Former President Koroma Granted Medical Leave Outside Sierra Leone⁩

Former President Ernest Bai Koroma has been granted permission to leave Sierra Leone for urgent medical treatment.

The approval follows a successful bail review application submitted by his legal team, seeking a ninety-day allowance for his overseas medical attention.

Justice S.O. Taylor has examined the bail conditions and authorized Former President Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma, currently facing charges of Treason and others, to travel abroad for medical treatment.

Earlier reports from Sierraloaded highlighted the health challenges faced by Ernest Bai Koroma, including hypertension, diabetes, and cardiac problems. The former President’s health has deteriorated over the past two months since his alleged connection to the coup attempt.

A medical report detailing severe chest pain and the necessity for a medical procedure not available in Sierra Leone underscored the urgency of his situation, emphasizing the risk of a severe heart attack without immediate treatment.

According to the former President’s Lawyers, it’s not yet clear as to which country he will be traveling to for his medical checkup. However, Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma, is expected to appear before the court on March 6, 2024.

If I was Koita Lawyer, I will ask the court for a bail, to enable him to travel back to London for medical treatment. Infact, all of the other accused persons should go overseas for medical treatment. Does this mean that out doctor's are not competent enough to treat a former president? This is ridiculous. This man will never return to Sierra Leone. He will be travelling all over Africa, enjoying his ill gotten wealth, and claiming to be a Statesman. What a shame!

Ridiculous !! The former president had ruled this country for eleven years. During his tenure of office, free medical was introduced as his flagship program and to date that's what we are surviving on as citizens; so let him enjoy the benefits of his labour equally rather than going to overseas. Ponder my thoughts !!
