As if he is cursed not to ever do right, President Maada Bio created a new firestorm in the nation last week when he created a new cabinet ministry position that brought to question his ability to think.sensibly, avoid controversies and his real commitment to save the country’s meager resources .
Even though he has already created a parallel Regional Ministry for the North Western Region, President Bio went on to create a duplicitous Ministry of Western Region that made many people question his intelligence quotient ( IQ) in a city that for time immemorial had been a municipality with the Mayor statutorily thrust with the responsibility to govern Freetown with his councilors.
When State House announced the appointment of sacked Foreign Minister, Mrs. Nabeela Tunis as the new Minister for the Western Region —with a cabinet rank— and disgraced
A social media activist, Penpusher Sesay quipped “ Who’s advising the PA?
Minister of Western Region hmmm very hilarious! The act of creating jobs for the friends and relatives of the PA is becoming unbecoming!!
Our resources need to be judiciously managed if we want to grow as a nation. And What Is She Going To Do?
A true definition of a NEW DIRECTION” .
Other angry Sierra Leoneans said that the SLPP just wants to change every governance structure in Freetown, neutralize the Mayor, and impose a tribal fiefdom and serfdom in our municipal capital.
“ Resident Minister, Northwestern Region-Haja Isatu Kamara; Resident Minister, Western Region—Nabila Tunis. Mayor of Freetown—Yvonne Aki-Sawyer. Common, man; don’t you see the excessive duplicity of functions ? “
Journalist Karin Bah remarked that “ The creation of Regional minister for West, is a deliberate attempt to complicate and stifle decentralization in Freetown and environs. What a backward move. “. to which Professor Jimmy Kandeh responded “ Very backward but coming from a visionless and incompetent leadership I am Not surprised. “ .
Social media commentator Edward Alikalie said : “ Bloated Cabinet & Bloated Payroll are are fighting back.
The New Direction leads to Hell’s Gate. He is failing on all his campaign promises.”
Many Sierra Leoneans believe that President Bio created the duplicity for a sinister purpose. Maada Bio is full of intrigues. It is the Freetown Mayor he wants to neutralize and also fight since she cannot allow him to use her , by appointing a Resident Minister, Western Region. He has a criminal mind but many say he will fall by his own devises. The wicked are brought down by their own devises. Proverbs 11:5.
The other controversy Bio created was to appoint Dennis Vandi, a man with a criminal background as the new Minister of Finance. We will bring you a special report on Vandy’s criminality.
