Sierra Leone’s Minister of Works and Public Assets, Dr. Dennis Sandy, has been accused of rape and sexual harassment by his step-daughters.
Dr. Sandy hasn’t made any public statements or denied the allegations of even an audio recording allegedly with his voice that has gone viral. As with everyone that needs to be heard, I respectfully reached out to him to get his side of the story and he replied without denying the allegations. Here is his response to my SMS.
“hello sir, kikikiki kikiki check d news around en u will get d answer right away. I remember again how u misfired about me regarding d Toll Gate review in May this year. I hope u won’t go down that path again. But let me ask u now a question – y are u most times interested in bad or ugly news about govt officers than d good news they generate from their jobs? Is that what ur own journalism is all about?”
You can see that he avoided my question on the allegations against him and was trying to even intimidate me.
Morally, His Excellency Julius Maada Bio, who prides himself as a defender of women and girls, should not allow Dr. Sandy, who has failed to come out to defend himself from allegations of rape and sexual harassment, to continue to serve in his government and sit with him in Cabinet.
He needs to be relieved of his duties until the outcome of an investigation into the very serious allegations against him.

*Well, well, well! Look who’s in the hot seat now—a Mende SLPP minister facing accusations of sexual and domestic violence from his own family.*
*So I’m just wondering, where are all those self-proclaimed women’s rights champions in Sierra Leone? Are they on holiday or just too scared to poke the bear because Denise Sandy’s a big asshole in this nasty SLPP dogment? Talk about selective outrage! Ooh Salone 🇸🇱😂*
