The National Publicity Secretary of Sierra Leone’s main opposition party, the All People’s Congress (APC), Sidi Yayah Tunis, has raised concerns about the current state of the country’s economy.
Tunis criticised the ruling Bio administration, claiming significant price increases for basic necessities like rice and electricity are negatively impacting citizens. He stated, “The country’s economy is in a very bad shape” and highlighted the rising cost of living, with the price of a bag of rice exceeding the average worker’s minimum wage.
“That is very difficult and if you look at electricity tariff it is high, in 2018 when you buy 100leones top up you may have 53 units as compared to now that you buy same 100leones top which may just give you about 12units.”
He said, that when the Bio administration came to power in 2018, they assured the people of Sierra Leone that they would make the lives and living conditions very appropriate for the people but their actions are not reflecting the statements.
He compared the current situation to the previous APC government, led by President Ernest Bai Koroma (2008-2018). Tunis argued that during their tenure, “the APC was able to generate enough revenue to even take on infrastructural projects” without relying on donor funds. He further contrasted the APC’s ability to generate revenue and address recurrent expenditure with the current government’s struggles.
Tunis called for a “national discussion on the economy,” suggesting that all stakeholders need to be involved in addressing the country’s worsening economic situation.
Bio’s government is complete rubbish. They just gathered a bunch of thieves together, All of them are thieves and they are there deceiving people that they are fighting against corruption. That is why they first started by commissioning the past government, so that they will distract the innocent citizens for seeing them doing their evil deeds. They are acting as if they are saints, but behind the scenes they are Satan. Bio’s government all of them will go to hell for all the suffering they have put we the innocent citizens
The Apcians don’t have shame at all that’s why they’re talking rubbish about the Economic crisis, the past Government APC reck the Sierra Leone Economic totally.

The key responsibility of any government is to improve the life of its citizens. Failing to do so is rather unfortunate!!!!
