It’s a shame that our government appears to be indifferent towards the plight of the people of Sierra Leone. We are tired of the constant suffering that seems to have engulfed our country. This is the worst situation I have ever witnessed in my lifetime here. I hope that God intervenes and relieves us from the hands of those who are causing this misery.
Lae den lef for lie nor! Just a few days ago, Director General of EDSA broke down and admitted “we cannot provide what we don’t have”, then today, this nonsense? If the problem is at Kingtom (which it is not?) what does Bumbuna and Karpower have to do with that? You can’t afford Karpower, so there is no light. Simple. Rains will start soon, Bunbuna will kick in and you can lie then that problem is fixed, but this is failure on the part of the Bio illegitimate government, that’s all. We do not have the means to provide the basics. We are a failed nation. Our government is a failure.
What about the provinces like Makeni?
Lie lie they have fail us nonsense
Lie lie they have fail us
Big big problem buzins na salone
The problems of electricity distribution is perennial. The past Ernest Bia Koroma government didn’t solve amidst all efforts to solve, now the same problem had been transferred to what we are experiencing today.
By and large, the Ernest government would have put an end to this electricity distribution problem because it was a flagship program of Ernest Bia Koroma in his manifestos in 2007 when he took power from Late pa kabbah.
In all let us pray for the invention of God almighty to solve the problem for us in Jesus mighty name. Somebody say Amen!!!
All thing lef to wuna, na wuna get the juice
