Mr acc commissioner, please 🙏with due your respect, as you change your mind for government personalities not to disclose their assets publicly, please do the same here. Uh! Because a lot things needs to be investigated and especially G- personalities. Let go Salam salim and A kamara. Dah man wea dea rayt nah big ose corrupt but nah yen yen wi dea si bra.
This is Sierra Leone where an accused teacher of exam malpractice is publicly name and shame in the central Freetown but an accused IT programmer of changing grades is invited to court for questioning
What a country
God help us.
Mr commissioner all this is side distraction looking at CLERK OF PARLIAMENT (PARAN) in relation to One of the offences charge by SALAM and AMINATA are you really fighting corruption or fighting tribalism?
What paran did is called what? as you charge Salam and Aminata let us be reasonable as sierra Leonean and people with dignity and integrity
The speaker of Parliament was caught employing goast workers and misusing text payers’ money, the highest abuse of office and thievery, but he is still in our Parliament. The ACC itself is the most corrupt office headed by Klepto Ben.
The clerk of Parliament issue has been forgotten.
So true but don’t forget those chopping multi millions leones in the dark
