Congratulations to you Dr kpaka we welcome you sir
Congratulations Sir. Agriculture is the engine of Sierra Leone’s Economy, and you happen to be the minister. We hope and pray that you will accomplish the mission and vision of President Bio’s “FEED DE NATION” manifesto.
Fake City Farmers or FCF don plenty na Salone. Do not accept their Fake Farming Documents and they have nothing to show or add to the economy. Do not give Farming Implement to Honourable Members of Parliament, Paramount Chief, Public Officials as they could loan them to poor farmers and make more money while the government gits nothing in returns. Do not support Portfolios Farmers Projects but embarked on real Commercial State Farming and take the military to the field of cultivation and storage. Most NGO’S in Sierra Leone are fraud stars and severed exploiters. Be careful and take care of Sierra Leone.
I’m very skeptical!
