MAADA BIO INTERVIEW 2012: “WHY I WANT TO BE PRESIDENT “! New African Magazine.com

Image
Maada Bio: “Why I Want To Be President” For  Julius Maada Bio , the controversial opposition leader and presidential aspirant in November’s elections in Sierra Leone, the issues are clear. He wants to ensure that democracy becomes firmly rooted in Sierra Leone and economic development is vigorously pursued in the country. He talked to  Stephen Williams  about his vision. IN 1992, JULIUS MAADA BIO WAS among a group of six young Sierra Leonean soldiers (that included Captain Valentine Strasser) who toppled President Joseph Momoh’s All People’s Congress government in a bloodless military coup. Bio later led a palace coup in 1996, to overthrow Captain Strasser’s military government, following a division within the ruling Supreme Council of State over whether to introduce multi-party elections that year, and the conditions for participation of the junta members in the elections. Bio’s “palace coup” returned the country to democracy. In 2005, he officially became a member of th...

TOLLGATE TARIFF/TAX INCREASE BY CABINET AND NOT PARLIAMENT- ANUNFAIR BURDEN AND https://youtu.be/SOkbJQuMrhs?feature=shared

https://www.facebook.com/SierraNetworkSalone/videos/3744142002530554/ INCREASE IN TOLLGATE TAXES - A RECIPE FOR ADDITIONAL HIGHER INFLATION ON COMMODITY/ FOOFCOST/ FUEL AND OTHER TRANSPORT PRICES. THIS IS UNFAIR    AND UNREASONABLE!  CATEGORY 5, AN INCREASE   FROM NLe183 to NLe700, an increase of 382.5%.  CATEGORY 6, AN INCREASE FROM NLe100 TO NEW 250    i.e. 150%. These are the categories that will mostly    impact cost of living and increase economic suffering on the people.    The Ministers of Transport, Works, Finance and Trade must conjointly review these increases as these are UNFAIR AND UNREASONABLE AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL TAXES. TAXATION POLICY IS NOT TO PENALISE OR IMPOVERISH THE PEOPLE BUT TO PROVIDE    REVENUE, REASONABLE ENOUGH TO MITIGATE    GOVERNMENT    SPENDINGS IN VARIOUS PUBLIC GOODS! EXECUTIVE CABINET IS NOT THE SUBSTITUTE FOR PARLIAMENT; ONLY PARLIAMENT HAS THE POWER TO IMPOSE...

DR KADI SESAY 'TIFF LIGHT'- [ BY DIRECT CURRENT]

Kadi Sesay tiff light; Maada Bio tiff passport. Kadi Sesay tiff light; Maada Bio tiff passport. Kadi Sesay tiff light; Maada Bio tiff passport A REPOST SINCE NPA TIME. When I read the above words in the Sierra Leone Issues forum, my first expression was - Oh No! not another Big SLPP Fish! It is indeed sad  and dissapointing for people of TRUST to be exposed in prety embarrasing situations. When I was growing up, as a  child, whenever one hears the song  - "Tiffy,Tiffy Jankoliko", one immediately knows that a THIEF has been caught or is being digraced publicly... with much clapping, laughing and in many cases beating, slapping, kicking and all. For someone to be branded a THIEF is one of the most degrading accusions recognised the world over and the LAW frawns upon this failure of human behaviour. In England, the Theft Act 1968, provides for up to 5 years imprisonment for theft defind in Section 3 of that Act. We in Sierra Leone still continue to use the La...

Click to watch at your own discretion! https://youtu.be/u6MPV9zBXYg?feature=shared 32 YOUTHS (24 MALES AND 8 FEMALES) BURIED IN MASS GRAVES WITH NO DIGNITY! They were literally thrown in and the burial assistance can clearly be seen stepping on the dead bodies. The menace of KUSH and other deadly drugs is taking a tool on the youngsters in Sierra Leone. It is time for the government to take drastic actions before this epidemic becomes uncontrollable. The BBC AFRICA coverage of this most recent episode is an eye opener and this is just a glimpse of what this new disaster is. (Click the above link to watch at your own risk). Below, I reproduce comments made by citizens whose expressions paint a vivid picture of the menace of KUSH and the number of unidentified youths dying and being buried in sorrowful conditions. https://youtu.be/fKc3SDBoFtA?feature=shared READ BELOW!

AUDIT REPORT 2022 IS OUT. BIG QUESTIONS FOR GOVERNMENT

Audit Service: A Double Edged Sword in the Accountability Battle By Babah Kanu +232-76-927-562 babbiuskay@gmail.com  The Audit Service Sierra Leone is the supreme audit institution mandated by law to audit all public entities that receive monies on behalf of the people of Sierra Leone. The country since independence has been entangled by corruption which has been the bane that wane the economic, social and political facet, with little or no progress made year in, year out. This state of affairs has existed to an extent that Sierra Leone was noted for an infamous voucher gate in the 1980s, which almost crippled the country’s economy. To extricate the country from this economic morass, the democratic constitution of 1991 engendered accountability in public institutions with the establishment of accountability institutions including the Audit Service Sierra Leone. Over the years, this accountability institution has been nurturing the hen that has laid the golden eggs by providing info...

THE NIGER DEBICLE: HAS ECOWAS  BITTEN MUCH MORE THAN THEY CAN CHEW? "WE AS A PARTY WILL ENSURE RESTORATION OF DIGNITY AND NOT ALLOW THE REPETITION OF WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR 10 MPs WHOM WERE REMOVED AND BULLIED OUT OF THE FIFTH PARLIAMENT" [and were replaced by Paopa choice seconds]. So says Madam Mariama Lowe when meeting with the female MPs elect. Very well done Madam Mariama Lowe, I duff my hat to you; keep encouraging the women and, continue to send encouraging words at all levels, even to the youths. For now, let us look at the game being played by ECOWAS against NIGER 🇳🇪.   ARE SOME DICTATORS MORE GENUINE THAN OTHERS?  A COUP D'ETAT IS A COUP D'ETAT!  WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE IF THE METHOD USED IS BY A MILITARY TAKE OVER IN JUNTA FASHION OR BY A CIVILIAN ASSISTED FRAUDULENT ELECTIONS COMMISSIONER BY WAY OF A BROAD DAYLIGHT ROBBERY OF THE PEOPLES  FRANCHISE AND STEALING THEIR VOTES (PAINFULLY CAST ON 24th JUNE 2023 IN SIERRA LEONE; AND BEING ILLEGIT...
