbah SLPP two terms at State house. Many died in the process to secure the SLPP government. Guess what? Kabbah first idea is to kill military officers and allowed SLPP supporters took the law in their own hands by burning human beings alive and amputating those they will grab. Nobody was charged for all those terrible things and Kabbah also betrayed another loyal SLPP soldier, Hinga Norman. The SLPP governmnet received hundreds of millions of dollars to fix the mess. But instead of having good services for the people, Sierra Leone stagnated for the last ten years bottom the UNDP index.In its blatant disregard of the people, they appointed SLPP stalwarts in strategic postions at NEC in a bid to position itself for an election they thought is a foregone conclusion. Because, nobody wants to live with thieves, the people resist all threats and divulged all the secret plans of the SLPP.
The crux of the matter is that the SLPP has squandered all the money they got from the World to help the war ravaged Country and there is a great fear that if the APC wins, it will institutionalise a Commission of Enquiry and big guns will lose their jobs. Entire family members will not have access to state funds. Isata Jabbie is organising campaign in Kono to perpetuate her own grip in Sierra Leone's diamonds. We did hear that Momoh was promiscuous but, we never heard that his girl-friends were using threat in campaigns to prolong his stay in power. Goodness me, even ambassadors sent to be diplomats outside of Sierra Leone are now in the Country fighting tooth and nail to see a Berewa presidency.The SLPP is so desperate that even the poor people in Kailaihun, Pujehun, Bo and Moyamba have been brainwashed not to vote for APC. Their message on the air waves, telephone and other medium, is voting for the APC will result to them be obliterated on the face of the earth. What a way to grab power by all means.
Has Berewa thought that if he wins his presidency will be retarded! So many bridges to cross. The opposition he is facing will make it very difficult for him. There is no looking back, the opposition is in a victorious mood as it has full control of the legislatuive branch. Berewa demise from the political arena is inevitable. Cause Sierra Leone will not afford to fight another war between a Leader with a small minority in Parliament. The signs are that the people will definitely go for the APC/PMDC alliance. Had we not been told by the SLPP that they will win the elections outrightly because they have made inroads in the North and have full support in the Western area. This time their trumpet sound is that many PMDC supporters will not follow Charles Margai to the APC . But we have heard about the persecution of PMDc supporters in different parts of that region. The ball is on the SLPP court. few more days, they will have themselves to blame for starting a nasty campaign to afflict Sierra Leoneans.
The battle has been won. The SLPP damn the UN and its representatives in Sierra Leone. They bash competent electoral observers. They lamented the British help to Sierra Leone and even their chief propagandist Sylvia Blyden besmeared an International renowned experts, Madeline Albright. Ambassador Hull and Victor Angelo.Those are enemies in the eyes of a pesudo medico.cum journalist Sylvia Blyden . She sees them as obstacles to her party SLPP demise. SLPP fall is as a result of theivery,lies, tribalism, nepotism, human rights violations, malfeasance, corruption, and croynism.

Gberie does it again wilfully: Prof Jonathan Peters calls him politely to order!
Here, I’m talking to the jinni which always disturbs me when he doesn’t like what I’m writing. It happens every once on a while. .......he/ she /it messes up my spelling, punctures my punctuation, sometimes shuts down my computer in the middle of what I’m doing: this is to that fiend who/which caused me to start all over again and to lose some potent words that I had written: You didn’t like what I wrote? I’ll improve on it most severely just you wait! By the way, this is a piece of nothing, but you can mess it up again right now, and I’ll show you something that is not in this computer…...scumbag!
Is it possible that Professor Peters read and comprehended Lans Gberie’s who after his usual bla blah GBLAH, sums up with the BIG LIE:
“ The APC has only a corrupt one-party state and brutal, destructive ‘rebel’ war to show for its 27 years in power before their ignominious overthrow by derelict young officers in 1992. The party won’t campaign on this record, of course, but the idea of a ‘new’ APC is as convincing as the idea of a tooth fairy:”
Professor Peters read and comprehended Gberie and then wrote this bending over backwards to GB:
” Lansana Gberie has an international reputation for thoughtfulness, comprehensiveness, fairness and objectivity that he brings to this analysis entitled “The run-off polls: Fears & Hopes.” (See OPINION section).
Does it mean that Joe Peters purrs and concurs with Gberie’s insane conclusion? You comment on some of the trivialities but in all honesty miss out on his Parthian shot?
Professor Jonathan Peters – like some other professors before him, seems to be hedging his bets and talking politely and academically through both sides of his mouth. He has obviously joined the band; I mean the bandwagon with his fulsome encomiums of SLPP’s mouthpiece Lansana Gberie. The very name Lansana in the very present circumstance is loaded with what is unpleasantly reminiscent of the Brigadier Lansana who intervened militarily on behalf of Gberie's people, after the SLPP had lost the 1967 elections and the Governor - General had appointed Mr. Siaka Stevens Prime minister and requested that he form the next government since he commanded a majority in Parliament. No use in coming up with revisionist explanations because I was there and it’s possible that Gberie is privy to details about Brigadier Lansana and the coup, that I am unaware of – so he is free to chip in on his own behalf, and I will chip in with that which is deeply true.
The present situation is perilously close to the situation in 1967, with the APC also commanding a majority in Parliament, the difference now being that in 1967 Sierra Leone followed what was basically the Westminster model, and today the Republic of Sierra Leone, has a presidential system…….
It’s 3.30 a.m. and I need some shut eye, but later this morning, I intend to give Gberie one or two black eyes…….that’s more or less all that he deserves from me…..
I’ve been busy with other things and so he’ll get it this evening. Sorry about the delay……
As Bambay Lans Kamara made clear yesterday:
"....... talking about political whores, I think you are talking of the S.L.P.P. It is unfortunate that you were not in Sierra Leone especially during the One Party System, during which current S.L.P.P. supporters were vibrant A.P.C. members. In fact, the country did not start going downhill until after they joined the A.P.C. when the country became a One Party System."

"Every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle. We
have called by different names brethren of the same principle."
-- Thomas Jefferson (First Inaugural Address, 4 March 1801)
After this I have an appointment to keep and then I have to attend to Gberie. I will be vely velly nice to him (to what he has written) but won’t go for the jugular (Berewa’s jugular) that’s when he crosses my invisible line - and I’m not Paul Kamara or Philip Neville or nice Krio boy Joe Peters, whose ancestor Thomas Peters is said to be the founder of FREE-TOWN.
Tin god? Yes he thinks that he is very powerful. A tin god with a raffia skirt made from the palm fronds of his party symbol sometimes dressed in a grey Sunday school suit. The Palm Tree is stronger than he.
Tin god? Some say “astafulai” others “astagfirullah”
Tin god? As Sheikh Nasrallah would say, about this particular puny tin god, he’s weaker than a spider web” In fact his time is soon over.
If he wins, he will face unending legal wahala.
If he does not win, more legal wahala apart from the large portion of blame that will be the legacy of Mr. Kabbah. As professor AKB pointed out on that VOA programme, Kabbah “forced Berewa down the people’s throat” perhaps with the intention of destroying the SLPP, having kidnapped the party from its rightful owners. That will be the beginning of the SLPP’s post –mortem, when Gberie and other apologists “reflect” on what went wrong. What went wrong? What went wrong with their strategy, their calumnies, their concentration on matters such as the APC of 1968-1991 - and the state of the world and indeed the world economy after OPEC hiked the oil price in 1974). Their election campaign has not concentrated on their own record of being the most corrupt government that has ever been inflicted on the people of Sierra Leone, since time began.
What does Berewa have to boast about?
That he master-minded this and that when he was directed from start to his impending finish and dictated to – what to do – what to write – his long way to Lomé – and he has no plans of his own
( apart from the diabolical, not the communion but the flesh and blood cannibal gestated in his own chest - the flesh and blood cannibal instinct that shipped his brother Hinga down river - and I say cannibal in the Islamic sense in the sense in which the prophet of Islam salallahu alaihi wa salaam meant “ Do not eat your brothers flesh” and wanting for yourself what you want for your brother, and leave it to the erudite Muslims at the Fullahtong mosque to explain what I meant to the Bee – I have no time for petty explanations outside of a Court of Law.
What else does Berewa boast about apart from Sierra Leone’s 75% donor-driven economy, in which he is told do this and don’t do that? Indeed – “Men are sometimes masters of their fate …….and if you elect Berewa then the fault will be all yours – you will be to blame.“
Berewa cannot boast about corruption – although to date, he might be boasting about what he has got away with up till now.
Is it any wonder that the SLPP wanted to pass protective legislation, before leaving office?
Legislation that would protect them from legal prosecution for crimes that they “may have committed” whilst in office? If Berewa perishes in disappointment and is cast into overnight oblivion, the road to the ultimate dust will be paved with a many questions that he will have to answer, Hassan’s charge being only one of them.
Gberie will by that time be doing overtime as “His Master’s voice” or also hiding in abeyance. And he can fool those who can think and read, some of the time with stilted verbiage on Patriotic Vanguard’s prime time where he meets decorous pussyfooting verbal resistance from Sierra Leone’s academics e.g. Professor Joe Peters. What would be better would be for Berewa to start getting his defence team together – in that al-Jazzera interview Kabbah says, he’s gonna be around for a while – well I doubt that Berewa has the competence to defend himself or Kabbah or both of them …….. And they had also set Omrie Golley free….although they are probably more interested in his cash than in Justice or in treating him justly. Golley has been framed and is now over a year in detention on the basis of some spurious accusation from the evil Kabbah and Berewa. Once they have access to his money, it’s improbable that he will survive in jail -. Foday Sankoh did not survive either, and some of the truths he could have revealed have been buried with him. Kabbah wants to survive forever through Berewa.
I’m in the mood of prayer, I feel article twelve of the AMIDAH:
“As for the slanderers, let there be no hope
and may all wickedness perish in an instant
and may all our enemies be cut down speedily
And those wanton sinners, may the Almighty speedily UPROOT, SMASH, CUT DOWN, CAST DOWN and HUMBLE speedily, these days!
Blessed is the Almighty Who breaks enemies and humbles wanton sinners!”
The SLPP is not full of puny men, so why have the SLPP allowed the Party of Sir Milton and Sir Albert to be taken over by some new and outsider mediocrities and kleptomaniacs? It’s a question that I pose to someone outstanding like Ngoh Arthur Abrahams for whom I have great respect – not that I agree or will ever agree with all that he has to say , has said or will say, because we are not birds of the same feather.
Below is the kind of mentation that will be crossing the minds of some SLPPErs:
“Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world
Like a Colossus, and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs and peep about
To find ourselves dishonourable graves.
Men at some time are masters of their fates:
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.
Brutus and Caesar: what should be in that 'Caesar'?
Why should that name be sounded more than yours?
Write them together, yours is as fair a name;
Sound them, it doth become the mouth as well;
Weigh them, it is as heavy; conjure with 'em,
Brutus will start a spirit as soon as Caesar.
Now, in the names of all the gods at once,
Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed,
That he is grown so great? Age, thou art shamed!
Rome, thou hast lost the breed of noble bloods!
When went there by an age, since the great flood,
But it was famed with more than with one man?
When could they say till now, that talk'd of Rome,
That her wide walls encompass'd but one man?
Now is it Rome indeed and room enough,
When there is in it but one only man.
O, you and I have heard our fathers say,
There was a Brutus once that would have brook'd
The eternal devil to keep his state in Rome
As easily as a king.”

Moron,
We are talking about the most corrupt post-independent government that the people of Sierra Leone have ever had (a loans and donations-dependent government and you are asking if we the people have “the might” to bring them to Justice?
WE may not have what appears to be “the might” – according to your fantasy, but we certainly have the right, and you could ask Alieu Iscandari Esq if I am right or wrong about that.
IN a Court case, evidence would be of the uttermost importance.
It’s the corrupt SLPP government of the past ten years that is on trial not me.
“ Took an untrodden path once, where the swift don't win the race,
It goes to the worthy, who can divide the word of truth.
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face
And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth ( BOB DYLAN)
Do you have inkling of what this represents
http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&q=The+statute+of+Liberty
There's another headline by one of your own people Moiwa entitled "APC MUST EDUCATE ITS SUPPORTERS" and they had better start with you - send you to school to learn how to read and understand what you read. Whether it’s long or short – or from your point of view, boring. like Berewa. Your not so eloquent Berewa who ran away from debating Ernest Bai Koroma and Hon. Charles Francis Margai
.
When short is long for you, I'm sure that you never even read The Pilgrims progress... but when anyway I’ll oblige with an answer to your question, don’t know if you are capable of understanding a simple thing like this, and I'm under no compulsion: Your first question " Why will an election victory for Berewa lead to LEGAL WAHALA?" because he has some serious charges that he will be facing (you want the details? With his permission you get a preview of the tip of that iceberg.
2. “Do you and your cronies have the legal might to fight the SLPP GOVERNMENT?”
If is out of your SLPP contaminated mindset that you ask such a ridiculous question, that when a corrupt and politically inept midget like Berewa, who is nothing but a chicken lawyer both by education (knowledge of the law which he flouts, by virtue of his vice presidential immunity as legal cover) and puny by legal skill, he couldn’t defend a butterfly let alone himself.
Let me tell you, in a democracy in which each citizen had his full rights, Omrie Golley would not be languishing in jail for over a year now when no case has been brought and proved against him – in Sierra Leone parlance nah ADVANTAGE – they, the criminal Kabbah and Berewa are taking advantage of their political position to keep him there.
Yes, in a democracy we would not be talking about “Does so and so have the legal might to fight your most corrupt government which was not being protected by a pliant and entirely compromised judiciary. IN a real democracy in which there was a true separation of powers, we would be talking about the MIGHT of the LAW of Justice’s might not the power of your most corrupt SLPP. You think Berewa is a great or anything more than a very ordinary lawyer? As Henery Joko Smart who is twice the legal man that a puny fellow like Berewa would ever be.
Can the SLPP challenge impartial Justice?
Did your “ mighty” SLPP set up a Commission of Inquiry to investigate many discrepancies the astronomical sums of the people’s monies that have gone missing whilst under SLPP custody according to the auditor general’s reports of 2003 2004, 2005, 2006 ?
You sound like the most intimate friend of the corrupt elite but you are more ignorant and more innocent than them.
But the charges of corruption I have in mind come from other places and involve some very real people.
Yes, I personally have the legal might to prosecute them , put togthere a good team of lawyers from Ghana and Nigeria if I should so want to do so and make sure that the people in question do not escape the justice that’s coming to them……… but I do understand that as individual and frail human beings, even in public office ,where we are supposed to be the servants of the people - and not the MIGHTY ones, we should appeal to the ALMIGHTY*s attributes of mercy - a quality with which we should qualify ourselves – and not appeal to the Lord’s strict Justice , which would leave no one in the SLPP standing……
Alieu Sesay, please understand who you are talking to, in own imagination….
Berewa is too weak (not mighty) to debate with even someone like me, not to mention to defend himself against a real team of lawyers who really want to put him where he truly belongs: behind bars.
I don’t want to do that.
Now be a good boy and don’t provoke me any further. Loonta.

Well to answer your question so that my guys don't have to pull out your remaining teeth and grind them.
Let’s take the matter of teeth. In Sierra Leone we have a total of FIVE DENTISTS to take care of a population of more than FIVE MILLION PEOPLE...Surely your SLPP govt could have done better than that?
Because you guys live in such conditions, you imagine that the Swedish people are toothless? Toothlessness is not part of Sweden’s National Health Policy......
Or perhaps you are musing about that your most toothless chimpanzee of the SLPP? He knows who he is.....
I know that my classmate George Morgan ( same family as Tommy Morgan ,Pharmacist and one time Minster of Finance) (JERU MAN -A-WAR we called George, who was once vocalist in Desmond Easmon’s Tornadoes STUDIED DENTISTRY : I wonder if he’s in Bo, Kenema or Freetown, taking care of the people’s teeth?
In my day in Freetown, we had Rekab, Francis Gordon, and Cummings (my dentist)
Every other Iranian who lives in Sweden is a qualified, Swedish-trained DENTIST and the next Sierra Leone government could send some people over here to train, so that you can smile in the night and show your white teeth...... otherwise we'll only see a dark gap below your eye shining like flash lights.....

SIERRA LEONE AT CROSSROADS
Sierra Leone has been on focus for a couple of weeks now. The international community has been eyeing that country for long, and since the August 11 elections, there has been an indubitable conviction that Sierra Leone is adding itself to the list of counties in which democracy has become a matter of reality. Albeit NEC held the breathe of the country for nearly two weeks following the ballot of August 11, the entire election process as been declared by both Sierra Leoneans and the international community alike as free, fair and credible. This, to my mind, is the highest possible positive descr1ption an election procedure has accrued in an African state. NEC has been apportioned credibility for the conduct of the elections during which Sierra Leoneans showed highest sense of maturity. We should be proud of ourselves so far. I have an unhesitating conviction that NEC will continue to manifest transparency, non-partisanship and exactitude in a manner that will reflect the acquired credibility. My appeal to all Sierra Leoneans therefore, is that we should continue to exercise maximum restraint down the road to the presidential runoff. Let us damn violence and rebuke those perpetrating it; there is no virtue in violence of any kind.
That said, I will go down to the task lying ahead of us all. We are now at crossroads. On Saturday, September 8, Sierra Leoneans will again have the opportunity to decide on their future. They will cast their votes either for SLPP Berewa or APC Koroma, so that whosoever gets the majority votes shall direct and control the affairs of state for the next five years. As we cast our votes on that day, we should be cognisant of the fact that we will invariably be placing our affairs into the hands of a single person. We shouldn’t forget that whoever we vote for will be mandated to man our affairs for the next five years. In other words, we should be mindful of where to cast our votes.
I would want us to be reminiscent of the achievements of the political parties in question, as well as examine the agenda they have prepared. There are those who believe that the SLPP has not done well, not to say it didn’t do anything at all in the past five years. A lot of the SLPP traditional voters voted for the PMDC on August 11 on this bone of contention. It was a protest vote; it was a vote meant to tell the SLPP that they were there and that they do matter. Those who descended on the SLPP on August 11 have a point and I am of the conviction that the message has come home; it has been fully digested by those at the helm of power. The SLPP will readjust itself. Let us consider the fact though that the SLPP is not infallible; it has shortfalls just like any one of us has shortcomings. And we don’t intent to subterfuge blames. However, now that the message has come across the SLPP ranks and files, things will be rectified. We should therefore make the singular prudential decision of voting for SLPP Berewa on September 8. Berewa and SLPP stand for continuity; this fact cannot be more underscored. It entails that we will be able to enjoy democracy for the next five years if Berewa is voted president. We will be able to sing songs like Borboh-Bele, Corruption-Corruption, Swegbeh and a host others and dance to the tunes without fear of intimidation or imprisonment. Doubtlessly, we won’t be able to do that if the APC is given power. We all know that the APC is allergic to democracy; they don’t know to protect the basic individual right including the freedom of expression and they hate any form of opposition. The SLPP made it possible for the elections to be as credible as the international community and Sierra Leoneans have certified it. That is commendable. The APC would only have conducted a charade of an election, not to say they wouldn’t have conducted it at all. Let us peep a few years back and we will see the footprints of APC political hooliganism and gangsterism and economic ruination all over the landscape of Sierra Leone.
Dear Sierra Leoneans, let us reflect on some of the issues we have been entangled with already. Let us remember that freedom, the rule of law and order and democracy are precious commodities which only the SLPP can guarantee us. If one doesn’t quite appreciate what it looks like to lose one’s freedom for instance, ask those who were placed under siege during the APC gruesome years or ask those who personally experienced the dark days of the rebel RUF/AFRC combination. The APC cannot give us these basic commodities. The APC has an incorrigible habit of nepotism, favouritism, bribery and corruption. They compromised the state to feed their horrible egos. Their track record solidifies this incontrovertible truth. The APC Koroma wants to bring back the ignoble days of Stevens and Momoh; he otherwise has no concepts. But anything Siaka Stevens or Joseph Momoh is bad omen for Sierra Leone. We should slap the APC intention in the face; we should reject it outright. For refreshing memory, Siaka Stevens baked thuggery and introduced it to the political scenarios of the country. He abolished democracy, imposed a one party state on us and converted democratic elections into selection. Besides, it was during the rule of Siaka Stevens that the country toed the line of economic decadence. In other words, successive regimes of the APC relegated the nation to poverty, hunger, starvation and privation. We will never forget. Let us also don’t forget that the APC will mete out mayhem to us if given another opportunity.
The APC says that the SLPP is a devil; it had debarred progress and refused to deliver to the people. Nothing can be stranger. If the SLPP is a devil, giving its achievements, the APC can only be Satan, the greatest devil. Therefore, I want to admonish you all to vote for the lesser of the two evils. The SLPP might not transform Freetown into London overnight, nor can it bring Sierra Leone to the standard of England in a few years, but sure, the SLPP will do its job. Building up a nation that has been ravened and wrecked by war is a mammoth task. And let us don’t forget that it takes time to do anything well if you are impecunious and live on the goodwill of donor countries. Remember further, that Rome, they say, was not built in a day and that Germany, one the leading industrial nations in the world today took decades to attain that position after World War II. Sierra Leone is just releasing itself from the pangs of a cruel rebel war; Sierra Leone is still at loggerheads with the relics of the brutal rebel war. But surely, Sierra Leone will grow up. Trust the SLPP Berewa; he has the charisma and efficacy for development and will place the development of the country on top of his agenda.
Dear comrades, the SLPP has been doing its best, albeit we acknowledge that some mistakes have been done, inadvertently. Sierra Leone can however be rest assured that the SLPP will recuperate entirely from any form of malaise that kept it at bay during the past years. The SLPP will deliver if allowed to continue. We must deliver because we know that we would be checked through the various democratic institutions already established, if not by the voters at the end of the day. The red light warnings are unmistakingly clear; some giant stride has to be taken and things have to be set aright.
Fellow countrymen, let us give SLPP a chance. They will surely deliver this time. Let us vote Berewa for president. By doing so, we will be voting for the continuation of peace and tranquillity, for democracy, rule of law and we will be voting to safeguard our basic human rights. Let us don’t make any mistake; we will be otherwise held responsible and more so, we will stand to pay dearly for it. Besides, posterity will condemn us. Let us go to the polling stations in our numbers on Saturday, September 8, and vote for SLPP Solo B. WUTETEH!
LONG LIVE SIERRA LEONE AND GOD BLESS US ALL.

Secretary General, SLPP Germany.

I had a friend called Dominic who was burnt alive by the kamajors because they wanted to take his mother's house and he resisted them. A lot of things happened that should not have happened and after it happened the government should have taken action to prove to the nation that they were not condoning it. They never did instead they praised the assailants.

Head of Outreach and Public Relations of the National Electoral Commission (NEC), Miatta French Thursday disclosed that the Publicity Secretary of Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP) Victory Reider must know that the elections are conducted by NEC and not his party.
French's statement came after Reider told the Commission, at a consultative meeting organised by its Western Area office in Freetown, not to display preliminary results at polling stations countrywide "if they should prevent the people from miscalculating." This, he said, "was responsible for the wrong results given to the public in the first round, which does not augur well for the electioneering process." French said: "It is not Victor Reider that is running the elections but the Chairman of NEC, Dr. Christiana Thorpe. The statement made by Reider is not an issue for us. He is not an authority," she said, adding that his thoughts were mere wishful thinking.She explained that the same procedures they adopted in the August 11 polls are going to be followed in the run-off slated for September 8."As far I am concerned the statement made by Victor Reider is a non-event. We are not following people's opinions but procedures. We have laid down procedures which we follow," she said.
According to her, the Commission is yet to change its procedures and when the procedures are changed the public will be duly informed. The only person, she said, who has the authority to change the producers is the Commission's Chairperson.
However, Victor Reider said they were merely suggesting that copies of results said to have been displayed at polling stations be withheld and such results be previewed only by the district electoral officer and another copy sent to NEC headquarters.
"In effect we are saying that only two copies should be recorded and not three as was the case in the previous elections," he said.
Meanwhile, subject to Chapter IV, Section 33 of the 1991 Constitution " the Electoral Commission shall be responsible for the conduct and supervision of the registration of voters for, and of, all public elections and referenda; and for that purpose shall have power to make regulations by statutory instrument for the registration of voters, the conduct of Presidential, Parliamentary or Local Government elections and referenda, and other matters connected therewith, including regulations for voting by proxy."

Victor Reider is reading from the old book of 'How to rig African Elections -chapter 7 paragraph 3. Which states that the results should not be posted at the polling station for all to see, but should be conveyed to the headquarters during which results from the north can be intercepted and or be declare void.
This book has 99 chapters and there has only been one Sierra Leonean that has read all chapters. AGBA SATANI
Victor Reider, I must declare is very stupid. Does he know who funded these elections?
The APC are going to send women to be their election observers. Women will cool the tensions so that Slppers will they hope(APC) will show their softer side and not revert to violence. At the end of counting at every polling station the results are signed off by both parties and declared to the world via the net. CHANCE NOR FOR DAY FOR RIG!

Arthur Abraham sounds support for SLPP
Arthur Abraham, one of Sierra Leone’s academics, has reportedly told the media in Sierra Leone from USA that 2007 is really Vice President Berewa’s time and not for the PMDC nor the APC. The Social and Political Historian further noted that the current trends in Sierra Leone’s geographical dynamics indicate a more than average leaning towards the SLPP re-emergence following elections in 2007. According to reports, he asserts that there is no indication pointing positively to the direction of the vociferous PMDC. "The fact is that traditional SLPP bases remain virtually intact as were prior to the election in 1996," Arthur Abraham was quoted as saying.

You know, since the last election, I have seen Cocorioko and its forum degenerate into a receptacle for all that is negative about Sierra Leone. I have slowly observed a forum and editorial body that I once admired degenerate into a vehicle for parochial and monofocal views bent solely on magnifying the divisions that already exist in our native Sierra Leone.
I do not want to engage in regional and tribal politicking and sincerely do pray that God grant us a leader who has the best interest of the country at heart.
However for some mediocre academic to use this forum to label Arthur Abraham as a pseudo intellectual really leaves me wondering if the entity that wrote that piece really knows the true meaning of the term pseudo, or if it is a new term he came across and decided to use so as to continue the perpuation of the academic decline this forum has sank into.
Please just make the effort to google Arthur Abraham if you know what I mean. Don't let your tendencies blind you to the true potential of your fellow Sierra Leoneans. You may disagree with people, but that does not make them less than what they are or make you more than what you are.

This is rather old and baseless; as it turns out, Karmoh Arthur Abraham never said anything about Berewa or the SLPP winning the 2007 elections. He knows better.
Also, Karmoh is not a pseudo-academic. To know the man is to respect his humanity and admire his intellect. He is perhaps the leading Sierra Leonean historian of his generation and I have nothing but respect and admiration for one of the most engaging informal mentors I have encountered in my life.
So please take it easy on Karmoh. He never said those words.

If rigged na dombolo go forddum.The Army might step in and re-run the elections. And we all know the army does not like some Party in particular. Nor does the International Community.(see Ukranaine Elections)
Go back the history of S/L coups. The first coup was SLPP organised but was countered because of the Lansana and Norman(Mende) element. The 1992 NPRC coup was also a machination of SLPP bosses. But Strasser happened to be the senior officer after Col ****** (i've forgotten his name. He had cold feet plus he was not a southerner- later executed by Sarge). Maada later saw to that by kicking Strasser out so that he could hand over to John Ben Karimu and Berewa. Yes they were NUP bosses.
The AFRC coup was said to be a northern coup against the SLPP which was why Berewa did away with the 24 officers. An ACt that he will never be able to wash his hands off.
So if a state off emergency is called it will back- fire as Mondeh has no sway in the army. This has been the reason a state of emergency has not been called. If the Army take over and conduct the elections I will bet my house the APC will win.
To further convince you, could you tell me the constituency results of areas that have a barracks?
I must confess that things are tight at the moment, but the ball is in Berwa's court . If he volleys outside the base line it is game over for him and his caboodle big time!! If I were him I would at this moment broker an amnesty(which he did not grant Kula Samba an others)with Charles and Ernest. They are honourable men.
So you see the forces that are at play? you na nor Stagga oh. Did you see the youths rise up against the SLPP Headquarters? They want a change. To be fair to yourself do you not think so?

As a lame observer, I believe that the 'NEW' bunch of APC have a personal bone to crush with the SLPP as so many of the them had once served in the SLPP government and are troubled that if they allow the government that sent them packing continues to rule will totally wipe them off the face of this earth. Such personal grievance perturbs me. The like of Charles, Grant, Tejan-Jalloh, etc etc. I sure hope they will understand that a win for Berewa will be a benefit for the nation. Sierra leone is not a personal property. Berewa losing will do the same - stay in opposition. Let decency be the norm and the country above all politics.

the Borough you live in will turn out its councellors in one term if your dustbin is not cleared on time let alone not fund approprately school diner and hot lunches for the elderly.
I tell you if Ernest and the APC do not perform in the next five years(assuming APC win)he will not be given a second term. That is the mood of the people.
When Momoh did not perform was it not the populace that sanctioned the NPRC? Did the populace not sit at home and contribute to the down fall of the AFRC so that Kabba could come back and fulfill his promises to the people?
Chez you have no concept of what the common man has sufferd these past fifteen years!!

basco, we have had a relatively stable environment in the last ten years. Refresh your memory - we went through 24+ years of APC mismangement and as your rightly said got booted out by NPRC but in the interim of been booted out we had an 11 years of civil strife. The SLPP inherited these two ills and successfully, with the help of the international community and the understanding of our people, brought us peace and stability. yes, some ills were done - lot of corruption by members of our communities now in your party and also in the SLPP.
I have had my heart in Sierra leone - i cannot go there because I know I will step on toes, even within my party. God's time for me to go will come. My days and years outside my homeland has always troubled me. i have set up businesses, awarded scholarships through my various outfits to my people in the last 17 years i have been in the UK. techological advancement has made me to feel as if I am right in the heart of the country. I get video recordings every week of events and places to help me contribute in the development of our people.
Our people need to uplift themselves by using the resources the have at hand. I will give you a story - i had a co-ordinator on one of my projects in Freetown. he registered his project and recieved all the money due to start the project. The funds were placed in a bank account. He used the money to buy himself a land and commence constructing a house. i was able to know with months of him commencing through other projects that he did not know about that we had connection. The mentality of our people should at least be geared towards progress. We cannot have the government do everything for us. The government can promise and guarantee us a peaceful and stable environment. in my boioks thatis all i need. When I was young in Sierra leone, my mother and father had divorced and we stayed with our mother and grandmother. my father had all the money but my mother was the average business woman. During my hoilidays, i will ask them to give me some of the wares to go and sell in order to make money for myself. I had nine brothers and sisters and all were too ashamed to do this. i was not. I will work from the centre of town to hastings selling from door to door. By the end of the day I would have made three times the profit. i will give my mother her money and i will save some for myself. i wdid the same thing with my grandma in kambia - I will go to the 'Luma' and take her 'lace and curtin' wares to sell during the three day market event. i will make profit and i was always with money that even my schools teachers do not have. at school, i will encourage young boys to open accounts at the post office and most school groups were able to save successfully using the post office. i do not have to wait for a government to help me advance myself. All I require is that stable environment - i will create opportunities.
Another thing I did that i sometimes wonder, how I got away with it was when I was at CKC. I will go to the car park in mahei Boima Road and write letters for my Temne people and they will give me money. It all started oneday when i came from the hospital, i decided to go and see a relative who worked at Commercial insurance in Bo. I left his office and on my way a man called me and asked me to help him write a letter. I did without charging him. He asked me to read back the letter to him and I did. He was pleased and gave me money. Money that lasted for a week as lunch money. After that incident, I will always make sure i go to the park and help these people with their letters. Out of suffering comes a better person - a determined character.
Laziness by many of our people calls for all the complains.
basco, i understand that i am not like everybody but the one thing we should be thankful of is that under the kabba (a man I detest because of his myopia) government we had a relatively stable and peaceful environment.
I trust berewa can make it better for us. i have no confidence in the way APC will want to govern us. So many of your hungry guys are now going from office to office threatening workers that they should pack up and leave - " have you not heard - we have won - you should leave now" - i laugh when i hear these stories. i am afraid of an APC win - if it happens we just pray God will come into their hearts.

Chez, It's rather sad for someone being unable to visit their country of birth for whatever reason.
I'm not going to judge you based on your inability to visit your country, but what I would say to you is, please do not dwell on the past so much, we're in a modern age and should look farward for the future. The so-called era of "27 years of APC rule" is been used by people like you to justify present mal-administrations. Infact, I would expect any decent Sierra Leonean to send thrashing criticism to their party if that party performs as bad as the SLPP has done in the past ten years (10 years is a generation) so don't forget. This does not mean you'll not vote for them but if you continue to defend and protect your party because of an APC's 27 years mis-rule of which 40% of it is from southeast without any message of disatisfation for their performance, I'm afraid you're aiding and abetting cruption, supression and mal-practices.
Maybe you're so wealthy that if you decide to settle in Sierra Leone, you will not be detered by the filth, lack of water and electricity. If that's the case, then you're selfish as the bulk of the population can live like you.

I wonder why people who hardly see elctricity or drink clean water will buy that thought coming from the Nyumas, Karimus, Benjamins,Banyas and others.
If the poor will accept stone for bread tbis time, then they will continue to live in squalor and thatched roof the rest of their life.
The SLPP apologists including Joe Alie Lans Gberie, the Kallons and others say that One billion dollars is a pittance that cannot be used to build decent hospitals, good roads , sustained agriculture and better services. They say that the SLPP has spend themoney to creat an anti corruption unit, free press, NASSIT , professional police and army and good judiciary. These above names see only progress since the SLPP took the reign of government. They hardly saw the killing of innocent civilians and blatantly hide the recklessness of the SLPP in awarding governmnet contacts and the appointment of public servants. The above people see no problem when four of ardent SLPP members are senior figure at the National Electoral Commission.
Awarenesstimes has problem with the UN and Interntional elactoral observers because their present will open the way for fair play and impartiality.
4 days more, the fight is between good and evil. It is between distorted historians and writers against impoverished people who will only use one weapon taht is a ballot paper.
Who will win?
The ignoramus who had memorised their way to grab educaional title nefariously will continue to paint a good picture of an SLPP that is empty of moral virtues but, the poor masses whom poverty is all what they know will surely send thieves in the SLPP packing for an eventual demise.

the billion of aid that was allocated is pittance, How much of it reached sierra leone or was spent on expatriates. Sierra Leone needs tens of billions to build the infrastructure to attract foreign investment. We produce no products that western consumers will buy and our people are plagued by a dependency culture that deters progress.
SLPP is not blame free, at least they preserved our democracy in which an oposition can possibly defeat an incumbent. Try that in ZImbabwe.
By the way, BErewa will defeat koroma in a free and fair runoff. The issue whether the thugs from the APC rank & file will accept defeat.

Exposed: Senior United Nations Staff Caused Rigging of Sierra Leone Election - Valenzuela implicated
By Special Investigative Team
Sep 3, 2007, 18:22
Angelo Oversaw Criminal Conduct by Carlos Valenzuela Team which led to rigging of August 11 Elections
When a foreigner comes into another man’s country and breaks their laid down rules and laws, he is deemed to have engaged in criminal conduct. Even if the foreigner was sent here by the United Nations, contravening the laid down laws of Sierra Leone is tantamount to criminal conduct and evidence now available to this newspaper shows that the Carlos Valenzuela headed United Nations’ Technical Team attached to Sierra Leone’s National Electoral Commission (NEC) have systematically broken our Electoral Laws of 2002 which actions have now enabled certain persons to rig the last August 11 Elections.
Ghost Names in Voter’s Register
+
Fake Indelible Ink
+
W H I T E X
=
Totally Rigged Elections!
We have investigated and found out from sources in Iraq and the United States that Valenzuela, who headed the Electoral Commission in Iraq, had to leave Iraq with his name listed number one on a list of most hated people who should be executed. The reports of how Valenzuela reportedly rigged the Iraqi elections abound and a quick investigative journalism will show that many Iraqis felt short-changed after Valenzuela conducted those elections.
However, Carlos Valenzuela with the assistance of the National Democratic Institute (NDI) where Arturo Valenzuela is a member of the Board, left Iraq with the conduct of the elections safely under his belt as "free and fair" according to the NDI.
From Iraq, Valenzuela arrived eventually in Sierra Leone though we are yet to hear from Victor Angelo just how it was that he arrived here (Sole Sourcing?)
In Iraq, Valenzuela ignored earlier laid down Iraqi Laws. The Americans, simply made up their own brand new Electoral Laws and Electoral Rules along the way for Valenzuela to go by. No problemo!
In Sierra Leone, Valenzuela met us already with our own laws but yet still, the evidence abounds that Valenzuela, for whatever reason, decided to contravene our laid down laws and proceed to undertake actions that have now resulted in the rigging of the August 11th 2007 Elections.
The concern now by many Sierra Leoneans who have since learnt of the Valenzuela efforts, is that if steps are not immediately taken to counter the conduct of Valenzuela, the upcoming Run-Off Elections will also get rigged.
For lack of space, Awareness Times will today list two developments which ensured rigging of last elections. Next edition, we will expound more.
1. FLAWED VOTER REGISTRATION: Our Electoral Laws are very clear. Sections 17, 19, 20 and 21 of the 2002 Electoral Laws of Sierra Leone were all openly flounted by the Carlos Valenzuela Technical Team. The result of the flawed process is that no opportunity was given to Sierra Leoneans to freely examine the Voter Register and challenge any fake names that would be listed as living in a particular ward or section.
Infact, the Provisional Voter’s Register was never openly displayed and the Final Voter’s Register at NEC is said to be guarded like Fort Knox by the UN Technical Team when in fact, according to our laws of the land, it should be easily accessible.
Information now available to this newspaper shows that many of the names listed down on the National Voters’ Register were ‘Ghosts’(ie: Non-Existent Fake Names!) and that moves were deliberately undertaken to swell the Register with such Ghost Names.
Additionally, information now in the possession of Awareness Times shows that hundreds and hundreds of Sierra Leonean citizens became disenfranchised on Elections Day when they went to vote and found out that their names had mysteriously disappeared from the Voter’s Register even though they possessed authentic Voter ID Cards.
Allegations are that those names were deliberately removed and other names inserted into their place. No-one seems to be able to give any plausible explanation so far for this anomaly and Victor Angelo who endorsed everything the Valenzuela Technical Team undertook, is not answering questions posed to him.

In a subsequent edition, we will take a look at the Ballot Paper and Counterfoil. In the interim, many Sierra Leoneans are now calling for the Indelible Ink issue to be looked into and for the steps to be taken to totally block ‘Ghosts’ from voting this Saturday and to also allow the disenfranchised voters to cast their votes during the Run-off.

Indeed even the newly decorated darling of the SLPP is AWARE of rigging. Are we to assume that Berewa is still is not?
http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/CC61DE6A-896E-4A5F-825E-7232D16B1B29.htm
What reason was there for Berewa’s certainty in predicting a 75% landslide victory for himself in the first round? And on Saturday?
There are those who are prepared to pray to devil their boss, in order to become president of Sierra Leone, before they go to the fire…..

Al Jazeera asked Mr. Kabbah” Do you have any regrets?”
Kabbah: “I have none. I’m very happy………
The alJazeera interviewer kindly reminded him:” An estimated 50,000 people died, surely you must have some regrets?”
Kabbah:” I regret that the people died of course (including the 24 who he executed?) I regret that so many of my people suffered………..but we have taken measures to address all those, and for that reason I feel VERY GOOD that my contribution has been useful”
We should be taking what Karmor AKB said, much more seriously.
He said
1. ” Employing three different exponential
smoothing techniques (conservative, moderate and radical) and a Box-
Jenkins model to analyze the reported results, the number of registered
voters by region and the estimated percentage vote, it is quite evident that there will be no run-off.”
2. “From the analysis and computer printouts of the different programs, a run-off is only possible because of yuki-yuki. And that, Karmor Cornelius, could be a big mistake. Let's wait and see from now until many months, or even several years, later.”

Angelo Oversaw Criminal Conduct by Carlos Valenzuela Team which led to rigging of August 11 Elections
When a foreigner comes into another man’s country and breaks their laid down rules and laws, he is deemed to have engaged in criminal conduct. Even if the foreigner was sent here by the United Nations, contravening the laid down laws of Sierra Leone is tantamount to criminal conduct and evidence now available to this newspaper shows that the Carlos Valenzuela headed United Nations’ Technical Team attached to Sierra Leone’s National Electoral Commission (NEC) have systematically broken our Electoral Laws of 2002 which actions have now enabled certain persons to rig the last August 11 Elections.
Ghost Names in Voter’s Register
+
FAKE INDELIBLE INK

=
Totally Rigged Elections!
We have investigated and found out from sources in Iraq and the United States that Valenzuela, who headed the Electoral Commission in Iraq, had to leave Iraq with his name listed number one on a list of most hated people who should be executed. The reports of how Valenzuela reportedly rigged the Iraqi elections abound and a quick investigative journalism will show that many Iraqis felt short-changed after Valenzuela conducted those elections.
However, Carlos Valenzuela with the assistance of the National Democratic Institute (NDI) where Arturo Valenzuela is a member of the Board, left Iraq with the conduct of the elections safely under his belt as "free and fair" according to the NDI.
From Iraq, Valenzuela arrived eventually in Sierra Leone though we are yet to hear from Victor Angelo just how it was that he arrived here (Sole Sourcing?)
In Iraq, Valenzuela ignored earlier laid down Iraqi Laws. The Americans, simply made up their own brand new Electoral Laws and Electoral Rules along the way for Valenzuela to go by. No problemo!
In Sierra Leone, Valenzuela met us already with our own laws but yet still, the evidence abounds that Valenzuela, for whatever reason, decided to contravene our laid down laws and proceed to undertake actions that have now resulted in the rigging of the August 11th 2007 Elections.
The concern now by many Sierra Leoneans who have since learnt of the Valenzuela efforts, is that if steps are not immediately taken to counter the conduct of Valenzuela, the upcoming Run-Off Elections will also get rigged.
For lack of space, Awareness Times will today list two developments which ensured rigging of last elections. Next edition, we will expound more.
1. FLAWED VOTER REGISTRATION: Our Electoral Laws are very clear. Sections 17, 19, 20 and 21 of the 2002 Electoral Laws of Sierra Leone were all openly flounted by the Carlos Valenzuela Technical Team. The result of the flawed process is that no opportunity was given to Sierra Leoneans to freely examine the Voter Register and challenge any fake names that would be listed as living in a particular ward or section.
Infact, the Provisional Voter’s Register was never openly displayed and the Final Voter’s Register at NEC is said to be guarded like Fort Knox by the UN Technical Team when in fact, according to our laws of the land, it should be easily accessible.
Information now available to this newspaper shows that many of the names listed down on the National Voters’ Register were ‘Ghosts’(ie: Non-Existent Fake Names!) and that moves were deliberately undertaken to swell the Register with such Ghost Names.
Additionally, information now in the possession of Awareness Times shows that hundreds and hundreds of Sierra Leonean citizens became disenfranchised on Elections Day when they went to vote and found out that their names had mysteriously disappeared from the Voter’s Register even though they possessed authentic Voter ID Cards.
Allegations are that those names were deliberately removed and other names inserted into their place. No-one seems to be able to give any plausible explanation so far for this anomaly and Victor Angelo who endorsed everything the Valenzuela Technical Team undertook, is not answering questions posed to him.
2. FAKE INDELIBLE INK EASILY REMOVED BY WHITEX: The so-called Indelible Ink used during the last Elections have been proved by this newspaper to be easily removable with cheap detergents like the locally made WHITEX bleach liquid. Investigations conducted by this press reveal that there is authentic Indelible Ink currently stored at the NEC Warehouse but yet still Carlos Valenzuela’s team insisted on bringing in this new weak and easily removable Indelible Ink.

The APC should do a separate rally. If they have to do it on the same day as the SLPP, they should do it a few hours before or after the SLPP. Ernest should never be seen in public with Berewa. Ow, una crase ba?

Tabloid accuses UN of criminal conduct in Sierra Leone’s first round polls
Owned and published by a Para-medic - purporting to be a medical Doctor who never gave an injection to a patient since graduation from the College of Medicine in Sierra Leone - the Awareness Times daily newspaper, known of late for its notoriety in publishing castigating and un-substantiated articles against the United Nations system in Sierra Leone, in particular the Executive Representative of the Secretary-General (ERSG), Mr. Victor Angelo, today continues its unprofessional trade by coming out with a banner front page story accusing the ERSG and other UN staff of “criminal conduct” in the first round of presidential and parliamentary polls in Sierra Leone that took place on 11 August. In a rather too simplistic fashion, the paper cites the alleged use of poor quality indelible ink and a “flawed voter registration” process, which the articles claims violated national electoral laws and been the handiwork of the head of the UN electoral assistance team, Carlos Valenzuela, working in tandem with the ERSG. The piece further reveals the discredit of the paper by stating that no opportunity was given to Sierra Leoneans to verify their names on the provisional voter registration, a process that was in fact openly carried out for one week and all Sierra Leoneans were urged to take part. 91% of the population registered and there was a national voter turn-out of more than 75% - a very high percentage by world standards. It is important to note that it is not surprising for Awareness Times to engage in hate journalism in favor of the ruling Sierra Leone’s Peoples Party (SLPP) being an opportunistic sympathizer of the party’s presidential candidate, incumbent vice president Solomon Berewa. Generally, the elections have been endorsed by international and local observers as indeed the most credible and transparent in the political history of the country and indeed as one of the best in Africa.

Wonders never cease! Politics is a dirty game. It has become clearly evident that the SLPP is a war hungry party and it did help the RUF in Kailaihun to unleash great carnage in the Country. The SLPP office they alleged was burned by the APC glorifies an armed soldier.
My question; why a party that says it has a democratic flavour will glorify an armed soldier in its premise?. Historians behold the distortion of the SLPP and inform posterity about their unwitting plan.

I don't think the adornment of a building with Captain Ben Hirsh's photo in military regalia has any bearing on politics. It is a matter of preference. The people of Segbwema should have called out in protest if they thought it was out of order.
We live in the west where soldiers are glorified. We come from Sub Sahara where soldiers are vilified even after such painful sacrifices to thier country.
Ben Hirsh needs a street named after him if you ask me.
Sometimes I feel that the Sierra Lone Army should have left Foday Sankoh to walk into Freetwon in 1991. Just maybe things would have been different.

SIERRA LEONE: Clashes spread to south
FREETOWN, 31 August 2007 (IRIN) - Sierra Leone’s run-off elections are becoming increasingly chaotic with reports of violent clashes between political activists dogging the political campaigns as they moved through the southern cities Bo and Moyamba.
Supporters of APC presidential candidate Ernest Bai Koroma and the governing party’s SLPP Solomon Berewa armed with sharp sticks and rocks clashed in Segbwema and Kenema on 30 and 31 August, according to reports from the towns.
As tension mounted in Kenema on 30 August, police imposed a curfew, however residents went about their normal business on 31 August.
Berewa’s spokesperson told IRIN that on 31 August, APC supporters attempted to burn down the SLPP party office in Bo, however the charge was denied by the head of the police in Bo, Foday Dabah. “The situation is under control. Media reports of houses being burned are false,” he said.
One of Sierra Leone’s most prominent human rights activists Charles Mambu condemned the increasing violence and appealed to political leaders to restrain their supporters. “The hard won peace must me maintained at all costs,” he said.
Some analysts have expressed concern that Sierra Leone, which experienced a devastating civil war between 1991 and 2002, could divide along ethnic-regional lines. However, senior diplomats in the country have said that low-level violence is not a major cause for concern, and expressed confidence that Sierra Leone’s police and army are sufficiently trained and equipped to quell violence effectively.
Meanwhile the Head of the Outreach Unit of the National Electoral Commission (NEC) Miatta French has confirmed the arrival of elections materials for the 8 September poll.

I have read somewhere the trash written by the Mr-Know-Ye-all, Lansana Gberie whose past is full of a blood sucker-like growth. In as much as his ramblings fooled only moron SLPPers, I know for sure that the truth is truth and it just can't change.
Today Lansana Gberie is calling the APC the most corrupt regime Sierra Leone has ever had. You are damn right Lanasana, but only that you need to prick your conscience before you accuse someone. Remember, when you point one finger at someone, four more would come pointing at you. Now let me lay this pathetic pseudo intellectual bare.
In 1992, at FBC, student activists discovered a Bambay Kamara (I mean the late Inspector General) sponsored student list. Now, Lansana Gberie, would you stand up and swear on oath that your name was not on that list as a benefactor of the Bambay Kamara scholarship.
2. Lansana Gberie, you today have the opportunity to ask your compatriots for forgiveness, in a special TRC convened by them. That you Lansana Gberie, as student at FBC you were a mole who supplied Bambay Kamara with vital and sensitive student information all in the name of KoKo Yebeh(We knew that you come from a poor background, but did you really need to do that to survive?) When you prepared and submitted a fictitious Gardners list to Bambay Kamara, didn't you realise that you were jeopardising the lives of pathfinders for the democratic atmosphere your tribesmen now want to hijack?
You see Lansana, untill we are honest with ourselves, the way forward shall always be cloudy. Find some real life man. You have always been an opportunist, but your present educational achievement should put you in an independent situation. You don't need crumbs from anyone's table, do you?

Apart from walking through University corridor, Lansana's inferiority complex will not allow him to be known. Education still is not a premium for civilised behavior. Some of these misfit intellectuals are devoid of honesty and good attitude. They support blindly because they are tied through different oaths to perpetuate stupidity and blind loyalty.

The public mental meltdown of the rabid SLPP propagandist hiding behind the moniker Candid One is testament of the addictiveness of the Cocorioko forum.
Even as SLPP militants throw all sorts of reprehensible invectives at Kabs Kanu, they go bonkers whenever they are banned from posting. They get bored to death in the SLPP fora where they all post the same propaganda and agree with each other like goats. 10 minutes on those vapid websites and they are back pounding on the Cocorioko gates begging to be let in or trying to jump in through an open window.
Candid one was so distraught at being "unwelcomed" at Cocorioko that he completely lost his marbles. Before our very eyes the guy is falling apart, posting rambling obscenities that will make even his bosses at SLPP HQ to be completely embarassed.
Someone please call the loony doctors to help this obviously disturbed brother before we finally lose him to the moon.

Poll: Britons endorse APC
- Monday 3 September 2007.
By Our Correspondent.
" Britain as a country is very much interested in the recent political developments in Sierra Leone, but what is clear is that many British people are now looking for a new government in the West African country.
In interviews conducted by this reporter across the political spectrum here in the UK, over 95% of a thousand interviewees say they are awaiting the opposition to take over government.The poll or survey, although not scientific, with a limited population, somehow accurately reflects the thinking in British government circles.The survey was conducted over a period of three months.
“The British government has been spending over thirty million pounds a year in Sierra Leone just in non-military spending, but that is not reflected in the people’s lives. What have the politicians been doing with the money? This is hard-earned tax-payers money,” said Paul Rawlinson of Newcastle.
“The only good thing for that country now is for a new set of rulers to be chosen so that we can have confidence to start from a clean slate, but the current Sierra Leone government has let us down,” added Jonathan Newman of London’s Underground Rail Department.
Last Sunday some Britons made a public declaration of their support for the opposition APC during house-warming ceremony at the Manchester home of journalist Sheka Tarawalie.
“We know you are a journalist, and that’s more the reason why we would like you to pass this message to the voters in Sierra Leone that there is the need for regime change if your country should regain international credibility,” declared Alice Knight, a spokesperson.
Shekito’s popularity in the UK soared last year when his work at the Citizens Advice Bureau was recognized and he scooped a national award presented to him by Queen Elizabeth’s only daughter, Princess Anne (officially known as The Princess Royale).
Sources within Westminster, the seat of the British government, indicate that plans are already underway to design modalities of working with the emerging government after a first round that saw the APC’s Ernest Koroma leading the presidential poll and his party getting the majority of parliamentary seats. A run-off between him and the ruling party’s Solomon Berewa is slated for this Saturday September 8.
Having received over two hundred and ten million pounds (Ł210 m) from Britain since 2001, Sierra Leone is the top per capita recipient of British aid. The former colonial power is committed to directly supporting the country till 2012. “We can only continue to honour that commitment if we see changes in governance,” Foreign office sources stated.
Ordinary Britons are excited about creating more investment and tourist opportunities in Sierra Leone in a less corrupt environment."

Where was I when this poll was conducted? Unfortunate, to only know about these interviews on this forum. I sometimes make it my pride to participate in such or know about people who participated. Over the last three months, I have been to Durham, Newcastle, Birmingham, Manchester, Bedford, Dunstable, Milton Keynes, Luton and London - did not hear about this poll.
was it some kind of hush-hush poll? Did you have a targeted group?
Were these interviewees from SLE background of ordinary standing or British politicians? You see I get confused sometimes, especially when I read somwething like this:
"...political spectrum here in the UK, over 95% of a thousand interviewees say they are awaiting the opposition to take over government.The poll or survey, although not scientific, with a limited population, somehow accurately reflects the thinking in British government circles".
More specifically, this:
"...somehow accurately reflects the thinking in British government circles".
I am weakened by the fact that both parties are now engaged in the personal and not the national interest. The main APC players now served, at some point in the last ten years, under kabba's government. Some got booted out for personal differences and others for sabotage. These same people are now fighting the dirty fight at our expense.
may God at some point bring an abominable disgrace on these false and parasitic politicians - I mean all the 'change-clothes' some call them the unmentionable - political whores. They cannot win - no one whose ambition is to take us back to years of suffering will survive the next general elections - they will all die and a curse will be on their children and their children's children. I left Sierra Leone at a very young age and has not been able to return because of these so-called callous and myopic demon. Stability and capable people to run the affairs of our country can bring a lot of our brothers and sisters back to Sierra Leone that are been embraced by other nations - what a drain to our country.
The land acheth now but will feel relief very soon when it would have swallowed our despicable elements.
i presented my reasons for supporting Berewa to win this election; an important reason among the many is that he will continue with the stable conditions we enjoyed before the elections.
A government promises and guarantees a stable environment were citizens can help in propelling the stable machinery by way of getting involved in every facet of productive enterprise. Such a stable machinery a few would now like to see destroyed for their gain. they are mistaken. We are born once and only live once and die once. It is what you do now that tells history of who you were.
I am really sadden by events unfolding in the country and my only weapon now is prayer for those fueling a conflict to be arrested by the Good Lord before they achieve their goals.
may God give us a direction that will avert any return to mayhem.

Greetings my brothers and sisters. Brother Chez, talking about political whores, I think you are talking of the S.L.P.P. It is unfortunate that you were not in Sierra Leone especially during the One Party System, during which current S.L.P.P. supporters were vibrant A.P.C. members. In fact, the country did not start going downhill until after they joined the A.P.C. when the country became a One Party System.
I am confident that you are a brother who loves Sierra Leone dearly and I admire that. Not only that, I admire your spirit and method of discussing politics whereby, you do not see Sierra Leone as your personal property nor do you see her as a single party's personal property, expressed by sometimes engaging in a democratic or rather object debate.
However, I am not sure about Britain but any country particularly in the United States; most taxpayers will be offended to find out that their tax dollars donated to a nation for the sole purpose of improving the ordinary people's lives does not go to do just that. In fact, the Americans are or will be even angrier to find out that their government misuses their tax dollars, let alone donating to a foreign country whose people live a dollar a day, without electricity, without running water, with out medical facilities to learn that the condition of these people remain the same. I am talking about real Americans, will never, I repeat, never stand for such inhumanity. It does not have to be in polls but common sense can tell us that that is how they will feel. Just put yourself in us (American) taxpayers’ shoes. If you donate money for a specific purpose but that money is used for selfish reasons, you will be very angry would you or wouldn’t you?
So if we are to answer one important question with or without a survey, what happened to two hundred and ten million pounds (Ł210 m) from Britain since 2001?
Celebrities, Non-governmental Organisations (NGO’s) around the globe stood for lobbying governments of G8 countries to help Africa in every way. They out rightly stated the corruption most governments are imbued in. Sierra Leone has received donations, sympathy and all forms of aid from developing and developed countries especially after the war but this government; I hate to tell you, did not do much for the people of Sierra Leone per the donations they received. I mean the evidence is explicit when one lands at Lunge Airport to the heart of Freetown. We saw pictures didn’t we?
All countries that sent militaries to fight bring peace to Sierra Leone during the war, sent huge sums of money and other logistics to help that country but they were virtually disappointed as the poll indicated by the government; S.L.P.P. that is, failed them virtually by not delivering. Why would they be disappointed? This is because the money was there. The monies that were sent for the war is different from other monies sent to improve the people’s lives. America alone has spent over a billion dollars during and after the war. What happened to these monies is what we want to know if we can become responsive or rather apathetic to the government’s course of “continuation.”
Brother Chez there are things that have been going on in a verge to help Sierra Leone that most Sierra Leoneans do not know about because these are things that are not often said in the media.
I can understand your frustration, which is due paramount to your absence from the country this long. However, as you and I want change for the better and as the aid received have not been accounted for, it is best to try a new government as that is what you must believe nationals of the countries from where these aid came from would want without or without interviewing them, it is common sense to realize and see with them for feeling let-down.
I do not have chance as I am studying and happen to see what is going on in my community thereby, coming across this debate and found it essential to say a word or two.
Have a nice night. I am not sure what time of the day it is in Britain but it is exactly 9:10 California time.

Yes I was born ignorant but I have tried to always learn to understand the world I live in. I cannot go into exchanges of words with you as i can see your desperation - maybe you personal stand to gain from an APC win. The only gain i stand to merit from a win by Berewa is that he will listen and make our people a better people.
You need to discipline yourself and learn about altruism - the joys in it. I find happiness all around me as i speak my mind slowly but with strong conviction. I cannot see your facts. i witnessed the emergence of the destruction of the fabrics of our society we so valued. As a young man I was very much in to it as my father spent his life advocating for the better conditions of our people and their environment. Sadly, he lost his life and suffered the most ecruciating circumstances of his life. To me such was an eye opener.
I will leave you to search your conscience. If your party plans well for the nation, nay God help them. I have no confidence in them - I have had dealings with a great proportion of them and it is them that are hungry, greedy and selfish.

Brother Chez and brother Musa, thank you for your responses. However, I am appealing to you to calm down and discuss issues using the renowned abilities you posses that I am most proud of.
Living abroad has empowered you, your education and business acumen have profoundly differentiated you therefore, it is left with you to use such difference and proficiency for the betterment of Sierra Leone by serving as examples to the many that are not as opportune as you are.
We have heard about violent eruptions to the detriment of our new-found peace. As many Sierra Leoneans respect you therefore, they will look-up to you if you take this electoral process as a means of discussing, ironing-out misconceptions and discrepancies in a civil manner. When you engage in rambunctious pursuits/endeavours, you will be sending the wrong message especially at this volatile period in our history.
I implore you to use your conscience, to search our souls, our integrity to search for the truth because we cannot deceive any one but ourselves should lay in bed with untruthfulness and malicious propaganda in a bid to gain at the expenses of those whom suffering has been imposed on; in that, our pillows will tell us we are wrong, if indeed, we do not adhere to the truth. What makes us human ("men") is when we can accept the truth regardless of the consequencies; most importantly, refer to our immediate history and the sadness there-in to focus on what will make Sierra Leone right this time round.
I do not have much time.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Let us unite. United we stand divided we fall. I love you all, God bless us all.

Reports from Sa Lone state that the minister of Lands, Housing and Country Planning in the current SLPP government, Dr Alfred Bobson Sesay, is a crook. It is alledged that Sesay sold several acres of government land and pocketed the proceeds, in addition to grabbing some land for himself. Some reports (from former Ministry of Education Staff) go as far as stating that Bobson Sesay was not so clean while heading a large division at the Ministry back in the APC days. Is any of this true????

No, Bobson did work as student attache in Moscow from 1983 until he was thrown out of the USSR after he and some of his colleagus were caught in a failed attept to smuggle leather coats into the counrty to be sold in the black market of the then USSR.
Ian Bayoh, Bobson, Mr. Sarakule and others were given two weeks to leave the country, at the end of which APC's Sorsoh Conteh was sent to replace the sacked ambassador.
Sorsoh wasn't good either. He was arrested at the Sheremyetova airport trying to smuggle religious icons out of the country. His wife slapped a customs police officer who wanted to check the luggage they were trying to take out of the country.
Bobson's Phd degree is a result of a corrupt system that made it possible to pay bribes to get such PhD degrees under the old corrupt soviet system.
Barbar Conteh, presidential hopeful and former AFRC advocate was shamefully a recipient of such degrees.

You too failed to give an accurate information of Bobson's background. The omission you left was that Bobson worked under Christiana Thorpe at the Education Ministry.At that time in the 90's Bobson was not having a Masters degree. I wonder if the PHD was a correspondent one. Because Bobson was working as an educationist through the 90's and early part of 2000. He did study in the former Soviet Union. I am surprised that Bobson will pitch tent with the SLPP knowing his close friends at China house were all APC. However, he has a right to choose.
I worked with him and I think he is a good guy owing that one's character can change over night when you mingle with tjieves and liars.

Some Tips for the Sierra Leone Police
- Monday 10 July 2006.
"I have said this before. Give me 50 police motorcycles and 20 cars for starters, and legislation to arm the police in doing their work and in one year’s time it will all pay for itself."
By Alieu Iscandari
On my numerous trips to sierra leone I have had the opportunity of befriending many police officers and have asked quite a few questions of them. The following is my take on their conditions of service.
I found out that a sergeant with over 20 years of service, has a take home pay of about 99, 000.00 leones which is about the equivalent of about $33.00 per month. I wonder how could someone exist on $33.00 per month in salary. I also found out that they are forced to work seven days a week and sometimes 12 hours a day or more. I spoke to sergeant Turay a very hardworking police officer who was always on his beat at the Lumely Police junction controlling traffic very effectively, I must say.
I have spent some time watching his usual polite and tactfull way of dealing with errant taxi and poda poda drivers. I watched him arrest a man almost twice his size and march him to the Lumley police station and I was amazed at the amount of strength both in physique and spirit that so belies his stature.
Is there a way, I wonder, by which the conditions of service of such a hard working and dedicated man could be improved? I have come up with a way that could be done.
My suggestion is that there be enacted a Sierra Leone vehicle code and that control of motor vehicles be placed under the control of a Sierra Leone department of motor vehicles which would be responsible for the licensing of all vehicles and enforcement of all traffic laws for all vehicles plying the routes in sierra leone.
I also suggest the creation of traffic courts throughout the western area for starters and the levying of fines against drivers who are in violation of the traffic rules.
For example, drivers particularly those operating commercial vehicles (Taxis and Poda Poda’s) are in the habit of stopping in the middle of the road regardless of and oblivious to the traffic jams created, just to pick up a fare. This should be a traffic infraction called "Impeding the smooth flow of traffic"
A reasonable fine for such an infraction should be about Le.50,000.00 I can almost guarantee you that after a few such fines brought about by the vigilance of officers like Sergeant Turay, very few drivers would be willing to incur another fine or breach the law in that manner.
This is how the process should work: a police officer on a motorcycle or police vehicle approaches the vehicle, asks the driver for their driver’s license which should be produced on demand, and the vehicle insurance policy which should similarly be produced on demand.
The police officer then writes a ticket citing the appropriate statute, gives a court date which should be no less than two weeks away for an arraignment in traffic court. The offending driver then makes an appearance in court and either pleads Guilty, Not Guilty or no contest to the charges proffered. If the driver pleads guilty, then the fine is levied and appurtenant fines such as:
1. an administration of justice fine of no less that Le. 20, 000.00 2. an indigent defense fund fine of no less than Le. 10,000.00,is then added to the base statutory fine.
If the driver is unable to pay the fines, then a payment plan to a central agency will be made and a failure to follow a court ordered payment plan will subject the offending driver to further fines including incarceration plus said fines.
If a driver pleads indigent, then that driver will have to be sent to a work an alternative program where they will have to spend at least 8 hours a day for a specified number of days cleaning the beaches and the city under the watchful eyes of assigned police officers.
If a driver pleads not guilty, then a court date will be set for trial and the ticketing officer will be subpoenaned for trial. If the defendant loses the case, the added to the fines as enumerated above that defendant will now be liable for one day’s pay at a specified rate to the courts for the police officer’s testimony. This should encourage the guilty to plead sooner.
How would this help the conditions of service of the police you may ask. Every Police officer will be judged by the tickets that they give when it comes time for promotion and salary increases, which should be frequent.
A police officer who is doing his job right and on the traffic detail will write many tickets. Of course there will be police officers who will want to take a bribe in lieu of writing tickets and thats where internal affaires comes in who would create sting operations and laws which would put police officers on the traffic detail, in jail for a long time for taking bribes.
Furthermore, every police officer who pulls over a vehicle for violation of traffic laws must "radio" such a pull over to a central station where such an interaction is recorded such that that officer will have to then explain why a vehicle was pulled over and for what purpose. Every officer who fails to make such a call to a base station shall be disciplined upon the conclusion of an internal investigation, which may include suspension without pay and termination from the force.
I have said this before. Give me 50 police motorcycles and 20 cars for starters, and legislation to arm the police in doing their work and in one year’s time it will all pay for itself.
All vehicles without insurance will be cited and any such citations will be recorded on the owner of the vehicle as well as the driver of the vehicle. If a vehicle is cited for lack of insurance and upon the setting of a court date that owner fails to produce an insurance policy, said vehicle must be impounded until an insurance policy is produced.
If a vehicle is impounded by the police, that vehicle shall incur storage charges payable to a police impound account for everyday that vehicle is in police storage. Any vehicle in police storage for a period in excess of thirty days will be sold at a public auction to recover the cost of storage.
And you say we cannot straighten our Sa Lone? We just need the right people in place, and see what we would do. No, I am not looking for a job at least not with this administration which would do all it can to frustrate my efforts.
My next issue would be on the abuse of Judicial power and the failure of the so- called "Legal One" who is the police liaison to properly and effectively address it in the matter of Victor Cole and some nondescr1pt magistrate who ordered the arrest of Mr. Cole because he dared to tell her that she cannot park her vehicle and block traffic. Look out for that.
WE ARE GOING TO MAKE A CHANGE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.

London Mining Plc - MoU Signed For The Lease Of Railway And Port Facilities In Sierra Leone
London, Norway, Sept 3, 2007 - (Hugin via ACN Newswire) - London, 3rd September 2007. London Mining Plc is pleased to announce that the company has signed a Memorandum Of Understanding with the Government of the Republic of Sierra Leone last week in respect of the proposed lease of the railway line from the Marampa mine to the port as well as the port and its facilities.
The Marampa iron ore mine is located about 80 kilometres NEE of Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone. London Mining has held a mining license at Marampa since September 2006 and has completed various studies including building and installing a pilot plant and testing 16 fifty tonne bulk samples from the tailings deposits at Marampa. London Mining has requested the use of the Marampa-Pepel Railway Line and Pepel Port and facilities from the Sierra Leone Government in order to be able to transport the iron ore that will be produced from Marampa mine to the Pepel terminal for shipment abroad.

You kidding the folks at COCORIOKO will never make such positive development headline news.Do you think they are interested in the successes of the SLPP government ? Give them some feel good news about the APC, whether it's true or not it will be headline news in a split second. But you know,it's typical cocorioko reportage therefore it's no suprise.

London Mining Plc is pleased to announce that the company has signed a Memorandum Of Understanding with the Government of the Republic of Sierra Leone last week in respect of the proposed lease of the railway line from the Marampa mine to the port as well as the port and its facilities.
The Marampa iron ore mine is located about 80 kilometres NEE of Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone. London Mining has held a mining license at Marampa since September 2006 and has completed various studies including building and installing a pilot plant and testing 16 fifty tonne bulk samples from the tailings deposits at Marampa. London Mining has requested the use of the Marampa-Pepel Railway Line and Pepel Port and facilities from the Sierra Leone Government in order to be able to transport the iron ore that will be produced from Marampa mine to the Pepel terminal for shipment abroad.
Large parts of the existing railway between the Marampa mine site and Pepel port have been damaged or removed and the Pepel port facility will also need to be repaired before it is fully functional. The Sierra Leone Government has agreed to establish an asset holding company to oversee the fixed rail and port facilities and will grant exclusive access to London Mining to the fixed rail and port facilities for a minimum of three million tonnes per annum. London Mining has agreed to fund the costs of these repairs and has also agreed to undertake and fund a feasibility study to determine whether the facilities, with modification, can accept multiple users in the future (at the expense of future users).
In a significant vote of confidence for London Mining, the Government of Sierra Leone has agreed to transfer the moveable railway assets and port facilities at Pepel to London Mining at the 1st September 2007 at fair value. These assets are believed to include the locomotives, rolling stock, scrap metal and approximately 60,000t of iron ore fines concentrates at Pepel.
Christopher Brown, Managing Director of London Mining said: "This is an important milestone for London Mining and its Sierra Leone operations. The agreement will enable us to transport and ship iron from the Marampa mine, and under this agreement we will, together with the Government, rehabilitate infrastructure important both to London Mining as well as to Sierra Leone".

Mr. Joseph Sax Conteh,
Context and objectivity form the basis of good journalism. It is obvious from your so-called editorial, that you could not demonstrate any of these basic rules of journalism in your “warning” to those who make observations that run contrary to your biased position.
It is interesting that you call your detractors “the so-called journalists,” my question for you then is this; why are you pretending to be a journalist? If you so revile the journalism profession, would it not be preferable if you leave journalism to the journalists?
With the availability of desktop publishing to the masses these days, it has become extremely easy for anyone, particularly “false journalists” like you, with just a few keyboard strokes to print what could only be generously called “trash.” It is people like you that have fermented hatred with incendiary postings like your warning. If you look at the code of ethics of journalism, you would realize how out of step you are with journalisms most fundamental creeds: objectivity, staying above the story and not becoming part of the story, and ensuring accuracy.
Please revisit the history of the APC to get a better understanding of what this party means to Sierra Leone’s democracy movement. If you have forgotten, let me refresh your memory: It was the APC which declared one party rule in Sierra Leone; it was the APC that committed the whole sale extra judicial killings of its political opponent in the name of national security; it was the APC which allowed the dumping of a ship load of toxic waste in Sierra Leone; and it was the APC which manipulated and rigged poll after pool in its twenty-four reign of hegemony in Sierra Leone. Need I say more?
All you need to do Mr. Conteh is to take a look at our nation’s political history with an objective point of view, rather splotch your skewed emotional tirade disguised as a piece of journalistic material. Sierra Leoneans have once been fooled by the APC, to allow them to be fooled again will be idiotic, so do me a favor; keep your day job, as you are not ready yet for prime time!

One of the things that Kai Lebbie boy in New Jersey told me in the threatening message he left on my answering system was that after the elections ,I will go out of business because I will have nothing else to publish when the SLPP would have defeated the APC.
Only a porous thinker will believe this will happen.
If the SLPP wins this particular elections fairly, well and good. We will work with them to bring the country back to normal . We will write to congratulate them. BUT if they win it by thuggery and rigging, they will never see peace from COCORIOKO. We will be at the vanguard of protests to the International Community and to whole world, to George Bush and to everybody to have the polls rejected. And we know we will not be the only ones who will protest.
We will also be at the forefront of inquiries about what has been happening to our donor funds and all the assistance being given to Sierra Leone. We will become a wild but calculated and responsible opposition newspaper . Therefore, only a moron will say that after the elections, if SLPP wins, COCORIOKO will be silent. Infact, our job will become more cut out after the elections.
We are therefore advising those morons saying that after the elections we will be out of business if the SLPP wins to save their breath because COCORIOKO go become wilder after the elections.
We have nothing against the SLPP but we will not join any unpatriotic people to prop up any government that has squandered all the aid that our foreign partners-in-progress have given us. We will not endorse a government that does not care for its people .
Kai Lebbie and others have seen nothing yet.

I accidentally stumbled on Cocorioko during the campaign and became hooked. This is the finest paper that shows any form of balance at home and in the diaspora.
I have seen more anti-APC and pro-SLPP articles here than in any other paper except maybe the irresponsibly footlicking SLPP rag, Awareness Times. I came to know characters like Sia Tiyaama, Kelfala Kallon, John Mannah, Sheku Kallon and many, many unabashed SLPP supporters from their slanted articles and postings in Cocorioko.
It is really disheartening to see these guys ungratefully attack Kabs Kanu for allowing the APC view also. I guess they want it to be all SLPP, all the time, all the way.
And because they cannot get their way, they behave in a puerile fashion like the little boy who takes his ball and goes home when he is miffed about a bad call.
Many of my friends are loyal readers of Cocorioko and will remain so after the elections, and we will be there to raise Cain if there is any fishy business in the conduct of the runoff elections. I am also sure the door will always be open for those SLPP stowaways who will rush back in droves to join the ever-growing thousands at Cocorioko, after they get fed up with the monotonous claptrap of the SLPP websites. Stay strong Kabs and thanks for your selfless service to Sierra Leone.

I am aware of conditions in Kambia - they have a functional hospital, a bank, a health care training institute, and schools that are all functioning. You cannot expect more from a government that inherited 24+ years of APC neglect and 11+ years of civil strife. My bone with kabba was that he tried to please his critics using a Machiavellian approach - appease them and later destroy them when in your grip - it backfired on him at the nation's expense. If only he had concentrated on bringing in loyal and dedicated employees to the nation's most strategic departments, sierra leone would have seen a rebirth to have become the envy of the region. Such myopia has caused the problems we now see. I pray Berewa stays strong and believe that he will overcome and give us the turn around economy the nation deserves. I cannot see the APC giving us this turnaround economy. Their plans to dismantle all structures with the hope of replacing them with their loyal supporters and friends will see them taking years to come back to the point we are now. That is my fear for the country. At least I voiced this out to all and i hope this will be remembered.

Well, that is why I have become deaf like a puff adder to the whinning from these SLPP supporters.

They are the rooster that wants to be the only cock crowing in the town. And this is dangerous and bad. Look at the Kai Lebbie guy in New Jersey.He goes to AWARENESS TIMES and reads all the inflammatory and inciting and dangerous pro-SLPP articles and rhetoric but will turn around and attack COCORIOKO for any article on the SLPP.

KABS, there is no single iota of doubt that these guys STRONGLY believe sierra leone belongs to them and them alone can rule the country. Some of them have sold cheap their credibilities and integrety for the sake of holding power in any means necessary. Look at them all over the place. You read their news papers you will know that these bunfoons are in a deep coma of denial.

You guys do not have the stomach for any sustained form of debate without the usual 'den man fil say na den one get dae country'chat-back. Its not rocket to discern the falsity of that position.What I see is a reaction laden with huge complexes.
Of course SaLeone belongs to all Saleoneans and nothing will change that-SLPP,APC,XYZ notwithstanding.We as a people need to put our acts together and fight the good fight.Its my prayer that we SEE not a mende,temne,krio or what have you ,but God's children striving to make good that corner of the earth he has granted them.
My heart bleeds everytime I read a posting here that slags off this tribe or that individual.Let us disagree on the path to development but uncompromisingly agree to develop all areas of our society beginning from this forum.Let the word go out to all you seek to damage our democracy but means foul and reprehensible.Let our discussions reflect our collective desire to improve and empower our people.
Itis my hope that SLPP wins on Saturday.But as a democrat I will accept the verdict of the people on Saturday-no this is not a conceding defeat as most are calling for my party to do.Its highly unconstitutional and we pride ours on the high value of state compliance at all levels of governance.
So my people lets take our responsibilities to Nation building positivey.No matter how many insults fly my way,it will not deflect my focus from the ultimate price( a better Salone).
Most if not all of us on this forum did or may not have voted in these elections.We may or may not influence what happens on Saturday.Come what may, let us stand shoulder to shoulder and hoist our Country back to the TOP.
As a Nation waits,its good to TALK.But please ,please no insults.I may not like what you say but I will defend your right to say itwithout going to the levels that prevail here.

I commend you for putting the prizm aside for once and make a sobering post devoid of parochialism.
I agree with you that Sa Lone ddoes not belong to one tribe,thats why we should accept the will of the people on Saturday and work towards a prosperous Sierra Leone.
My goal for Mother Sa Lone,I believe,is the same as yours-a prosperous and peaceful Sa Lone.Unlike you,I believe that this goal can only be attained by visionary leaders like Ernest and Charles.
As an independent,I supported the SLPP during the previous elections cause I believed in Kabba at the time,given his UN experience,but he proved to be a collossal failure.Why can I believe that Berewa would make a difference when he has vowed to continue the failed policies of his predecessor.A policy of food insecurity,infrastructural degradation,high level of corruption,cronyism,nepotism...the list is endless.
You would agree with me that with the goodwill of the International Community,they had the opportunity to make a difference but they squandered it.Therefore,for squandering a golden opportunity,I believe they should be given the pink slip on Saturday.

So why would I want to support Koroma whose avowed desire is to carry on from where Momoh and Stevens left our Country.
Koroma's philosophy of Constructive Nationalism is the same hogwash peddled by Momoh.Where did that lead us-ten years of bloody conflict.
APC if elected will unleash a kind of vengence that has hitherto never been known in Salone.Like I have stated,we might beat our breast all day but will not be voting on Saturday.When the people speak this time,they will be handing over power to one party for the next 5 years.I believe they should vote SLPP because as a party,we are determined to raise the living conditions of our people.Its not an easy thing to lift a country from years of civil war.Now is the time to rally round our party and see us deliver.Already,progress is made in various areas of our daily lives and should be allowed to continue that push for a viable and sustained economy.
The International Community's efforts are commendable in certain areas but ultimately,it is us Sierra Leoneans who must by our own bootstraps chart a way forward.Promises are a comfort to a fool and every time donors countries pledge,they are not honouring these immediately or to the face value.Its a tricky business International finance.
Let us pray for the will of God to prevail.

Anyway Vandy, Berewa will win 52% to 48% . APC blundered by joining PMDC . They did not need PMDC for a victory. It will cost them the elections.

After the first round punishment, Berewa and JJ Blood accosted Kabba and forced him to cough up some of the Gaddafi Rice money he had salted for his retirement. It is part of that money (about $750000) that was funnelled to Sheku Kallon, John Mannah and the other SLPP propagandists to start the SLPP online newspaper. The tragedy is that with all the money, they still can't help pilfering pictures from Cocorioko. Well since that SLPP paper has its origin in stolen property, I am not really surprised.

Sheku is a very enterprising guy and he thought it was necessary to have such a communication organ for our party. i know he got help from other SLPP supporters worldwide to help establish the online paper. I should not be telling you this; I however find it very hard to see that which is untrue been fed to the public when i know the truth.

Oh Chez, you are an honorable guy. Unfortunately you keep company with thieves, plunderers and political highway robbers. We are currently almost concluding our investigations and when we publish the evidence, you will be shocked that some of the Gaddafi rice money was pinched off to finance that SLPP propaganda online rag. Why don't you ask Sheku himself to look you in the eye and deny it? He is an enterprising fellow? So much dirty water is running under that SLPP bridge that you don't know about, brother Chez.

DO not insult people. But you ask a good question: "where are the donor funds." You probably do not know. But all "donor funds" arecontrolled by the "donor." Let us say America gives us $500 million: they will send an American to be "chief of party" in Sierra Leone to control the spread or reduce AIDS (for example). His salary will be $1, million (including benefits, hazard pay etc.). They will build houses to accomodate all the American experts (20 million). They will buy AMerican jeeps to be able to get to anywhere they want ($10 million): so in a single year, they would have spent $100 million on Americans and American goods, in five years the AID will be used up. Now you see how the Donor money is spent? A paper that is not "National Inquirer" will know that. I told you all of this for free so you do not insult me. Though if I wanted I can insult you too. But that is not my nature.

SLPP supporter attacks Canadian journalist
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Canadian journalist, Robert McKee attached to the Eastern Radio FM 101.9 in Kenema, was on Wednesday assaulted at the city centre by one Foday Koroma, a popular photographer said to be an SLPP supporter.
McKee was part of the journalists’ team that was covering the visit of leaders of the All People’s Congress (APC), Ernest Bai Koroma, and the People’s Movement for Democratic Change (PMDC), Charles Margai.
The convoy of the two leaders moved through Blama Road, Hangha Road, Humunya Avenue, Hangha Road, Koroma Street, Sumaila Street and unto the Kenema football field where hundreds of supporters were addressed by both leaders.
According to Philip Koroma, a journalist attached to the Eastern Radio and who was with Robert McKee, after the occasion McKee was still filming the moving crowd when some young men from the SLPP office came out and tried to remove his camera from the tripod.
But McKee held on to it while Foday Koroma assaulted him and removed the camera from him.
An operations officer at the Kenema police, Morie Kamara, appeared on the scene and retrieved the camera from the assaulting SLPP supporter and handed it back to the journalist.
McKee then went to the police and formally reported the matter.
He was issued with a medical paper and later went to the hospital. The police in Kenema are still investigating the matter.

Poll: Britons endorse APC
- Monday 3 September 2007.
By Our Correspondent.
Britain as a country is very much interested in the recent political developments in Sierra Leone, but what is clear is that many British people are now looking for a new government in the West African country.
In interviews conducted by this reporter across the political spectrum here in the UK, over 95% of a thousand interviewees say they are awaiting the opposition to take over government.The poll or survey, although not scientific, with a limited population, somehow accurately reflects the thinking in British government circles.
“The British government has been spending over thirty million pounds a year in Sierra Leone just in non-military spending, but that is not reflected in the people’s lives. What have the politicians been doing with the money? This is hard-earned tax-payers money,” said Paul Rawlinson of Newcastle.
“The only good thing for that country now is for a new set of rulers to be chosen so that we can have confidence to start from a clean slate, but the current Sierra Leone government has let us down,” added Jonathan Newman of London’s Underground Rail Department.
Last Sunday some Britons made a public declaration of their support for the opposition APC during house-warming ceremony at the Manchester home of journalist Sheka Tarawalie (photo).
“We know you are a journalist, and that’s more the reason why we would like you to pass this message to the voters in Sierra Leone that there is the need for regime change if your country should regain international credibility,” declared Alice Knight, a spokesperson.
Shekito’s popularity in the UK soared last year when his work at the Citizens Advice Bureau was recognized and he scooped a national award presented to him by Queen Elizabeth’s only daughter, Princess Anne (officially known as The Princess Royale).
Sources within Westminster, the seat of the British government, indicate that plans are already underway to design modalities of working with the emerging government after a first round that saw the APC’s Ernest Koroma leading the presidential poll and his party getting the majority of parliamentary seats. A run-off between him and the ruling party’s Solomon Berewa is slated for this Saturday September 8.
Having received over two hundred and ten million pounds (Ł210 m) from Britain since 2001, Sierra Leone is the top per capita recipient of British aid. The former colonial power is committed to directly supporting the country till 2012. “We can only continue to honour that commitment if we see changes in governance,” Foreign office sources stated.
Ordinary Britons are excited about creating more investment and tourist opportunities in Sierra Leone in a less corrupt environment.

Oh Tamba,
Your asininity really amazes me. No black in the Union Jack. Well so many blacks in Salone, but no black on the Salone flag either. Green, white and blue.....but no green people or blue either...
Anyway I do not want to explore your suitability for the crase yard asylum, you cretin. I just wanna wish you and your terrible party a fond farewell to the opposition back benches. I hope you all learn that country comes before party and that no one should be allowed to break up the country for any reason at all.
No Temne, Limba,Fullah or Loko has ever done anything to me ever and hopefully you will elect tribal leaders who won't exploit tribal tensions to cling to power.
By the way, Tam-Tam, how much is JJ Blood paying you for all this propaganda you are so tirelessly promoting? Please tell me. I promise I won't tell anyone else. Honest!

I feel the desperation in you and your SLPP party to continue holding onto the remls of power,but my brother President Momoh is not Ernest Koroma.You can not blame what President Momoh did on his reign on Ernest Koroma who was not with the upper echelon of the Momoh presidency.Blaming Ernest for the failures of the momoh presidency,is like blaming you for the SINS committed by your FATHER of which you have no roll in committing them.Be patient and come after 36mths,if we do not start DELIVERING as per our MANIFESTO,I charge you to start judging us of any failures.

Buford warn your man to stop making any optimistic forecasts. Sierra Leoneans voters are difficult ,If you do not deliver in three years, they will boot him and APC out. Kabba came with the same promises and could not deliver. You need $ tens of billions and almost 15 years to move Sierra Leone forward. These are funds which the internatial community are not willing to give . If he does not deliver 36 months, what is going to say. Elaborate on what will be acheived in 36 months

Buford , the language in the manifesto is attractive and postitive. Realisticaly ,the problems of Sierra Leone can not be solved in 36 months despite the good intentions and hardwork.
You need billions to develop the infrastructure to make the nation attractive for foreign investment.We do not produce any consumer goods that the developed nations need.Th e international lending institutions are not willing to lend us the biliions we need to develop. its a catch 22.
even if APC was to end all the corruption it would not be enough to satisfy the population. I would not make any promises or give deadlines. APC will be voted out a la SLPP if they give 36 month deadline.

I would suggest for John Karimu to call upon his failing son from Salisbury University, Maryland to sierra leone and give him arms to fight for him instead of using other people children for his selfish motives. After all, Vandy Karimu is not doing good in school.
John Benjamin can also call his daughter, Janet benjamin from medical school in the caribbean to join him home to fight instead of using the poor innocent of kailahun to do fighting for him.
This is one of the biggest blunders that Pa kabba did to himself and the people of sierra leone. How can a farmer hire a squirrel to work his grand-nut farm? Pa kabba hired John karimu, the rogue as the head of revenue and customers. Only pa kabba knows what he was thinking or smoking at that time, or maybe it was due to kailahumaniac that has suddenly had a gripped in the government.

It saddens me to realize how much John Karimu has changed over the years. I have known him for over 30 years. He was a gentleman and a close family friend; he was exceptionally intelligent. That he is a different individual from the guy I knew saddens my heart. The Karimu I knew was above partisan and tribalism. The guy that is currently portrayed is nothing but partisan and tribalistic. But in those days, there was nothing like tribalism; there was everything about school and club solidaruty.
There is always this saying: politics and tribal consciousness are what turn a decent fellow into an evil doer. I thought it was untrue; I am beginning to see the truth in these words.

my only objection to karimu and benjamin is that their activities give the impression that our poor, long-suffering district, kailahun, is a backward, intolerant district. nothing can be farther from the truth. we are proudly salonean and welcome all tribes. we want development just like the rest of the country. so don't judge us by the terror of the johns benjamin and karimu.

Vandy graduated from university and Janet is no longer in the caribbean...Fact check your information before posting it.
unlike your APC people who bought their degrees from online universities, John Karimu holds a Phd from a prestigious university and has an impeccable professional record. You can query his political record for all you want, but rest assured his academic one is like a rock.
Don't worry when they adults get tired, their children will step in to take the country to a higher level...the school fees that APC paid for people ran out a long time ago, and will not start as they will not be elected to office again.

1. They were the first to drive on the streets of Freetown, on the day the NPRC of Strasser and Ben Hirsch overthrow the constitutionally elected government of Sierra Leone.
2. Jon Ben was appointed Chief Secretary of State and John Karimu Minister of Finance
3. They in turn rewarded Kabba and Berewa by appoionting them advisers to the NPRC government
4. They planned the bundling out of Strasser using Maada Bio and Idrissa Kamara; talked Maada Bio into relinquishing power and set up a pseudo party NUP to contest the 1996 elections which Kabba won
5. They were elected Minister of Finance and Controller of Internal Revenue, virtuially controlling the country's economy.
6. They are now fuelling the run off mayhem with their loot and trying to protect their selfish interests.
PEOPLES POWER CANNOT BE STOPPED AND JOHN BEN AND JON KARIMU NEED TO KNOW THAT.

Listen to your own posting....
If John Benjamin and John Karimu indeed talked Maada Bio into relenquishing power, then APC should be thanking them for setting the stage for multi-party elections in Sierra Leone, and the freedom they are violently flaunting right now.
Think about it, was it not for them (according to your posting above), Maada Bio and NPRC would still be in power today, no multi party election, no SLPP, no APC. Maybe you would have loved that better...maybe the people of Sierra Leone would have been in a better place today...See Jammeh in Banjul for reference.
Think before you click and type......

The constitutional and political thuggery that Karimu and benjamin have rained on Salone, and the coordinated looting and economic devastation they have inflicted for close to 20 years (nprc and slpp years) is something for God and the courts to dedecide.
Please be honest for once in your life: karimu and benjamin are officially paid $8000 each for enslaving our people in economic hell. How much money are you getting from the slpp propaganda slush fund for spreading all this distortion for your bosses? I really am tired with these two johnnies giving my hometownn segbwema and Kailahun a bad name.
Please no insults.....i can't stand your "untraining".

Just to clarify the point, Only Karimu gets $8,000,He atually deserves more based on his qualifications. Actually all govt official need to be paid more in order t o curtail corruption.
I do not need SLPP cash to spread propaganda. I have enough of my own. Its purely voluntary , it is for love of the party.Besides my father made enough provision for us to live on. The old time SLPP were entrepeneurs, they had good plans for Sierra Leonean until the nation was hijacked by APC in 1967. We d o not have to insult, We are not uncouth, like the other children of the original SLPP we were educated in prep schools in Europe and do not have to resort to insults. You get it. The two johns are doing a good job for Sierra Leone. Why should an opportunist be welcomed in Kailahun.

Point of correction: apc did not hijack the nation in 1967. slpp, with the connivance of that illiterate soldier david lansana, hit democracy with a lead pipe at night and stuffed the country into the back of a car trunk, in 1967. Just to prevent apc from forming a gov'ment they legitimately won, kinda like what's going on now with your carrupt slpp.
By the way, i congraturate your father for squirreling enough chestnuts from the national treasury, to afford to send you to prep school and also set up a trust fund for you. I bear you no grudge brother. my father was a militant supporter of the slpp in the 60s, in kailahun but will be absolutely devastated that the present inheritors of the party are trying to wedge kailahun and the east from the rest of salone. We are one people, one cuntry.
You should honor your daddy's memory, gramps, and speak truth to power and stop acting as a water boy for this corrupt, tribalistic slpp. cheers!

Correction accepted. My father made his money in private business after his tribalistic northern constituents refused to vote for him because he refused to leave SLPP and join them. That was a blessing in disguise.
we are one people and want a united Sierra Leone. I do not run from a sinking ship. You stay and rescue it. We will stay & resurrect SLPP, regardless of the results of the run off. They made their mistakes by including opportunist into the fold.
I will speak the truth always, I can not blame the recent troubles in kailahun solely on SLPP. Charles' appearance o n the scene is a provocation to the people. kkk will not go and campaign in black ghettos with expecting reactions from the community

SLPP, THE ONLY WAY OUT!!!
Free and Fair Election principles ideally would insist on free access of all candidates to all parts of the country for campain purposes, equal access to the media, and equal access to all vehicles of carrying their message, for the puspose of ensuring that every registered voter gets to hear all messages and see all candidates, and makes an intelligent and informed choice of whom to entrust his destiny to. Obviously, in our beloved country, where Ernest Koroma is stoned away from a part of the country by the paid thugs of the SLPP, in the prescence of UN personnel, where Berewa uses Government vehicles bought by taxpayers money to campaign openly, shares loot and ballot papers in his Government house, and independent radio stations and newspapers are threatened with silence if they dare speak against the ruling party, this is the exact opposite.
If Kabbah desires for history to be kind to him, and Berewa wishes to disprove the signs and rumours of his insatiable greed and palpable evil mindedness towards his own countrymen, to the extent of urging fraticide, and finally, if his intelligence has not completelydeparted from him, now is the time for SLPP to relinquish power in a bold and unselfish way, by allowing the voice of the people to prevail. He presently has a card he can use to negotiate a deal with the APC. In a few days time, he will no longer have that card. The people have spoken, in loud resounding tones. He lost in his constituency, he lost the parliament majority, he lost in the capital. He is fighting a losing battle, because he is fighting against the will of God, and no man succeeds against God.

Conteh, the overall voice of the people of Sierra Leone is not the 44% the APC got. Do you realise that the 38% of Solo B., 14% of Charles Margai and the percentages scored by the other candidates say something different that is not in favour of the APC. But the only way you can tell is after the constitutionally approved RUN-OFF. How dare you suggest that Solo B. should surrender power to the APC now, inorder to save his soul. But of course, VP. Berewa, being a legal luminary will respect the constitution and follow the election exercise to the end. It's only then,if he happens to lose will he surrender power gracefully. The days of forced UNOPPOSED ELECTIONS are over in Sierra Leone. Do not take us back to the dark days of your thuggery conducted elections. Democracy under the SLPP tutelage is here to stay.
One last thing, please do not invoke God's name in your flawed analysis. What you need to do is to go learn more about percentages and stop confusing the people of our beloved Sierra Leone.
LONTA! LONTA!

You are better campaigning by yourself.
Will KKK go out and campaign in Harlem or the black ghettoes without experiencing a backlash. Berewa will win 52% to 48%. Who is going to negotiate with the powerthirsty APC, Hell no. If he does then our democracy is over. Which voices have prevailed, the antimende voices in Bombali,Tonkolili, port loko and Kambia. These are not the majority of Sierra Leone. The people will make their decision on the 8th.
Are you APC Gbose Gbose scared of losing. You have tried thuggery but SLPP is not afraid of you. They will defend their rights. Remember APC dictatorship is over. No unoppossed.

There are some SLPP members who say they are educated but when they face the music of truthfulness they employ cussing and lies.
One thing these tribal maggots in the SLPP are failing to realise is that sixty percent of Sierra Leoneans gave the APC victory in the parliamentary election.
There is no hiding place for the SLPP. The people will vote them out on Saturdayinspite of their kamajors presence with matchetes.
The prayers of our people are working. They pray for God to expose the evil ones in Sierra Leone and also for him to deliver the people from unrighteous and wicked leaders. The answer is unfolding. SLPP fanatics are busy causing mayhem in the SOuth East of the Country. One of its officials at NEC, Mohamed Massaquoi was caught at the airport with SLPP cadres to gather newly arrived voting materialsto rig the elections. Our God is good and those who wait upon him will be rewarded. This time, we who want to see Sierra Leone free from the evil SLPP politicians pray for God to take control of our Country and cast those who seek evil in the sea of darkness.
There will be great joy in our Country and the blessings of our father in heaven will flow from the north, south, east and west. There will be great mourning and infirmities in the house of those who seek destruction and calamity for Sierra Leone.
The present SLPP cabal have outlived their usefulness and now both John Karimu and John Benjamin are using ignorant people to dig their own grave. The World is watching them. Those who ignite genocidal act and massacre will face the wheel of justice anywhere they will go to find a refuge.
John Benjamin, you are a feeble human being. God's plan for Sierra Leone is powerful than yours. Your plan to cause confusion in our Country will not materialised.
It is despicable for you to preach against injustice, corruption and malfeasance and now you are at the forefront of destroying our Country.
Why would you love Sierra Leone?. A man who has a non Sierra Leonean Father will do all he can to destroy the house. Woe unto you and all your Children. For you and the SLPP big guns are denying innocent people peace in Kailaihun, Segbwema, Daru and other places while your kith and kin are in the West enjoying the white man's goodies.
May calaminty befall John Benjamin and all his lieutenants that are taking order from him in their desire to bring terror and tribal warfare in Sierra Leone.

Tamba Moiwoi,
Are you in doubt that Cocorioko is the voice of the voiceless? Whoever you purport to support in these elections will outrightly tell you that Cocorioko has helped all segment of people in the diaspora and in Sierra Leone in giving distinctive, accurate and untainted news reporting about events back home. Unlike other mediums on the ground in Sierra Leone who are paid pittance to twist issues, Cocorioko has remained impartial, independent and professional in its news reporting. One thing that is affecting majority of Sierra Leoneans is ingratitude and hate for good things. Sierra Leoneans will extoll foreigners and sell their birthrights to the most insignificant wretch rather than stand in the defence of their brothers and sisters (upatriotism). Tamba, you must remember that the Sierra Leone that has been manipulated by wicked politicians is no more in existence neither the act of straight Jacket solution nor arm-twisting will ever be allowed again by our people. Thank God for the civil war-out of evil good has emerged. We are all scattered in the diaspora and ready to engage intellectually and professionally people who think they are more Sierra Leoneans than others. Leave Cocorioko alone and engage in more constructive and objective discussions on how to move Sierra Leone from the state of doldrums the SLPP government has slumped the country.

Joseph ,you are either unfamiliar with news management or you have consciously shut your eyes and ears to goings-on at this forum.Cocorioko is neither Independent nor impartial.The least said about professionalism, the better.There is no reason to hate or be ungrateful.Kabs should be grateful to his political masters-the APC and Foday Mansaray.Reporting in this place is skewed in favour of APC-my friend if you deny this then I am sure your level of assessment is faulty or you are an APC supporter.
I like when you make this comment "Leave Cocorioko alone and engage in more constructive and objective discussions on how to move Sierra Leone from the state of doldrums the SLPP government has slumped the country."
Taking up your challenge ,I would fire the first salvo thus :APC and SLPP who has ruined SALONE beyond recognition? Did you ever use the Train?Who detroyed the economy of that country? Indeed these are issues we must engage and trash out without insults.If you read my previous postings,my contention is Salone nar we all yone-let us differ on the how to go about developing,but agree that we must develop it.

I seek the interest of Sierra Leone and I wll not hesitate to wield an iron to smash anyone who wants to destroy my beloved land.

We need people who can deliver and not can easily ride to power under the name of a tribe in salone. the limbas, temne, the mendes etc all voted on the bases of their individual convictions.
Do not need people you can only vote for a party because it is a mende or limba party but one who vote on what the a aprty can deliver.

National Electoral Commission Logistic Officer Lands in Trouble Busted At Lungi Airport with SLPP Cronies Trying To Cart Away Elections Materials
Posted by on Sep 2, 2007, 08:18
“I am not making comments about the incident at the Lungi International Airport” Mohammed Massaquoi, logistic officer of the National Electoral Commission sounded, and went on, “That is their opinion” appearing confused and disappointed, Mr. Massaquoi did not only sound confused, disappointed and dejected, but somebody who is fervently praying for his cupboard not to be opened in his absence at the NEC office.
For Mr. Massaquoi to confirm to this press whether or not he is on suspension as a result of the Thursday 30th August, 2007 incident at the Airport was not only insurmountable for him but wanted it to be kept sealed until the final decision is made. He may be some somebody very thick-skinned, but not in this case that involves the fate of about five million people in the country.
Last Thursday 27th August drama between him and the police attached to the Lungi International Airport was poorly managed by him, thus leading to his present predicament, NEC sources say. Police officers claimed that the logistic officer went to the Airport in the company of supporters of the ruling party during the arrival of sensitive electoral materials. Added to that, they took with them two vehicles which are not the property of the NEC, and that their movements were very suspicious which the police detected with less constraints and was supported by some staff of the National Electoral Commission who officially went to receive the items on arrival. The officials informed police, according to sources that Mr. Massaquoi was not supposed to be at the Airport the day in question without the knowledge of his office. Police interrogated him based on the intelligence received which made him to be furious. His action, police sources say, lends credibility to the intelligence received about him. A war of words ensued between the law enforcement agency and the logistic officer which caused a report to be made immediately about him to the NEC office. Up to press time, the logistic officer has not been able to convince both his office and the press as to why he went to the Airport with supporters of the ruling party and with two vehicles which are not the property of his office. However, what is known about Mr. Massaquoi is that he is always good at taking risks at the expense of his job and reputation. About four months back he was involved in an alleged money doubling. The doublers conveniently caused him to part with the sum of Thirty Two Million Leones(Le32 Million) which left him in a state of dilemma, not knowing what to do and how to retrieve his money from them. A case of obtaining money under false pretence was brought against the alleged money doublers by the logistic officer at the Freetown Magistrate number one presided over by Magistrate Adrian Fisher. Unfortunately, court sources say Mr. Massaquoi was not able to advance credible evidence in court to prosecute the defendants. The matter is still dangling in court with him, now distancing himself from it; for fear that it would reach public domain. The performance of the logistic officer at the Airport last Thursday has convinced most people at NEC and the public that he has passion for the ruling party, despite what had transpired between his father in Kenema and the flag bearer of the party.

Victor Foh is the one that failed in his attempt to steal ballots
In short, Mr Massaquoi went to the airport to collect the new ballots for the run-off elections. He refused to enter the holding room where the material was stored when only APCs Victor Foh (recently landed at that time) and other APC supporters were the only people around. He only agreed to initiate the signing and collection of the material when SLPP officials arrived and both parties were present when he did so.
APC now twists the story to say the gentleman was in the company of SLPP officials blah blah blah etc etc etc..
This is after Victor Foh, who traveled all the way to Ghana to try to steal the materials, couldn't do it there, and tried to do so at the airport under the nose of NEC officials and the police.
Let Victor Foh disclose why he traveled to Ghana and was on the same flight that brought the election materials to town.........na im nar tiffy tiffy

This site is most certinaly a very poor source of good information. From reading the few articles that i managed to read, it became very clear that this is certianly a site for APC. What happen to the free perss? Oh I forgot this is Africa we are talking about. Mr editor please try to be fear so we young sierra loeneans that does not belong to any polotical party can get some good information. Reporting a one sided story does not serve any good.

APC/PMDC Coalition Congratulates Berewa and Ernest for Their Renewed Commitment to Peace
The APC/PMDC coalition for 2007 presidential run-off election wholeheartedly congratulates Vice President Solomon Berewa and Hon. Ernest Bai Koroma for their renewed commitment to peace in Sierra Leone from the United States of America.
Our peaceful conduct, as a society, in the Parliamentary and Presidential elections, indeed, resurrected our decade-long dirty war browbeaten images. We were once more proud people of the world until the ensuing pre-runoff election threat of violence and skirmishes. We know you have the will power to repeat your August 11 conduct on September 8, 2007.
Our leaders’ renewed commitment to peace today in Sierra Leone has uplifted our spirit, rejuvenated our hopes and reawakened our aspirations for democracy in our country once more.
In America, and I believe in many other countries of the world, we [Sierra Leoneans] are enjoying every bit of our newfound democratic process without the violence. We are even becoming better people when we engage ourselves in what has been dubbed as internet politicking. Here in the USA, members of the APC, the PMDC, and the SLPP, mostly on weekends in parties and nightclubs, laugh aloud over our war of words on internet fora.
We know you do not have the same access to such information technology to vent out your feelings without being able to touch or see each other. Even with our exposure to how democracy is practiced in other countries, we are not quite sure if we will not act as some of you are acting now under similar circumstances, yet we are very worried about the growing tension out there over the runoff election.
We are pleading with you to follow your leaders' lead, today, and renew your commitment to peace. We are in distress when you are in distress, we are in hardship when you are in hardship, and we suffer greatly over the news of death in Sierra Leone through violence.
There will be many more elections to come especially for the youths. Do not risk your lives for any one, for brighter days are ahead of you. Not to sound condescending, but when we shall have learned to call rallies in one locat1on, address our people and dispatch them to go home to their loved ones without the senseless rallies and clashes in the streets with political rivals, politics will become a sport for us.

If Berewah and SLPP supporters have ears and eyes, it is time to let go their quest for power at all cost.

No amount of thuggery, intimidation and coercion will deter the peoples will to prevail. Berewah and died-hard SLPP should not be afraid if Ernest takes over the mantle of authority-no reprisal, witch hunting or retributive justice will be meted to anyone. However, justice for those who committed heinous crimes against inncocent people will not be ruled out. Bravo!! Ernest and Margai and long live Sierra Leone

Ngor kamara,
Your self-conceited and ill-conceived notion that the APC is thuggish is immaterial. First and foremost democracy was never introduced by the SLPP. After the unification of the country by Siaka Stevens thorugh one party system which was prevalent in Africa, it was the late President Momoh who initiated the so-called multi-party system that you arrantly attributed to the tribal oriented SLPP party. If we trace the record of the SLPP in Sierra Leone politics, it is a party of abysmal failure that has employed tactics to come to power-coups, rebel, incursions, sycophancy to the highest degree and political prostitution. So it begs the question as to what clean record can the SLPP boast of in Sierra Leone. The so-called multi-party system you said was introduced by the SLPP party is a smoke screen to carry out their tribalistic and hateful agenda against other tribes which is evident today in all sectors of the society. If you don't say "buwah" or say "ngor" there is no room for job or existence in Sierra Leone. If the late Thaimu Bangura can break the barrier of ethnocentrism within SLPP, whose efforts led to his demise and his party, why can't you see the light in the tunnel that Ernest and Margai represent a new breed of Sierra Leoeneans devoid of your tribal hegemony? Ngor Kamara, be sober minded and think like a real Sierra Leonean-full of love and hospitality. If it is a disease to be tribalistic, the new government of Ernest Koroma will invest in curing that disease so that we'll become brothers and sisters from one family and one country.

If you want to criticise SLPP for not satisfying the
voters' needs. Thats well and good. The nation is dangling on a precipice of ethnic divide, as was evidenced in the elections. People have always complained about tribalism when they are not in power.When APC was in power , people complained about Ekutay and how non limbas were deprived of jobs. Stop dreaming , Mommoh introduced multiparty to Sierra Leone, the guy never had a democratic bone in his body.
Please, cool down, and stop suffering fom mendeitis.I am not Ngor Kamara.Please try and control your hatred for Mendes. We need a united and a tribalism free Sierra Leone but opporunist Charles Margai and Ernest Koroma are going to solve the problem. Only long term education among the people will.

Was Thaimu Bangura tribalistic to break the tribal divide to join the SLPP? Why call Margai oppotunistic because he did not satisfy the egoism of the SLPP? By the way I am not tribalistic because my elder Sister is married to a Mende and all friends of mine are mendes. The point at issue is your SLPP party thinks that members of the party who are 99.999% mendes have a right to govern Sierra Leone at all cost even with the disappointing and most digraceful track record of governance. Why can't we learn from the western democracy and give these two guys a chance to prove themeselves instead of entrusting Berewah and his cronies to contnue their unabated and endemic corrupt practices under the expense of poor Sierra Leoeneans. Ngor, SLPP has had their field day, it is hightime they quit and give democracy and prosperity a chance.

Look, tibalism existed before us and will exist after us,Only education will end this divide. Northerners going to the south and learning culture and southerners vice versa. I am a sierra leone first and multitribal. if i hate Temne, Susu, Limba I will hate my relatives, if hate mende vai, fula I will also hate my relatives. The fact is tribalism just like racism in the west is a way of life. . Many whites tell you that they have black freinds when it comes to it they are racist as hell and wil not hesistate to pay white more than you regardless the qualifications,
I have a difference of opinion to you, Charles Margai is a polarizing figure . He is not going to help APC ,He will cost APC the election and his mere prescence in the south will provoke violence. I was impressed with the APC , its campaign was better than that of my party. But alligning with Charles Margai was a blunder. You will tell me aGAIN.
Thaimu was also an opportunist because Canterkrous Karefa Smart would not deal with him. Karefa smart is a stubborn man of principles.
Look ,Ernest has not shown me that he can handle Sierra Leone's problem. To me there are more qualified people within APC who can develop Sierra Leone but unfotunately kala nor dae.Tthat is yhe bottom line.
Yes SLPP did not deliver but show that APC and Ernest can. The lacklustre campaign of Berewa has not helped. Show me the beef. The Sierra Leoneans will make their decision on the 8th. ufortunately it will be a tribal decision

Why are you more attuned to this tribal sentiments? Why do you think the south/east and the north can not mingled and come out with a genuine solution for the well being of Sierra Leone? I see what is affecting majority of the tribal oriented stooges- polygamous upbringing- this marital act practiced by our fathers have implanted hate, jealousy and envy among many Sierra Leoneans. To give a vivid explanation, our mothers who married to a single man have always fought for the interest of their children. It was worse when a women is favored by the husband, thus depriving the others and their children the parternal happiness they are entitled. Consequently, hatred, withcraft and seeking mediums to destroy others became a resort for the deprived. These scenario can be likened to the way the SLPP and their supporters perceived of northerners-an alingment of a south/easterners to northerner in terms of power is taboo and invoke doomsday for that individual. On the contrary, a south/easterner will hide the true color of hatred and envy if they are benifiting materially from a northerner (hypocrisy and treachery). If you think there are more qualified people in the APC than Ernest Koroma, then you have spat on your face because the same people ask him to lead them to victory. Lontha.

W hen did the democrats win the white house without a southern presidential candidate. Long time.
You are on point on the marital arrangements of our fathers.
Look Ernest won the leadeship , he had the money. Eddie did nt. Ernest benefited from APC chronism, he was thrust upon the insurance company eventhough he had no qualifications.
The mendes are not any less treacherous or hypocritical than the Northerners. The northerners have benefitted from the hospitality and largesse of the southerners and easterners as the nation's wealth lies in these regions. If it were the other way around would the northerners reciprocate. BIG?
Kothor Saidu., please eat some mende prepared cassava leaf it may cure you of mendeitis.
Remember we are all Sierra Leoneans, regardless who wins the run off.

Ngor kamara,
Now, we speak the same language, I see Sierra Leone becoming a prosperous nation with all her sons and daughters singing the same song. Unity, Strength and Perseverance is our halmark. No more who knows you but what can you do to move our nation ahead.

Yes of course sierra leone should have been a prosperous country long ago. In order to move forward you have to assess our problems. Yes Tribalism is one of problems but the attitude and work ethic are the main problems of Sierra Leone.
Regardless of who wins on the 8th , if the dependency culture does not end , Sierra leone is not going to prosper. It has to be not what Siera Leone can do for you but what you can do for sierra Leone. The gogetter entrepreneurial spirit has disappeared. Our people want to give till you can not give anymore.
Look , blame SLPP as much as you can. IF APC comes in and does nt spoonfeed our people , they will be booted out too.

This guys are very irrational. Looking at the very picture they put in their site which was stolen from cocorioko and modified, one of the people in that picture wear a shirt clearly with the word "RANGER". The only person I know had a group name ranger is Tom Nyuma. Is this the Nyuma'group that SLPP claiming to be APC thugs?

Nobody is claiming to be APC thugs.The people are fighting back . They do not want sell out Charles Margai in Segbwema. His appearance in the area is a provocation. The British national front will not go and openly campaign in brixton or peckam without expecting problems or KKK openly campaign in Harlem or bed stuy. What does Charles expect, of course the people are going to vent out at him.
It is widely rumored that the APC thugs are in the south trying to intimidate people and suppress the votes
in the sout,

Hi Bro Kamara
I agree with your analysis. Tejan Kabbah is the man responsible for all the problems the SLPP is facing today. However, what I think the SLPP should be doing now as a party is to re-orginise themselves and be ready to form a strong opposition in parliament.
Trust me if the APC fail to deliver on the promises they've made to the electorate they will be booted out of power. Sierra leone may be second to bottom in the UN development index but the level of awareness in Salone is very high.
Let's all pray for MAMA SALONE.

My brother , We agree. The people in Sierra Leone are more aware than we in the diaspora think. Nobody is going to fool them. APC , SLPP . PMDC. Berewa and SLPP are in shock rigt now. They underestimated the people. They will vote for who they want regardless of the bribing. I would advise the candidates not to promise what they can not deliver.
I Like you my brother, We can discuss without insulting. We are Sierra Leoneans regardless who wins.

kamara, is this a confession that contrary to what your slpp [news peepers]is reporting about the incident in Semgbewama, it was indeed the SLPP that burnt their office and blame it to APC. What a cheap politics.

Political , I told you I am ardent SLPP but will criticise them if they do wrong. You live England I assume , the national front and skinheads are not going campaign in hackney, brixton or peckam without expecting problems.
I admit the SLPP supporters were hot under the collar, as Charles's presence would provoke violence.
I am an old time SLPP, Kabbah destroyed our party, We are fighting to take it back to the inclusive party it was . My father was a northerner who was involved in the founding of the pa
