What do you expect? Politicians fight to gain political power but the country still remains the same or even worse. What is the fight for? Is it not to plunder the resources of the country?
Sierra Leoneans have come with ferries inorder to alleviate the situation on the sea but those ferry owners have succeeded in bribing every government in turning a blind eye to the risks involved in travelling on sea.
How long will foreigners take us captive in our own country? Is it not a shame that our government doesn’t care about the risks posed to travelers on sea?
We are calling on the Lord to deliver us from the hands of corrupt officials in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!!!
Government should be ashamed and get a new ferry presentable transport means to and from the international airport of the country. It’s a disgrace for our nation.
Or tell private entrepreneurs to get a decent and reliable ferry or cease to operate.
