See some reactions below:
@ pohboy: “What business do we have discussing strengthen Rule of Law with the British? Sone of the things we do are nauseating. What is the meaning of 27 April 1961? Or are we still a British colony?”
@ SNghoni: “When did our government start to have joint consultation on how our justice department works? Where is our country heading into. The British embassy has no reason to interferes into our justice department, it’s becoming too much.”
@SBabie2022: “Is Lisa the only diplomat in Sierra Leone? Is she the monitor. What is this hyper meddling? AG please show her the exist door if she comes hopping around your office. She wants to tamper with the court processes and the investigations. Drive her away fast!”
@ SNghoni: “If you guys are not ready to do your job, resign and let the British ambassador apply for the position. You better wake up from your colonial enslavement mentality.”
Why are so many fools in Sierra Leone despite their education. The commissioner is talking about the rule of law and democracy and fools here are talking about politics, it is time we put some sense in our head not politics in our head. This kind of discussion is for the good of our nation not for political parties no wonder why the criticism.
Let focus on improving the rule of law and democracy in Sierra Leone as this will add value to our nation.
These are the so called educated fools
British high commission please stay back from our constitution so you will not implicate your self you have your own constitution and we have ours we need our right please.
