Mohamed Kamarainba Mansaray, former presidential candidate of the Alliance Democratic Party (ADP), has issued a stern warning to President Julius Maada Bio regarding what he describes as excessive international travel at a time when the country is grappling with severe economic hardship.
In a passionate post on his official Facebook page, Mansaray expressed concern over the growing financial strain faced by the people of Sierra Leone. He pointed out that while President Bio controls an annual budget of over $1 billion (or 24 trillion Leones), many citizens are struggling with basic needs such as food, healthcare, and education.
“Maada Bio! Maada Bio ooh! If we bin know! If we bin know ooh! The people of Sierra Leone are suffering under excruciating hardship,” Mansaray said in his post, using a popular local chant to highlight the gravity of the situation. “You are in control of over $1 billion or 24 trillion Leones yearly, and yet the basic needs of the people remain unmet. What are you doing with the resources of this country?”
Mansaray’s remarks focus primarily on the President’s frequent overseas trips, which he argues are contributing to an unsustainable government expenditure. He called for a reduction in government spending, specifically advocating for cuts in the government’s travel budget, as well as a reduction in the size of the Cabinet and public sector wages.
“Please! Please! Please, Mr. President, reduce your extravagant traveling, trim down the size of your government, and reduce your wage bill. Make Sierra Leone a better country for its people,” Mansaray urged.
The criticism comes at a time when many Sierra Leoneans are feeling the pressure of rising inflation, unemployment, and basic service shortages. Mansaray’s call resonates with growing discontent in the country over the perceived disconnect between government actions and the struggles of ordinary citizens.
The worst governor I ever see in sierra Leone is Bio government.

Fact
The New Directions is leading to the wrong and woeful failure directions. Bio lacks leadership charisma.
This the appropriate time for the ‘ Munku Bos Pan Matches Song) wherein a very extravagant personality is made to govern a cash strapped nation.
I know you useful idiots are wiser than God who choose Bio to rule His people
Rapist adp leder
Hmmmm …APC operatives !!! No matter what you are premenditating ….how can some one compered Bio lead government to that of EBK….Bio is far far more better !!!
Does Maada Bio care about how Sierra Leoneans feel? He doesn’t have a care in the world. Just let you know that Maada Bio is NOT Sierra Leonean and he will go the length and breath of everything he does to bring Sierra Leone to its knees by constantly stealing from the country’s national treasury through his frequent travels. Maada Bio’s an absolute disgrace and we’ll do all we can to bring him to justice for financial crimes and crimes against humanity. We knew from day one from his terrible track record and lack of managerial skills and integrity that he was bound to fail. Ya Yombo who sells fish in the market by far has managerial stills and know how than Maada Bio who spent 22+ unproductive wasted years in London. Shame on all those who voted for and support this electoral thief, something he’ll NEVER get away with this time.
I ever regret voting this wicked guy
