Information Ministry Releases Official Memo Sent From ICC to President Bio

Mohamed Foday Conteh

The Ministry of Information and Civic Education has released the official memo inviting President Julius Maada Bio to the ICC in The Hague.

The Ministry’s Strategic Communications Unit shared the letter in a tweet on Thursday, August 24. The official memo indicated that the purpose of the meeting is to discuss Sierra Leone’s position as a non-permanent member in the UN Security Council.

If the request is granted, Bio would hold bi-lateral talks with President of the ICC, Karim Khan on the role of Sierra Leone in contributing to global peace.

Minister Bah’s confirmation of the memo came hours after it was being rumoured that the President has been invited to The Hague. The rumour, however, was focused on issues related to human rights violations that could have been committed by Bio’s administration.

Meanwhile, Presidential Spokesman, Solomon Jamiru said the invitation by the ICC “Sierra Leone now has a voice at the highest level of world politics”.

Best practices. Access to information. Strides of young Sierra leoneans, working towards rebranding the nation. Keep it up.

May Allah bless you sir, because this could have happened without the knowledge of Sierra Leonean. One day Inshallah, we will come out of darkness from these politicians.

I only wish the ICC is not trying to tie us with our own rope as the whites are trying to colonize Africa for the second time. Just consider what is going on right now in Niger for their resources (uranium). Consider this purpose wisely my fellow Sierra Leonean "the purpose of the meeting is to discuss Sierra Leone’s position as a non-permanent member in the UN Security Council".

The truth I strongly believe to be the final results on every living things.

Whatever that is hidden from the people of Sierra Leone will surely come to light one day. No information minister in the world will expose or bring out the wrongs of their government. They made a promise of keeping the bad information secret or private from the general public. They tell the people what they want the people to know and not what the people want to know.

The Truth will definitely come to past someday and our Country will get back it's Glory .......GOD will surely guide our dear Loving H.E.Bio
