He applauded the effort of the President saying that President Koroma is a leader that cares so much for his people and has been working assiduously to improve the lives of the ordinary man. Alhaji Borbor Bah encouraged his audience to comply with medical advice and refrain from touching and the washing of the dead.

Receiving the bags of rice, the Resident minister East Maya Kaikai noted that the donation is laudable and expressed his gratitude on behalf of the people of Kailahun and assured the donor that the rice will be distributed judiciously.

The Minister said that they are winning the fight against the virus in the Eastern Region pointing out that the cases that are recently reported in Kenema emerged from the Red-Cross centre where they have medical practitioners. He said they are on top of the situation since they have their teams ready to make immediate response whenever there is a situation. He went on to say that their contact tracers, surveillance officers and all stakeholders are poised to face whatever challenge that may arise but Ebola must go.
