In a recent interview withAYV Television U.S. Ambassador Bryan Hunt highlighted the U.S. Congress’s stipulation that Sierra Leone must implement the Tripartite Recommendations before the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) funds can be released.
Ambassador Hunt clarified that the MCC does not simply hand over a cheque to the Sierra Leone government. Instead, a joint implementation unit will be established to make contract decisions, award contracts, and oversee that payments are made directly to contractors executing the projects under the compact.
Ambassador Hunt explained that while the MCC board has approved the compact, the next step involves informing Congress of their intent to sign. Congress then has a designated period to either approve or raise questions regarding the compact. Although this process generally moves swiftly, Hunt noted that Congress can sometimes request further information.
Importantly, Congress has indicated that it wants to see the final report from Sierra Leone’s election commission, along with the implementation of its recommendations, before approving the compact’s signature. Ambassador Hunt expressed hope for a quick resolution, acknowledging Sierra Leone’s urgent need for the resources but emphasizing the necessity of actionable implementation of the report’s recommendations.
“The report should not merely sit on a shelf; its implementation is crucial,” Hunt stressed. He reiterated that Congress’s approval hinges on seeing the concrete steps taken to enact the recommendations, underscoring the importance of accountability and follow-through in the process.

This is very interesting so the MCC compact is no longer tied down to it indicators but the implementation of the tripartite recommendations…God saves our country
If you’re strongly believe what are you saying it is fine but I didn’t believe you guys
We’re still their slaves because they’re the ones whose directions we’re following because our leaders are only for their pockets. Shame on the entire continent. Other nations have forgotten about electricity while our country is focusing on way back things.
Hmmm! The Game don Big 🙄
Well na word dat ɔɔh fambul dem
Na now maada dog bio dea can go na jail with e prostitute Fatima all man own bio
GOD Almighty please bring electoral justice in my beloved country and bless us with a very good leader that will love you, love the country and the people of sierra Leone Amen 🙏💯
I said it before that the USA cannot be trusted in anything. Just because they want to give you $480 million (which is money you won), they are bringing in all sorts of conditions. Just because they noticed that Sierra Leone wants to pintch tent with Russia, they quickly moved on and started aproving money here and there. Money I believe they will never give. If this government is wise let them just forget about this so-called USA government and focus on China 🇨🇳 and Russia 🇷🇺. They are better partners than the USA 🇺🇸. These people will not give you this MCC compact money. They are going to continue bringing in conditions after conditions. No wonder why most countries rejected it but Maada will not listen. We are here and we will wait to see the end. Avoid this MCC thing and focus on other ways to generate income.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏😀😀😀😀😃😃😃😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆🥲🥲i said it hmm until the final judgement before it will release and besides what is hard for the ecsl to release the results if something is not wrong hmm this world needs right answers to everything but people are bent on making things worse for them self like seriously
This is interesting, and I believe you are on the right path to seeing democracy develop in SL
Meaning maada bio government is the problem,bio want to squanda the money..
Very good news that a check isn’t just handed to the government. I am sure a few thieving officials, including Bio, are disappointed. I hope the Americans take it further and are careful about who gets contracts.
Now we know the true intentions of the: establishment to renege on the recommendations of the tripartite, otherwise why are people peeved at the hypocritical turnaround of the US government for accountability after previous commitment to release the money before conclusion of the peace deal?
You will give someone a cow and you continue holding on to the rope. That is exactly what the US government has done.
This na big big problem business.
Salone man, na badheart, dae fallah we so. Afterwards that money will not be an exclusive SLPP. All the money pa kabbah, gathered were eaten up recklessly. Until the donors refused to give anything. Even sanctioned that government. If salone man make dem block dis money, dat nor go score any points.
Salone people know both parties. So America withholding that money, will only justify pa kabbah’s saying. Salone man get badheart.
A thief can never enjoy stolen property.
USA or MCC or APC we the majority of Sierra Leoneans that voted for this will never bow to any pressure or condition (s) because you want please yourself.
The Tripartite decisions are subject to our parliament approvals or scrutiny.
We will not allow any prisoners to vote.
We will not accept any suspensions of judicial matters for any candidature.
No rerun of unity govt.
In any elections there is a winner 🏆 and a loser. If APC doesn’t want us to live in peace ,well let us dance the music the way they wanted it but no complain.
I am certain of one thing even if we conducted any elections now MAADA BIO WILL DEFEAT APC HANDS DOWN.
