Joseph Blackie, Public Relations Office, Civil Society in Bo District has called on Opposition Members of Parliament from the All People’s Congress (APC) party to put Sierra Leone first by going to parliament and represent their people.
Blackie stated that the main opposition APC decision to boycott parliamentary proceedings and withholding their participation in governance is not good for the country, adding that it was the people who voted them into power to represent them and it is expected that they do the needful.
According to Blackie, the opposition has a critical role to play in the governance of the country and if they have grievances against the 2023 election, they should seek redress in court.
He continued that the MPs should execute their duties without fear or favour while providing their oversight functions, adding that any member of committees in parliament who do not measure up to the expectations of the people should be changed by the speaker of Parliament.
He further stated that MPs should not take bribes while performing their oversight functions as parliament was on record for taking bribe, an allegation the speaker of Parliament had vehemently denied.
“It doesn’t mean when I am calling on APC members of Parliament to go to parliament, I belong to SLPP, but I just want to see MPs in parliament to make good laws and provide oversight functions”, he said, adding that ‘I don’t belong to any political party”.
According to a report, some residents of Bo who posed to be members of the APC said the leadership of the party should do the needful to ensure that the MPs returned in parliament.
The residents described Hon. Bangura and Hon Thompson to be real patriotic citizens who have put the country first instead of their party.
It’s the people who voted APC MP’s asked them NOT to go to Parliament. So why are these so called moral guarantors and civil society members economical with the truth for God’s sake? If Sierra Leone degenerates to another war, these evil people MUST be held responsible. No dignity, No respect for self. APC MP’S, continue to stand firm and stay put until ECSL announce the elections results by polling station. Shame on you Blackie or whatever you call yourself.
Evil societies you’re a disgrace to mama salone. Why didn’t you call the ECSL to do the right thing?
Unpaid ECSL ad hoc staff are languishing for a mere pittance to sustain their families. Which civil society has raised concern about that? Non
Shame on you
I’m not a Politician and don’t belong to any Political Party. But it’s not the APC that puts Party First. It’s the Proportional Representative System (PR System) that says Party should be put be put First. Which the sitting Government forced it into Parliament. Even when other Parties are in denial.
Your mother’s perineum and your father,s penis should go and represent their anus twwww, useless being misguided element sycophant Twwww. Because you are enjoying under the umbrella of this killers and thiefs and wicked demons 😈👿👿
If you have any other good news bring it next time don’t ever bring short news because you also don’t have interest of your country am not sure if you are a real citizen of this country please just keep quiet
Blackie is one of the evil society members in this country, tell your mende brothers ie Konneh and cohorts to publish the disaggregated polling data station by station so we can start from there, this nonsense of yours is not helping out!!!
Can some use some adjectives for me because i am shaking i really don’t know what to say to this fool.
Mr. Blackie thank you very much for speaking your mind. But please find out from the current parliamentarians whether they are representing the people who voted or their political Party.
Mr.Blackie I am sure those parliamentarians have nothing to contribute to the areas they were selected from.
The functions of those members of parliament include voting and protecting their political Party.
This is a strategy by your Maada Bio to ensure that he continues to manipulate the Sierra Leone constitution in order to stay in power as long as he wishes.
After all the dubious ( dubaru) activities, the rigging, ballot stuffing,
intimidation and harassment, Maada Bio did not win the elections.
Maada Bio has to steal the democratic rights of Sierra Leoneans in broad daylight.to select himself as president.
He is unrecognized and illegitimate leader in Sierra Leone.. Maada Bio committed a lot of crimes that do not warrent his Re_election.
Sierra Leoneans please, let’s learn to respect self and apply same thing when addressing others. Let us don’t engage on allowing our auterances be a judge to our personality. We should not allow politics to instill rudeness into us.
