In a recent defense of President Julius Maada Bio’s leadership, Minister of Information Chernor Bah addressed criticism regarding the President’s frequent international travels, emphasizing the strategic importance of these trips.
Speaking in response to journalist Thomas Dixon, Bah highlighted President Bio’s critical role in regional diplomacy and economic recovery efforts.
Minister Bah stressed that President Bio’s travels are often statutory, such as his recent visit to Burkina Faso, where he was called upon to mediate the ongoing military coups in West Africa.
He pointed out that international bodies, including the United Nations Security Council, recognize the necessity of Bio’s engagement in global and regional issues, particularly in his leadership role within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
Minister Bah also addressed concerns about the domestic economy, acknowledging the country’s challenges but pointing to significant progress made under President Bio’s administration. He noted the reduction of inflation from over 20% to single digits before the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global markets. He also highlighted advancements in education, particularly achieving gender parity in school enrollment and reducing maternal mortality at the fastest rate in the world.
Additionally, Bah touched on Sierra Leone’s newly established Mineral Wealth Fund, a government initiative aimed at taking greater control of the country’s mineral resources. While admitting that more information on the fund’s workings is needed, he emphasized that it represents a significant step toward nationalizing the country’s wealth and ensuring dividends benefit the people of Sierra Leone.
Despite the hardships facing the nation, Minister Bah argued that the government’s intentional strategies are laying a strong foundation for future growth. He urged critics to consider the trajectory of progress rather than focusing solely on current challenges.
We pray for leader that has the country at heart
Good afternoon, fellew citizens of sierra leone. Ok, Mr. Dixon for your acknowledgement of our president achievements, thank you. Now you have all those good ideas per say, I don’t know if you are one of the APC, because their ways of live in sierra leone is to criticise and destroy progress in the country and says, the ground is dried. LOL. Why can’t you join hands together with the government to make the betterments of sierra leone. That is how a good citizens should be, and wait for your turn if any, or contest for presidency and do better than our president. It is so much annoying to read some of you people criticism, like JFK another big ….. in the club. Please, call spade, a spade. I am a sierra leonean who loves his country, sierra leone. May the almighty God protect our president, family, cabinets, our people and the nation of sierra leone. Amen.

This current government is full of immature and inexperienced ministers who have no idea in running a state. What are the dividends this country has gained from the too many travels that the president has emback on since he took power? Absolutely, nothing to write about. He and his political puppets are busy wasting the resources of this country ,but time will tell. They will surely face their judgement. We have heard many cocks and bulls stories.
