Kush Was Brought to Sierra Leone Under APC Government – President Bio

31 Oct 2025 • 2 min read • 3,068 views • 4 comments

Sierra Leone’s President Julius Maada Bio has dismissed claims that the Sierra Leone People’s Party is responsible for the kush drug crisis in Sierra Leone. 

Speaking during a visit to the Government’s Harmful Drug Rehabilitation Facility in Hastings, Bio assured recovering victims of his administration’s unwavering commitment to ending the harmful drug pandemic while disclosing that Kush has been in the county since 2014 when his party was in the opposition.

“Some  people said SLPP brought Kush to Sierra Lone ut Kush has been coming into Sierra Leone since 2014, at a time when we were still in opposition.” Bio said.

President Bio further expressed deep concern over the growing abuse of kush and other synthetic substances, describing the trend as a national crisis that threatens the country’s future.

“If you destroy your future now, there will be no one to develop Sierra Leone. I see a very bright future in all of you. We want you to be better citizens than us and that’s why we are breaking the chain of supply of these harmful drugs,” he told the victims.

The President condemned those involved in the production and sale of kush, particularly parents who profit from the illicit trade, calling it a betrayal of parental duty.

“It saddens me to learn that some parents are selling kush. I urge them to stop immediately and find a decent way to earn a living,” he warned.

Mr President, stop politicking, accept the blame and be resolute in ending this epidemic. The average sierra Leonean is not a fool.
