2023 Elections: David Sengeh Compares APC, SLPP Manifestoes

The Minister of Basic and Senior Secondary Education, Dr. David Moinina Sengeh has drew comparison between the All People’s Congress (APC) manifesto and the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) manifesto.

“SLPP: 120 pages; Abridged SLPP Manifesto: 24 pages; APC Manifesto: 10 pages; Abridged APC Manifesto: 8 pages,” Sengeh compared the two manifestoes on his Facebook page.

The Education Minister also continued to mock the APC manifesto by criticising their style of writing and presentation of planning.

“Did you notice that there is absolutely no number, target, figure, percentage or data in the entirety of the APC manifesto?” he questioned.

Minister Sengeh also suggested that the APC party’s theme “One Nation” is likened to the SLPP’s One Country, One People slogan.

The main opposition APC launched their manifesto on Monday focusing on 10 key areas including national unity and cohesion, accelerate investments, strengthen economic diplomacy and intensify efforts in job creation.

In Sierra Leone, West Africa Born a son named David Monina Sengeh who is now the NEW MINISTER OF EDUCATION ON PLANET EARTH FOR THE YEAR 2022/2023 AND 2023/2024 partly, this is so true that of which we can not run away from. for example. People call some candidate in the tray as Sierra Leone economic expatriate. So my people if we are dressing such person interns of EDUCATION one has to be very careful. this is directly going to all political leaders, politicians, bloggers, journalist Presidential Candidate aspirants educationist, party members, civil servants nationalist in Sierra Leone in the world at large. From his analysis and comparison made on the two political party manefestoes, he did measure few things. and let me tell you the thing he made measure of are the basis of which UN, WORLD BANK, IFM, ADB, COMMON WEALTH, UK US and all of our allies / partners rely on during decision making to fund give funding for instance to Sierra Leone Government. these includes : a) Total Populations 1. male 2. Female 3. youth 4.Children including school going Children b) GDP in % c) Trade INCLUDING EXPORT/IMPORT d) Human right records by % In other words our partners the Europeans may like to understand our governance structure percentage ( % ) in all areas. or in the form of FIGURES. not in any form of sacka stick manner ie we have men, women, and children in Sierra Leone. but HOW MANY men, women etc. should be the food for thought.. One may WANT to say we don't need ambiguous one but a simple MANIFESTOE............oh yes simple manifesto, but mind you the document is not only a national one but international. proof me wrong ?. Am not a politician, so Sierra Leone. let pay attention to Dr Sengeh comment and concerned about the proposed national plan for the country (MANEFESTO). he has seen what the world is about to see................. and if they see it in that sate the might mean to say that we are not serious as a nation.

David! you and your SLPP ninng guys will not change our minds again, ur jocker Bio has said it (we nor da kill Posen again) and we are tired with your rotorata gv with the hard ship in mama salon.good bye....🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋. Come June 24 APC BACK TO POWER for there good intentions..
Yusuf Kabia | 2023-05-31 10:25:03

APC party is indeed a target for the SLPP just imagine, they wrote there manifesto and none of the APC members condemn it because it was written to best of their knowledge and understand. And to prove that the SLPP are indeed afraid of the APC Party that is the reason for condemning the Manifesto of APC. The "ONE NATION" Theme simply represent the country not SLPP slogan. David should be thinking of what should be there campaign messages to the people of Sierra Leone and believe me SLPP should not be promise at this point in time but they should be saying that, these are our achievement and if you believe in us, then make your choice. Trust me, we are no more fools to listen to promises. Upon all the killing, intimation, regionalism, nepotism, tribalism and the same Prezo Bio is now promise us that "we nor dae kill again campaign" Please let's put Salone fose n forget about tribal and regional politics

The facts are laid before you by the Minister of Education. To counteract those facts, show us evidences referencing your APC manifesto. The argument does not call for all the negative words and insults and molestation against the Hon Minister and HE the President. Those insults and molestation are not convincing to the average Sierra Leonean trust me. President Bio has said this so many times that ’APC nor good for densef and den nor good for dis country’. Proof him wrong. But the thing is that your party is built on the philosophy of insulting very good people, people of substance to the society you hate completely. We know what you stand for and we saw it exhibited over the years of APC rule in this country. You left us with the mess of tribalism, regionalism, poor economy, no reserve, bartered economy, mammy curse etc. all the things you accuse SLPP of are reflects of APC. It’s psychological- a mirror reflection. Please go and do your homework properly if you want to avoid these talk shows on social media. You are exposing your incapability to rule this country. Give us logical facts as laid before you by the Minister!!!

Thanks Mr. Minister, for a well deserving job done on Apc manifesto. Apc, sierra Leonians 're not stupid any more. Contemplate on the above for 2028 .
Edward Conteh | 2023-05-31 01:25:50

What makes the dysfunctional & defunct bogus so-called education minister right?. What right trajectory are you people indicating. You people are naive, and equally culpable in crime?. Look Sierra Leoneans both Bio & his chaotic so-called minister of Education are both not fit for any purpose, these guys therefore, belongs to the dust bin of history, as citizens of the country are now living testament to my assertion. Why would a failed & a thief, bogus so-called minister of education talk about anything called manifesto in the first place. These defunct and dysfunctional guys have consistently abused the country’s education system. These reprobate pathological persistent liers have corrupted the country’s reputation & once powerful education system. Look where the country’s education system is today. As I stated earlier, that it’s high time for Bio and his henchmen of thieves, in the likes of mr. bogus So-called education minister to pack up now and leave quietly, otherwise the people’s judgment shall surely fall upon them soon. Shame on defunct & dysfunctional Bio and his so-called incompetent minister of education for the plunder of the central bank & the education sector of the entire country, despite Hugh donor funds, nothing is apparent. thieves at the helm of affairs is indeed a conundrum. These corrupt cartel brought nothing good, to it’s people, other than misrule, misery, financial inequalities, lies, innocent killings, intentional bigotry, central bank plunder and the injection of regional identity division or politics. These thieves,& looters, should shut up, good for nothing & do nothing regime. What moral high ground do the incompetent bogus minister have to even talk about manifesto, after failing or destroying the education sector in the country. Shut up mr. Minister, you & your vampire leader are not fit for any purpose nor govern the people. You were giving the opportunity by the people to govern, but you woefully and faithful failed the people. So what next, please vacate peacefully or the wrath of the people’s judgment shall visit all of in distance near future. Enemies of the people and the country shall never and ever prevail.

If the APC manifesto was a presentation for a very important and high-paying job, then Mr Samura Kamara will not get the job. So why should he and the APC get the very important job of governing the affairs of Sierra Leone? Tell me?
Francis Fogbawa | 2023-05-30 21:44:13

As the world best education minister, the international body is now critically analysing your views on the two manifestoes, and positive views have been expressed on “SLPP: 120 pages; Abridged SLPP Manifesto: 24 pages; against the APC Manifesto: 10 pages; Abridged APC Manifesto: 8 pages,”. That the SLPP manifesto speaks volumes of rational and reasonable thought for future planning and nation building. Thanks for showing us the light at the end of it all.
Yussuf | 2023-05-30 21:26:10

We need political hygiene and in doing so we do not need a parrotious manifesto. We need one which is precise and succinct that captures the reality of all what will be done and not a deceptive "langa" "langa" manifesto.
Muhammed L.Corneh | 2023-05-30 20:28:56

The Education Minister's opinion is on the right trajectory which leads to the path of patriotism and development.
Mohamed Kamara | 2023-05-30 17:24:39

Salia Issa | 2023-05-30 16:27:02

We should all pray to God almighty to give us good leather for our sweet nation mama salone.No need for us to be fighting each other because we are one.
Fatima | 2023-05-30 16:08:09

You are education minister but you're a fool 😂 are we not in the same country mama salone? oo you want them to say different nation or people? The write up in every manifesto is for the people and the betterment of the nation
Frederick J Tucker | 2023-05-30 15:59:08

Dr David Sengeh is absolutely correct. Apc are not taking the people of this country seriously. Very childish manifesto with the things mentioned they're not even sure of doing it. Is a disgrace. They're very skeptical of themselves. Is like presenting a home work to your teacher u didn't take your time to do proper research, very doubtful of it which you're not even sure of passing.
Ishmieal MS Kamara | 2023-05-30 15:40:48

Where there is no sensible people the kingdom of fools excess A p c doesn't have anything good to point at God will continue to bless you Dr David sengeh
Edward Conteh | 2023-05-30 15:29:44

Wow these dysfunctional and defunct bunch of SLPP thieves shamelessly & incompetently destroyed the country’s economy in just the last 5 years. These sycophants,& psychopaths, & vampires are attempting to introduce the politics of distraction, but that would never happen or work , because the hand writing is clearly on the wall. This thuggish SLPP do nothing party and government thinks Sierra Leoneans are fools. Look APC manifesto is precisely clean and clear except for illiterate folks within the Paopa regime who seems to be flabbergasted & frantically having problem with their ignorance. Why would a shameless, fail do nothing government attempt to make comparison between the two opposites manifestos. Hey SLPP your politics of distraction would never work, don’t make trouble, so pack up now & vacate state house with immediate effect.
Regina Kombe-Kajue | 2023-05-30 15:21:14

APC are day dreaming of coming to power, even if you say your life depends on your manifesto you will never come to power in this country. You want to come and destroy what MAADA BIO has struggled to make just as Ernest did to Tejan Kabba. Please wait for another 30yrs so that when APC want to come to power they meet the country developed and they will not dare to destroy it.
Allen k Johnny | 2023-05-30 15:13:56

Yeah, it's true all what you said mr. ministry's of education, But some of my brother's and sister's don't understand, The only thing they want to know is that, They want the APC party to be in power okay, In condition, And also why you guy's called APC party as Mighty , And you said that only APC can bring development into this country, That's totally unbelievable trusted me, Just take a look at the Free And Quality Education, The Airport, And the bridge that they construct in some parts in the country and not only that etc.
Noah | 2023-05-30 15:02:56

For those that are opposing the SLPP if you go back to our political history you will realize the the APC party is not healthy for our beloved mama salone. If you love salone and put her at the center whe reading the history you will come to understand that all the suffering and wars we have encountered is caused by the APC but if you have been infected by colour, party or tribe, you will not see this truth.
Adolphus Swaray | 2023-05-30 14:55:55

It is true that the theme "ONE NATION" is likened to that of the SLPP slogan "ONE COUNTRY ONE PEOPLE" and you guys in the APC didn't notice or rather of ignorance didn't notice that your manifesto has definitely no number, target, figure, percentages or data.
Grant Kamara | 2023-05-30 14:17:47

David Sengeh, even if you make any mockery that would not change our minds set; we the meaningful or 'soba' Sierra Leoneans we are tired of your daily slpp propagandas!!!. Twenty four days left, for the General Elections and we're going to show how the Mighty A. P. C manifesto is Over powerful for the people of this 👆 Nation 🇸🇱.... Without A. P. C. No development for this country 🇸🇱 and we're tired of enslavery, tribalism, religionalizm, nepotism, sectionalism. Etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc...........
Sylvester Bockarie | 2023-05-30 13:55:58

The education minister is quite correct to say that.
