*Audit Exposes Five Years of SLPP Theft: How Maada Bio’s Regime Stole Our Future*
Let me walk you through the numbers—but not in the way they present it to confuse you. No. I’ll make it clear, and I’ll show you just how deep this betrayal runs. It’s not just numbers on a page; it’s about what has been stolen from you, me, and every single Sierra Leonean under the leadership of the SLPP Maada Bio regime. The Auditor General’s report didn’t just expose corruption; it unearthed a five-year legacy of deceit.
2019: Le177.5 billion gone.
2020: Le153.9 billion vanished.
2021: Le175.5 billion missing.
2022: A jaw-dropping Le317 billion stolen.
2023: Le233.7 billion quietly siphoned away.
A total of Le1.057 trillion—our money, our future, our hope—was stolen without remorse. But let me break this down for you in a way you’ll truly feel the weight of this disaster.
Imagine What Le1.057 Trillion Could Do
Let’s not get lost in the zeros; let’s bring it home.
Health Care That Saves Lives
With Le1.057 trillion, we could have built 1,500 world-class health centers. Imagine mothers giving birth in safe, clean hospitals. Imagine children no longer dying of treatable diseases because the nearest clinic is hours away. But what do we have instead? Clinics with no medicine, hospitals with no beds, and doctors begging for basic supplies.
Schools to Educate Our Children
That money could have built over 2,000 modern schools or trained thousands of teachers. Picture classrooms with desks, books, and hope. Instead, we see children crammed under trees or in crumbling buildings, their futures stolen before they’ve even begun.
Roads to Build Our Economy
Do you know how many kilometers of roads Le1.057 trillion could have paved? At least 800 kilometers! It could have connected our villages to cities, opened up trade routes, and saved lives during emergencies. But we’re still stuck navigating potholes while government convoys speed past in luxury SUVs bought with stolen funds.
This Isn’t Just Theft; It’s Murder by Neglect
Let’s call it what it is. This kind of theft isn’t just financial—it’s criminal. Every leone stolen by Maada Bio’s regime is a leone that could have saved a life, educated a child, or built a future.
Think about 2022: Le317 billion gone in a single year. That’s more than enough to have rescued the unreliable, dysfunctional ambulances and provided free healthcare for every Sierra Leonean that year and across. Instead, we watched our loved ones die because hospitals couldn’t even afford painkillers.
And what about 2023’s Le233.7 billion? That could have funded Quality education for hundreds of thousands of children. Instead, parents scrape together their last pennies while the SLPP officials send their kids abroad to private schools.
What Did They Do With the Money?
Do you see the mansions springing up in Freetown? Do you see the flashy cars, the expensive vacations, and the private jets? That’s where your money went. It went into their pockets while they struggled to buy a bag of rice.
They promised us a “New Direction,” but instead, they looted us blind. The “direction” they took was straight to foreign bank accounts, leaving us to sink into poverty.
Let’s Talk About the Exchange Rate
Do you know how much Le1.057 trillion is in U.S. dollars? Roughly $105 million. And do you know what $105 million could do?
It could have funded free maternal care for every pregnant woman in Sierra Leone for five years.
It could have electrified thousands of villages still living in darkness.
It could have provided clean drinking water to millions of Sierra Leoneans who still rely on polluted streams.
But what did they do instead? They plunged us deeper into debt, raised taxes, and smiled for the cameras while holding scissors at ribbon-cutting ceremonies for projects they never funded.
How Does This Affect You/Us?
Let me bring it even closer to home.
That bag of rice that costs Le 850 now? It would have been half that price if the stolen funds had been used to subsidize agriculture.
Those electricity bills you can’t afford? They’d be lower if the money hadn’t been wasted on fake projects.
That job you can’t find? Imagine the industries that could have been created if those billions were invested in local businesses.
This theft isn’t just about billions; it’s about the hunger in your stomach, the darkness in your home, and the despair in your heart.
We Deserve Better
The SLPP didn’t just steal our money—they stole our dreams. They stole the future we were promised. And now, they dare to ask for another term?
Let me tell you what needs to happen, that will never happen. Do you think I’m lying? Or must I tell you why Maada Bio forced his way to sack the previous Auditor General and Her Deputy who revealed this huge corruption??
Still, below is what should happen but they will never do
Recover the Money: Every leone must be accounted for.
Prosecute the Thieves: No one should be above the law.
But again, ask who is the law.
Invest in the People: Use what’s recovered to fix what’s broken—our hospitals, schools, and roads.
Yes, Maada Bio has already told us he cannot help us Sierra Leoneans, but anyway!
We deserve leaders who put Sierra Leone first—not their bank accounts.
And yet, the yearly corruption keeps increasing. No further comment.
“Enough is enough!” (For Maada Bio!?). The SLPP regime must be held accountable.
Definitely, there will be once a change of government happens. Afterward, our Coat of Arms says “Unity, Freedom, and Justice.”
Le1.057 trillion could give each of Sierra Leone’s eight million citizens over NLe150,000(OLe, 150,000,000) annually, which is substantial for struggling families.
