Joseph Fitzgerald Kamara ESQ, a prominent member of the main opposition All Peoples Congress Party (APC) and legal representative to Former President Ernest Bai Koroma, has expressed deep concern about the recent corruption investigation involving the Clerk of Parliament, Hon. Paran Umar Tarawalley, and his wife, Mrs. Abibatu Tarawally.
Kamara raised questions about when citizens would benefit from the government’s actions.
On January 14, 2024, the Anti-Corruption Commission released a press statement shedding light on an ongoing investigation into claims that the Clerk of Parliament improperly employed his wife without adhering to due processes. The inquiry also revealed that Mrs. Abibatu Tarawally was receiving a monthly salary without fulfilling her duties.
In response, Joseph Fitzgerald Kamara compared the Sierra Leone situation to Michaela Wrong’s novel “It’s our turn to eat,” emphasizing the Clerk of Parliament’s wife being on the payroll without contributing any work. While acknowledging that critics may link such issues to the APC, Kamara questioned when it would be the people’s turn to benefit from governance.
He remarked, “Sierra Leone today, is best described in Michaela Wrong’s novel “ It’s our turn to eat”. The wife of the Clerk of Parliament reportedly on payroll for no work done. Critics will say, it was started by APC. But, when will it be the turn of the people to eat.”
The corruption investigation has raised concerns about accountability and transparency in the government, particularly due to the involvement of high-profile individuals. Kamara’s statement mirrors a broader sentiment of frustration among citizens seeking fair and just governance.
As the Anti-Corruption Commission continues its investigation, the government’s response to increasing calls for accountability remains uncertain. This situation challenges the current administration’s commitment to combating corruption and ensuring public office benefits citizens.
Sierra Leoneans are closely monitoring the investigation’s developments, recognizing that the outcome could significantly impact public trust in government institutions. Joseph Fitzgerald Kamara’s vocal position serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight against corruption and the importance of leaders prioritizing the welfare of the people over personal gain.
Ogiri dey laugh kainda for smell.
Ooh salone, a man talking against corruption and supporting someone with alleged treason case
What an irony. Are these not the people tha was crying about the findings of the commission of inquiry??. Yet again, the same people that said Sierra Leone is a sovereign state, ECOWAS shouldn’t tell them anything, during the Sam Samura case. Why is the APC always with 2 faces??
Well said, JFK! Indeed, it started with your former boss, who cared more about using the innocent people’s money to build multi-million dollar palaces, and stashing millions of dollars in various bank accounts. You need to take a look again, at the C.O.I report, to see that it’s not critic that will say it started with the APC, it’s the fact. Yes, it’s time for the people to start “eating”.
Mr hydra JFK, it is not a shame even commenting. Some people are just big with empty head in sierra leone. You are one of the persons should be helpping to develop sierra leone, instead you are destroying sierra leone. How? You have no respect for the rules of law in the nation of sierra leone. I can say this because I am a sierra leonean, and I want peace and love in my country. Most of you are HYDRA CREATURES been put in sierra leone. May the Lord almighty drown them as He did against the enemies of Israel in Moses’ time, amen. Call spade a spade.
JFK, as there never been a corruption in the past APC government?
