Less than two days to the multi-elections, supporters of the two oldest political parties in Sierra Leone have been invited to join and vote for the Republic National Independent Party (ReNIP) if they want to see a change in the country’s political history.
Beresford Victor Williams, the Presidential candidate, and his Running Mate, Ms. Kadijatu Bangura for RENIP, made this clarion call following the tension between the main opposition All People’s Congress (APC) and ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP), leading to disruption of people’s businesses on Monday and Tuesday that it is time supporters of both parties rally behind him for a complete change.
He told this medium that both parties have got the opportunity to change the country fromdonor-drivenn to one of the most developed countries in the sub-region but “greed and selfishness divert the attention of these politicians to corruption”, said ReNIP’s front runner.
He has promised that he will fix the economy and provide over a million jobs to keep the youths busy and reduce the high spate of drug abuse amongst our youths.
“It is about time Sierra Leoneans make better use of their votes by voting for me and the party on Saturday if they want sustainable free medical, water supply for unreached communities, and electricity among other opportunities which the people of Sierra Leone deserve so much”, he emphasized, noting that his manifesto provides all the solutions to turn the country into one of the fastest growing economies.
“Fixing the economy of our beloved country requires hard work that should be devoid of corruption”, he pointed out, adding that with ReNIP, Sierra Leoneans will start saving money as a result of price control and investment in the business sector.
He raised alarm over the minimum wage paid to Sierra Leoneans at the end of the month saying that his party will ensure that the minimum wage is raised to a better standard so that the people appreciate hoping that at the end of the month, they will be able to take care of themselves and their families.
Beresford Victor Williams has vehemently joined well-meaning Sierra Leoneans in condemning all forms of electoral violence. He urged that youths should not allow ill-motivated people to disrupt the peace the country deserves, pointing out that the negative effects of the eleven years war should not be forgotten.
Choosing a dynamic female as Running Mate, according to Mr. Williams, can not be unconnected to his dream of promoting women and their children.
