 By WILFRED KANU JR ( Son of the Publisher of Cocorioko )  {Courtesy: Cocorioko 20/12/2017} Dr. Samura Kamara is the most qualified candidate to be the next president of Sierra Leone. His purpose is not only to protect and advance the global achievements President Ernest Bai Koroma has already made on the policy-making surface but also in national sectors such as education, healthcare, agriculture, tourism, mines, infrastructural development, manufacturing and other agencies where improvement is needed. One of the main concerns is to reduce unemployment among the youth while creating new jobs and opportunities for all Sierra Leoneans. The lousy opinion that a few ignorant creators of negative propaganda are spreading among voters (as fact) is one that overlooks the truth that President Ernest Koroma is an avid patriot. His administration has made several actual improvements, laying down the foundation for further human growth and development. In Sierra Leone’s case, because of...

By WILFRED KANU JR {Courtesy: Cocorioko} When we declare that this presidential candidate suffices to advance President Koroma’s agenda for human development in Sierra Leone, it does not suggest that he has no enactments on his part. We have studied the economic history of the nation, and despite being limited, we appreciate the growth of human development in the country. We note this from an international point of view. In doing so, we believe that the best course of action in this current election is, in fact, Samura Kamara, coupled with the progress made by the Koroma administration. On the long road to economic, industrial and technological improvement, Sierra Leone’s wise decision at this moment is to maintain the current course set by this government. Those who win the next election must set a prudent standard to improve the economy. During this election, the people of Sierra Leone must recognize our premature misconceptions when we criminalized previous governments without any c...

* President Koroma commissions 52 housing facilities for mudslide and flood victims*   By State House Communication Unit   President Dr Ernest Bai Koroma on Tuesday officially commissioned 52 housing units and other facilities at 6 Mile in the Western Rural District for victims of the mudslide and flash floods of 14th August, 2017.

He thanked Mohamed Gento Kamara o...

REGENT DISASTER: FOREBODINGS OF DR. BANYA AND THE ENGINEERS. By Andrew Keili One thing you cannot fault my dear Uncle "Puawui" on is his brains and his passion for what he believes in. The good old Doctor, now in the twilight years of his eventful life also happens to be an avid environmentalist who is Honorary President of the Conservation Society of Sierra Leone. The Sierra Leone Institution of Engineers (SLIE), of which yours truly is a proud member has been on the same page with the good doctor to warn about impending disasters of the kind we have just experienced at Regent. I will digress a bit and come back to Dr. Banya and the Engineers.            Dr Sama Banya ("Puawui") It is a well known fact that Sierra Leone faces many natural hazards including meteorological hazards. In addition to this there are many manmade disasters caused by deforestation, coastal sand mining, artisanal aggregate mining and other factors.  Although most of the urban d...
