I think what the president should do is to bring in the Chinese to manage the Tormabum rice fields. I remember how the Chinese managed the Magbas sugar plantations. The Chinese are one of the exporters of rice to Sierra Leone. If he can go through the right channels, I am sure they will come. Those who were handling the project at Tormabum have failed us . This way the cost of our staple food will go down .

If this happens indeed our country will catch up with other Africa nation. My own advice to the government this will happen provided if the Centra government paid for whole land scape in that community from the local people for the purpose of this financial city in sierra Leone .
