Former Leone Stars Striker, Kei Kamara, has raised his voice on the issue of airfare and airport fees, questioning the necessity of additional fees at the airport, given the taxes already included in flight tickets.

In a statement released, Kamara clarified that he is not criticizing anyone for wrong reasons but is rather empathizing with the frustration felt by many Sierra Leoneans who have been vocal about the situation.

He expressed his concern, saying, “Please this is not a fight or bashing anyone, I just want to understand and I feel for everyone complaining about airfare/airport fees too. Everyone saves up and looks forward to this travel at the end of the year to go celebrate with family and spend money in the country meaningfully. I really don’t like see or hearing people are preferring to travel to neighboring countries and driving over to Salone.”

Kei Kamara also pointed out his discomfort with the fact that some people are opting to travel neighboring countries and then driving over to Sierra Leone due to these issues. His remarks shed light on the challenges faced by travelers and the need for transparency and clarity in airport fees and taxes.
