Renowned lawyer and stalwart member of the All People’s Congress (APC), Joseph Fitzgerald Kamara, has expressed optimism about the potential learning opportunities stemming from President Julius Maada Bio’s participation in the Clean Cook Summit.
The summit, aimed at addressing the widespread practice of cooking meals over open fires and traditional stoves prevalent across the continent, has garnered significant attention from advocates of sustainable living and environmental conservation.
He emphasized, “Most Africans, we are told, still cook their meals over open fires and traditional stoves. Apart from the Chair and Co- chair, President Bio, will be the ONLY President participant at the Clean Cook Summit. We await lessons on how to cook and eat sweet pemahun and cassava leaves.”
Kamara highlighted the significance of President Bio’s involvement, noting that he will be the sole sitting president among the participants, aside from the summit’s Chair and Co-chair. This distinction underscores President Bio’s commitment to addressing pressing environmental issues and promoting sustainable cooking practices within Sierra Leone and across Africa.
In a statement, Kamara emphasized the importance of transitioning away from traditional cooking methods, citing their adverse effects on health and the environment. He expressed eagerness to learn from President Bio’s experiences and insights garnered from the summit, particularly regarding the preparation of traditional Sierra Leonean dishes like sweet pemahun and cassava leaves.
The Clean Cook Summit serves as a platform for leaders, innovators, and advocates to collaborate on solutions aimed at improving access to clean cooking technologies and reducing household air pollution.
Instead of learning how to cook learn what to cook. Sierra Leone is really a misguided state there’s much to improve on agriculture for people to eat than opening chest in cooking summit.
What a nonsense
Like your humour. Majority of Sierra Leoneans don’t cook. We can’t afford to cook a days meal, we live on cookery. Maybe our DEAR LEADER should concentrate in lessons of how to run a country’s Economy and a befitting one is, now to man manage and bring the Nations together.
Now you realised that agriculture is important right?
JFK intelligently mocked the president
Is this not sheer idleness & waste of country’s money? Are there not more pressing matters of state the president shd occupy himself with other than wasting tax payer’s money on things that our international reps can take care of out there?
