The National Coordinator of the Tripartite Steering Committee Secretariat (TSCS), Ngolo Katta, has dismissed the All People’s Congress (APC) complaint against his staff member, Alimamy Lahai Kamara, stating that the concerns raised are exaggerated and lack basis for disciplinary action.
According to Mr. Katta, the APC’s claims create the impression that Mr. Kamara had committed a serious professional offence, which he firmly denies.
“It sounds as if Lahai has done something criminal, which is not the case. He is a professional who has been doing his work exceptionally,” Katta said.
He explained that he had requested a one-page report from Mr. Kamara regarding his activities in Falaba, which was duly provided with a clear explanation of his work.
Katta further noted that during the planning sessions, the TSCS team was given strict guidelines on who they should engage with, and his staff adhered to those directives.
Regarding the alleged conversation between Alimamy Lahai Kamara and the APC Chairman in Falaba, Mr. Katta said he had not been briefed on the details. However, he was informed that Mr. Kamara provided the required quota for participants. Unexpectedly, over 40 APC members turned up, far exceeding the allocated number.
Katta stated that to manage the situation, information meant for the required participants had to be compiled and handed over to the team leads for distribution.
“If the correct people had come, we would not have had that kind of confrontation. Even though other groups were also present in large numbers, the same procedure was followed,” he said.
The TSCS Coordinator accused the APC of escalating tensions through its press release, which he believes encourages supporters to appear in large numbers in ways that could disrupt the process.
“We should be helping to solve this problem. That press release urges Sierra Leoneans and party members to go in multitudes, a move that could create chaos. I am not expecting a press release to say things that amount to incitement or disrupt national progress,” Katta emphasized.
