David Sengeh Speaks on FedEX Suspension of Services to Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone’s chief Minister, Dr. David Moinina Sengeh has thrown light on the suspension of operation of US transport company FedEx to Sierra Leone.

“Seems that the suspension has been on since at least March 1^st March 2022. Why? I don’t know,” Minister Sengeh reacted to a post on Twitter which suggested that the company suspended its operation in the country due political instability.

The post, originally from entrepreneur Sheka Forna, said the US company has suspended operations to Sierra Leone due to “the current political situation”. The post read that the company has ceased to offer services to and from Sierra Leone.

Forna suggested in the post that the company could have suspended their operations in the country due to negative messages coming out of the country.

But Sengeh, at first, suspected the message to be that of propaganda from “some mischievous individuals”.

The Chief Minister, in his recent reaction to the issue, said the government will work to help bring services to Sierra Leone. Sengeh also shared a screenshot of the last time the company made delivery to and from Sierra Leone which was in March 2022.

It's a shame to listen or read negative thoughts people have for their country.

APC PPP supporters have the largest number of beggars in Sierra Leone. You think if you drive investors away from Sierra Leone SLPP will suffer. Your supporters suffer more.

We should start to look for black own businesses from the diaspora to do business with. Forget about all this other people. APC are still swinging in lala land with the believe that they won the election. Am not sure how that is possible with campaign or abusing people from the south

They think to steal an election will go unnoticed by the international community. I will not do business with you if you are a thief. Konneh is a big thief. He is downgrading Sierra Leone
