The National Publicity Secretary of the All People’s Congress, Sidie Yayah Tunis, has on an interview with Munya Bawoh of JDC Radio 96.1 FM in Daru, spoke on the APC New Constitution, the Economic hardship of Sierra Leone and the Coalition of the APC and other Political parties to remove the SLPP from power in the upcoming 2023 elections.

According to Hon Tunis, the APC constitution which was gazetted on the 7th march, will become the official constitution of the Party on the 25th of this month 2022 and this constitution will represent the 1995 constitution and all the provisions on the new constitution will cover the operations and activities of the All People’s Congress Party.

Responding to Munya Bawoh on the Peter Conteh issue, Hon Tunis affirmed that the lawyers on both sides have presented their cases and arguments and that they are now waiting on the judges to give their rulings which they are expecting will come anytime from now.

“However, We want to assure that the APC will do all the needful before the 2023 elections will start. We will be well prepared ahead of the elections” he added.

Hon Yayah Tunis, when speaking on the economic hardship of the country, stressed on the unending increment of food stuffs and fuel, which have caused more suffering for the people of this country. He furthered that, this is happening because the present government is bent on removing their burden of responsibilities from their shoulders and placing it on the people’s shoulders.

Hon Tunis continued that, we the people are being treated that way because we allow governments not to take us serious because of that ideology to vote in favor of tribalism and regionalism even when we are aware that the government has not done anything good for the country.

Speaking on the question of Munya Bawoh of what he has to say about Good Governance, he made mention of the difference the APC party set in Kailahun even though the people of kailahun did not voted for them in 2007. He said because the APC believes that it is not a single area that constitutes Sierra Leone, they constructed better roads, built hospitals, provided pipe borne waters and installed Solar lights, for the people of Kailahun, so that they will understand that Governance is not about who voted for you or which tribe you belong, but it is about the development of the entire country.

He further stated that this is the mentality the APC want the people to understand. “Government that does not work for the people, should be changed but government that works for the people should not be changed just because of regionalism” he added.

Responding to Journalist Bawoh about the coalition set up to remove the SLPP from power, he affirmed that their focus is to reduce the suffering of the people of this country, that is why all the major opposition parties of this country have come together.

He added that because they have all noticed that the present government is not doing well as compared to what the previous government did and that because they have seen how the people are suffering more under this government than they ever suffered under any other government, they have all sat down as political parties and decided to redeem the people from this poverty.

“The only way to do that is to work together as political parties to overthrow this Government through the ballot box” he ended.
