His Excellency Rtd. Brigadier Julius Maada Bio, President of Sierra Leone, has arrived in Washington, D.C. for a crucial one-day working visit before heading to New York for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
The President and his high-level delegation touched down at Dulles International Airport, where they were warmly received by key officials, including Finance Minister Sheku Fantamadi Bangura and Sierra Leone’s Ambassador to the United States, Sidique Abou-Bakarr Wai.
During his brief but pivotal stay in Washington, President Bio is set to hold high-profile discussions, beginning with a meeting with Ms. Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The talks are expected to focus on strengthening Sierra Leone’s economic recovery efforts and exploring further financial cooperation.
In addition, the President will engage Ambassador Molly Phee, the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, in a bilateral discussion that will likely address key issues related to trade, security, and U.S.-Africa relations.
These engagements underscore President Bio’s commitment to fortifying Sierra Leone’s diplomatic and economic ties with the United States.
A highlight of the visit will be a trade and investment roundtable hosted at the Fairmont Hotel. U.S. government trade and investment agencies will participate, providing a platform for President Bio to showcase Sierra Leone’s investment potential and ongoing reforms aimed at fostering economic growth.
Joining him at the roundtable are key members of his delegation, including Chief Minister Dr. David Moinina Sengeh, Foreign Affairs Minister Alhaji Musa Timothy Kabbah, and Finance Minister Sheku A.F. Bangura. The discussions will focus on opportunities for U.S. businesses and investors to engage in Sierra Leone’s emerging sectors, including agriculture and energy.
In a separate meeting, Sierra Leone’s delegation, led by Chief Minister Dr. David Moinina Sengeh, will engage with John Tomaszewski and staff members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. This engagement at the Dirksen Senate Office Building aims to reinforce bilateral relations and discuss legislative cooperation between Sierra Leone and the U.S.
President Bio will conclude his visit to Washington before departing for New York on Saturday, September 21, 2024, to attend the UNGA. While in New York, he is scheduled for a one-on-one meeting with Congressman Gregory Meeks, a ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton. These discussions are expected to focus on advancing Sierra Leone’s international agenda and highlighting key development initiatives.
All these meetings will not bring any benefits to the people of Sierra Leone. Ma’ada Bio is embarking on all these meetings to buy Time so that he can continue to occupy the position he does not deserve.
The International Community people should stop Ma’ada Bio from wasting the megre resources of this Nation. Ma’ada Bio should be made to ACCOUNT for all the wastages.
Ma’ada Bio has stolen a lot of Government vehicles which were driven through Port Loko, Kambia to Guinea.The stolen vehicles are currently in Guinea.
Ma’ada Bio cannot make any development or personal progress without Stealing.. In 1996 Ma’ada Bio had to steal $ 18million dollars from the Central Bank before he could establish a business in Ghana. Last year, Ma’ada Bio stole Le 800 billion Leones from the Central Bank, the money he is currently using to build a Hotel in the Gambia.
Without stealing government resources, Ma’ada Bio CANNOT do anything for his personal development. Ma’ada Bio is a Notorious Lair and a THIEF. Apart from killing innocent people and Threatening the people of Sierra Leone through his PAOPA MENDE security forces, Ma’ada Bio is not popular in this country. The people of Sierra Leone know that Ma’ada Bio is a KILLER president, a LIAR, a THIEF and a non Democratic.
Ma’ada Bio, according to Dr. Samura Kamara, you have to give account of all the people you massacred at the Pademba Road prison, the people you killed on August 10 demonstration, the people you killed at Thombo, Mile 91, Lunar, Tonko Limba, and many more. Ma’ada Bio you should be able to give
sn account of the 303 people. ( protestesters, that were arrested during one of the protests), that are said to be missing at the Pademba Road prisons.
Ma’ada Bio you should refund all our STOLEN monies and properties. Last month, Ma’ada Bio shipped out all the vehicles bought for the conduct of the June 24 th 2023 elections. Ma’ada Bio is busy Delicting the Resources of this country. Ma’ada Bio flies like a bird without a nest. He is busy BRIBING people with our limited resources to allow him to continue his diabolical activities as a president.
Ma’ada Bio is not HONEST to the people of Sierra Leone. By the way, Ma’ada Bio is a half Ghanian (Fanti) and Half-SIERRA LEONEAN.
