Julius Maada Bio, the presidential candidate from the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) has unveiled the “New Direction Manifesto” at the Eastern Technical University in Kenema.
The manifesto focuses on five key thematic areas known as “The Big Five” and is considered a contractual agreement between the SLPP and the people of Sierra Leone.

Which will fuel inclusive economic growth, boost food production, reduce hunger & poverty. create jobs, boost export earnings and build our resilience in the face of climate change.
HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT
Nurturing Skills for 21st Century Industry Inclusive economic growth relies on skilled and educated human capital. In the next five years, the SLPP government will invest in developing the technical and vocational skills required to grow the economy focusing particularly on creating equal opportunity for women. We will invest in health systems to develop a healthy and capable workforce for a 21st century economy.
YOUTH EMPLOYMENT SCHEME (YES!)

These jobs will include skills and unskilled. long-term and seasonal jobs across all sectors. This will be done by providing incentives to the private sector to hire, train, and upskill especially young women and girls.

TECH AND INFRASTRUCTURE
Pathways for Sustained Economic Growth (TIPEG) The SLPP government will accelerate its inclusive growth agenda by investing in infrastruc- ture, technology and digitisation. This will be done by investing in energy generation and transmission, the construction of roads and bridges, expanding energy access across the country, and making it easier to link production centres and markets.

Mr.Bio, you last election campaign was on PAOPA, which means” Prompt Action On Poverty Allivation”. Where you able to Allivate poverty or increase poverty to Sierra Leoneans in the last five years?
You also campaign to bring Free Quality Education (FQE). Today, Sierra Leoneans are experiencing the Worst quality education since Independent. Children only pass their WASCE exams through their phones. Besides, every Tiatery institution in this country does not believe in the WASCE exams and so prefer their entrance examinations for admission into colleges. Also, within your five years in office, Sierra Leone has witnessed the highest number of your ministers and senior public officers working with FAKE degrees.So your talk about quality education is a Sham.
Maada Bio you are the first president to Sack the Auditor General of the country because she exposed your criminal and illegitimate use of government the resources. What a Shame!!
Bio, you are the only president that have stolen more money from the Central Bank for your personal use than any other President. Your theft made a whole Bank Governor ran away from your greed. What a Shame!!
Please tell the people of Sierra Leone WHY they should vote for you.
If really you have done your assignment well, you do not need to worry about keeping the Voter registration data.
PLEASE RELEASE THE DATA.
As a Sierra Leonean who’s looking at the brighter future of our beloved country, I pray that whoever wins this forthcoming election delivers effective and efficient services for All.
