Or Bai Cornelius,
Your President Ernest Bai Koroma and your "new" All People's Congress (APC), would have executed the 14 military officers of Teko Barracks who had been accused of treason if the Judge Advocate Otto During had not dismissed the charges against them. MAY GOD BLESS Judge During.
To quote Yogi Berra, "It's déjà vu all over again". Your "new" APC is the same as the old APC. It was Justice Marcus Cole, Attorney General N.A.P. Buck and one Dr. Abdulai Osman Conteh who was part of the prosecution team which found Dr. Forna, Ibrahim Taqi, Brigadier David Lansana, Bai Mkari N'Silk and Lieutenant Habib Lansana Kamara guilty for a fake coup and were executed on July 19, 1975.
Korthor Cornelius you are aware that I am very wise not to buy into the "accomplishments" of your EBK and your APC. In 2009 when I criticized the economy of Ernest's APC, the rebuttal of his idiotic supporters including some of my relatives were that it was a worldwide problem because "my president" Barack Hussein Obama's economy had a 10 percent unemployment rate and his (Obama's) economy was losing about 600,000 jobs a month. Then, in Obama's economy there were massive job loses, but look at "my president" Obama's economy now. He has created more than 13 million jobs and the unemployment rate is 5 percent. How many jobs has EBK created since he was elected president and what is the rate of unemployment in Sierra Leone again? PLEASE.
Your EBK and your APC were not awarded the grant from the Millennium Challenge Corporation for 2015 because of the THIEVERY of his party and him.
I would love to compare Sierra Leone now and another country with fewer natural resources, but that would be INSANE so I will NOT.
One of the adages of Professor Gomes from Guyana who taught Sociology of Poverty was that "Blacks are titled conscious". In Tonkolili we revere the chieftaincy and not the chief, consequently, I am not awed by Kanu's "titles".
Brother Cornelius, "… what good works" have your EBK and your APC accomplished in Sierra Leone with regards to accountability, transparency and governance? Eight years in politics is an eternity in which his party and he should have made tremendous strides socially and economically but THEY WOULD NOT. There are NO ADJECTIVES that can describe the state of "politics" in Sierra Leone because the GOVERNED DO NOT KNOW THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES to the 'government' and the 'administrations' are CALLOUS TO THE GOVERNED. "Monkey donia, all man for imself, God for we all" (to quote former President George H. W. Bush, "It is a dog eat dog world").
I told all the APC supporters including members of my extended family that EBK's APC will be similar to Stevens' and Momoh's APC, and Tejan Kabbah's Sierra Leone People's Party. I REST MY CASE. Those who voted for your EBK and your APC were not "expecting any miracles", but they were anticipating a better standard of living, accountability, governance and transparency, because they had VOTED FOR CHANGE.
