Joseph Fitzgerald Kamara, the former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, has expressed support for the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) Grant awarded to Sierra Leone.
Commonly referred to as JFK, Kamara acknowledged the positive impact the grant could have on the nation, while emphasizing the importance of transparency and integrity in its management.
In a recent statement, Kamara wrote, “The MCC Grant to Sierra Leone is for the benefit of the country, and the gesture is welcomed.” However, he stressed the need for stringent measures to ensure accountability in both the disbursement and implementation of projects funded by the grant.
Kamara, a key figure in the opposition All People’s Congress (APC), also recommended the involvement of civil society and opposition groups in overseeing the implementation process. He argued that these stakeholders should be “integrated into the architecture” to enhance the credibility and effectiveness of the projects.
As Sierra Leone prepares to utilize the MCC Grant for national development, Kamara’s call for a layered system of accountability reflects growing concerns about ensuring that the funds are used efficiently and for their intended purposes.
Good advice
JFK will you please shut up if you have nothing sensible to say ! ! You have no business and no right meddling with the MCC grant. The Government of Sierra Leone is not accountable to you.
You are a thief and a very corrupt man. You served as Head of the Anti-Corruption agency in Sierra Leone all through the reign of EBK. You never charged anyone to court. You took bribes from your fellow thieves and criminals. In the end you shamelessly went to courts to defend the greatest thief our country has ever had in the person of Ernest Bai Koroma. You now have the guts to ask for accountability? Are you a fool or just plainly stupid?
Positive thoughts JFK.
Oh JFK, are you referring to Americans to be accountable to you or are you saying Pres. Bio will copy the style of Ernest Koroma and his cohorts?
Constructive comment from an apposition is always welcome.
JFK was ACC Commissioner for 6yrs and charged 429 accused persons. Had 87% successful convictions, including but not limited to Ministers of Government. JFK is the only Sierra Leonean to have won the Workd Bank Integrity Award
