God get patient for these pathological lier and scammers.You guys can run from the truth,but you cannot hide from the truth.It’s just a matter of time for your naked lies to be revealed to the world.Maada and his cohorts think they can muscled the Auditor general and her deputy for doing their job of revealing their clandestine looting of state funds.
The allegations are succinct and straightforward, hard to alter justice. Let’s trust the process until it confirms otherwise. The procedure is marred with professionalism. The testimonies from witnesses will confer the process. Our political alignment shouldn’t alter our view of the procedure.
