The presidential spokesman, Alpha Kanu, responded to concerns about job creation and government efforts following the promise made in the 2023 manifesto.
Kanu said when the president says he will employ 500,000 people, the government is fully committed. He pointed out that over 70% of the country’s people are employed not in offices in Freetown but in rural areas, mainly in farming and agriculture.
The government’s 2023 manifesto includes a plan to create 500,000 jobs within five years. This means about 75,000 new jobs will be created each year as part of the Big Five objectives.
He said the government has worked to improve productivity in rural areas, which is why it brought 410 tractors between 2018 and now. The tractors are meant to support farmers and increase food production across the country. Despite this, some people are still complaining.
Kanu said he saw a clip of Burkina Faso’s current president, Ibrahim Traore, who brought 300 tractors, and the people there celebrated him. But he noted that while Sierra Leone’s government brought in 410 tractors, people here are still condemning the effort.

He added that Sierra Leoneans should learn to appreciate the efforts of those who are trying and said the president is working hard to deliver.
Kanu compared Sierra Leone and Burkina Faso, noting that Burkina Faso’s president brought 300 tractors and received celebrations, while Sierra Leone’s government brought 410 tractors but still faces complaints. He said Sierra Leoneans should recognize the efforts being made and support the president as he works to improve agriculture and create jobs.

Alpha Khan lef
This is total fallacies of deception against the graduates of this country. 70% People are going jobless in this country and you are saying nonsense at age fool 😡.
God will punish all of you one day in Jesus name 🙏 if you don’t repent and apologize to the youths of this nation.
Almighty GOD dae watch u with you big lies, GOD go handle uh na very soon.
The youth they are suffering, no job,
The university students graduate 🎓
No where for them to work , unless you’re have political connections.
You sitting there telling lies..
We hand over all bad politicians to you almighty GOD..
You’re one of the people God Almighty will surely hold accountable for what you’re doing to the people of SL 🇸🇱
He is nothing but a useless fool
E go school but e nor learn book
Check the difference
This statement left me without a word to say and even start wondering whether our politicians had an iota of integrity. If Kanu keep on measuring that they have employed over 75% of idling youths in this country, then needless to debate it on media. One does need to justify development because it speaks for itself. The people in Burkina are celebrating Traore because he has something to point to but in our own case, we have no clue about where the farming is taking place and who is employing those 75% youths. There’s absolutely no comparison between sierra leone and Burkina because we are exporting only 0.5% while Burkina is currently exporting tomatoes and vehicles to other countries. Your conscience will hold you to ransom for the delebrate composition of lies why trying to please your master.
Sometimes I wonder how some of you even became a politicians because some of you lack integrity and transparency
Ooo Alpha kanu you are a total disgrace to this nation
Sometimes ago you were the same propaganda Machine for Apc and now again you are living close to your grave and yet you ate still have the same habbit in your DNA I wonder what will be of you in your grave anyways the Almighty will judge all of us for
What we say
What we do
What we eat
Etc
We shall give account for all of them
I will not disagree and agree with Mr kanu but we the 30% unemployed are still waiting for a better future.
About appreciating leaders,we know that they should do better especially being in the office for 5yrs and above.
When things get better, there is no need to say because the masses will feel it.
If you say we the 30 percent meaning that you have already agreed that 70 percent already have job which i will totally disagree bro
This man is the most passionate liers I have ever seen…
How was not even ashamed of himself to such.
I still don’t why God is too careful in making His judgment, because some of these people don’t even deserve to be breathing by now.
If that which you said is correct may God reward you, but you putting up such talk on media for your personal favor may God bring judgment upon you and your entire generation both present and future 🙏 🙌
Wow!! Bravo to all New directions movement. I wonder how God is going to judge us when judgement day comes. God is not mocked, whatsoever man sows ,so shall he reap. I think this fallacy is for the gullible member who are blind to the truth. Time will tell.
No wonder one prominent preacher said ” Sierra Leone is full of lies and thieves” now I have come to understand the servant of God message. With this kind of lie told. Heavenly Father, please forgive his conscious sin and help him to know the truth without fear or favour in Jesus’ name Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Alpha kanu stop deception
When will you come to your senses
Your lies are not working anymore
Lepha Kanu, Not Alpha Kanu. How dare you to make such statement just to please your boss. This is sinful to humanity
Alpha Khan is close to his grave 🪦 and he is still disturbing the peaceful mindset of unemployed Sierra Leonean Citizens, instead of him repent, he is busy and continuously lying to the people of this nation.
But God is watching
