Sierra Leone’s main opposition party, the All People’s Congress (APC), strongman, Ady Macauley, recently took to Twitter and highlighted four things that matter in Sierra Leone, while voicing his concerns over recent petition against opposition presidential Candidate Samura kamara.
He declared that no amount of bogus and misdirected legal action would distract the resilient people of Sierra Leone from the issues that truly mattered.
Ady Macauley emphasized the stark reality of everyday life where he highlighted four key factors that he said matters in sierra Leone at present.
He pointed out that a single liter of petrol commanded an exorbitant price of Le 21,500, while a bag of rice, a staple food for many, cost a staggering Le 650,000.
To compound the struggles, the exchange rate left the people grappling with an unrelenting burden as $1 dollar sold for Le 23,350.
Despite these pressing concerns, he criticized the electoral commission of Sierra Leone for its refusal to publish the voter register, causing further frustration among the public.
These events unfolded following a petition filed by Mr. Paul M. Kamara, a former Flagbearer aspirant and Minister of Sports under the APC, to the supreme court challenging the candidacy of Dr. Samura Kamara, the current APC presidential candidate.
The thing about the hardship is real. But I don’t believe the people of Sierra Leone trust the APC of fixing it. Especially with the same set of people that contributed to everything. Afterwards many that voted in 2007 for APC are still active voters. And the witnessed how APC handled the economy.
APC should have got the chance, even if it had chosen Ady , or Bai Mahmud, or Timbo. But those same guys.
But you are not in the minds of the people why you say the people don’t believe that APC will fix the hardship .if you compare the past and the present government which one is more better.Remember the past do ten years and SLPP do five years.
I agree these are some of the problems facing the people of Sierra Leone.
But what borders me more is the level of ungratefulness or ingrate attitudes that are manifested by those OLD politicians. How can we now TRUST people? Imagine Victor Foe ,Alpha Kanu, Samuel Sam Sumana, Dr.Kelfara Mara, Alfred Peter Conteh’ and many others. Are these people to be trusted? Maada Bio please take your time while dealing with these people.
I don’t really know why some people are selfish in our country specifically. All what Ady Macauley have illustrated it’s not matter. What matter for them it’s we their political ambition. If we are rational,we should be thinking generally.the whole world is facing global challenges. I can’t talk about us in sierra Leone,let bring in Ghana economy,even today Network announced that IMF have agreed to disburse 3 billion dollars to rebuild their economy. Government have come and passed, just five years in governance of President JMB , people expectations has become so high, without thinking back about those who have served and gone. What legacies could the actually put in place before the left power. Then the government in power didn’t return, in that particular project again.
I think the Sierra Leone economy needs strong policies to develop a better economic state all of this takes the grace of God to have trustworthy politicians to do so. As for me am praying to my God to show all eligible voters in Sierra Leone who those politicians are so that on that day of voting some of us if not all will go in for those politician and vote for them. With God all things are possible. I rest my case
