#Chinese Ambassador Bids Farewell, Inspired by Chief Justice’s Reforms


#Chief Justice’s Chambers, Siaka Stevens Street, Freetown, 21st November 2025: The Chinese Ambassador to Sierra Leone, His Excellency Wang Qing, has expressed deep admiration for the significant reforms undertaken within the Judiciary in less than a year.

In his farewell remarks marking the end of his diplomatic assignment in the country, Ambassador Wang commended the “impressive and transformative reforms” championed by His Lordship, the Honourable Chief Justice Komba Kamanda.

Ambassador Wang also noted that China and Sierra Leone’s longstanding relationship—rooted in mutual support since diplomatic ties were established in 1971 has grown into a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership. He emphasized that the relationship has been strengthened through joint responses to shared challenges such as the Ebola and COVID-19 pandemics. According to Ambassador Qing, the relationship and cooperation cut across infrastructure, trade, health, social justice, and other critical sectors.

He expressed optimism that his successor will continue to enhance cooperation between the two countries.

In his response, Honourable Chief Justice Komba Kamanda noted China’s enduring contributions to Sierra Leone’s development, citing landmark projects such as the National Stadium and the Youyi Building.

“Thank you for your support to my administration, especially in expanding access to justice,” he said, referencing the ongoing capacity-building program for Judiciary support staff currently in China.

Describing Ambassador Wang as “a friend and a strong pillar” of the Judiciary, the Chief Justice added, “Your support will never go unnoticed. If it were up to us, your stay would continue, but duty calls elsewhere. Thank you and I wish you all the best."

Also in attendance were Hon. Justice Fatmatta Bintu Alhadi (JSC), Honourable Justice Manuela A. J. Harding (J), and Honourable Justice Khalila Diana Kamara (J).

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

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...

KUSH- THE ULTIMATE KILLER DRUG, MUST GO! The Shadow Factories: When Justice Turns Blind to Those Who Can Pay? Ask Lielalay News!

Editorial : @lielaylaynews.com =========================== The Shadow Factories: When Justice Turns Blind to Those Who Can Pay There exists in our beloved Sierra Leone a theater of the absurd so profound, so morally bankrupt, that it would make even the most cynical observer weep. Picture, if you will, our police officers, those whom we have entrusted with the sacred duty of protecting our children, chasing barefoot addicts through dusty streets like hounds after wounded prey. See them descending upon marijuana plantations they have known about for years, their boots crushing earth already trampled by a hundred previous raids. Watch them haul away trembling young men whose minds have been enslaved by a drug so vicious that Americans call it the zombie poison, a substance that transforms vibrant souls into empty eyed specters wandering our streets like ghosts in their own lives. 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 But here, beloved Sierra Leone, here is where the tragedy transforms into farce, where j...

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...
