He affirmed that he believes as a youth, intelligence doesn’t come by knowledge, age or what you know but Intelligence comes by how people can use their resources and take full control of their own destiny and that is what RENIP is ready to bring to the nation.
“We are going to make sure that we introduced a hybrid economic system. We acknowledged the fact that some political parties may frown at this system because they know the benefit it will bring amongst the people and we are read y to equitably distribute the resources to the nation and not for the selected few.” he mentioned
He further emphasized that if ReNIP is elected to serve they will increase the minimum wage from 600NL to 2,000NL. He pointed out that the party is ready and they have the mechanism to take control of governance in Sierra Leone.
He further emphasized that as a party they don’t believe in donors, but effectively managing the country’s resources.
He expressed his disappointment in the current health system in the country, as one of their Chairperson in ReNIP Ward Constituency went to Cape Verde to access better medical facility but died during child birth.
He also acknowledged that many Sierra Leoneans are starving and many could not afford a full square meal a day. He added that ReNIP is ready to tackle this issue by enforcing firm price control measures.
He acknowledged the fact that President Bio has tried to introduce Prize Control but it was short lived with the current global economy and massive recession.

He confirmed that they have seen huge progress in the Caribbean and various countries because they have decided to take control and as the party is ready to take control nobody will tell them it is impossible.

He expressed the Party’s determination to transform Sierra Leone as the least developed countries in Africa though people may not like the description. He made an analogy with Rwanda who experienced a Genocide are among leading countries because they take responsibility. However, he mentioned that Sierra Leone was in the Forefront in 1826 but we have lost everything.
He calls for urgent reforms in Sierra Leone Justice Sector as the Party believes in Justice. He described the current Judiciary as a broken system and not fit for purpose in the this 21st/century.
