PRESIDENT BIO VISITS THE FLOORS THAT WAS AFFECTED BY FIRE OVER THE WEEKEND AT STATE HOUSE.🔥

By James Kanyako

The visit of  President Bio to the State House Fire scene  showed a concern over the amount of documents and materials that were  burnt down over the weekend at State House. But the question the public is asking now is how long, are we going to continue celebrating  the damages cause to  our historical buildings, even though no one seem to care ?

However, citizens are demanding for a quick answer on the following questions,  Mr President Julius Maada Bio

The people want  to know,  Mr president, when last  you reviewed  your fire risk assessment at state house? and what was the outstanding actions from your last audit sir?

The people are demanding to know the amount of location you have for fire extinguishers, escape routes and assembly point(s) at state house if such incident happens again in the future?

The people are demanding to know if state house has ever held a fire drill and fire alarm tests so that staff are well aware of their escape routes and their responsibilities?

Never again shall this happen in the future.

In a month, we have had over thirty structures burnt down to pieces across the country and nothing or much has been done. The worst was to see the opposition leader Abdul Kargbo’s house on fire🔥.

If we want Sierra Leone to develop, we must start taking blames for our actions. What message do you have for mama Sierra Leone at sixty-four?

Interestingly, it will be like, her sixty-four years struggle has started burning down, with none of her children taking responsibility for it. Sad reality.
