A usually reliable source very close to State House has disclosed to COCORIOKO that former President Ernest Koroma and opposition presidential elections flagbearer , Dr. Samura Kamara have been threated by the SLPP Government that they will be extrajudicially executed in 48 hours if they do not come up with the monies they have been asked to pay back into government coffers following the findings of the Commissions of Inquiry.
DR. ERNEST KOROMA
It must be recalled that last week, the Court oof Appeal ordered Dr. Ernest Koroma to pay 15 million US dollars after it dismissed his appeal against the findings of the Commissions of Inquiry –The same court that ordered Dr Samura Kamara to pay $US750,000 in connection with the Sierra Rutile Mining Company case for the same reason .
DR. SAMURA KAMARA
The news is that the cash-strapped SLPP Government needs money desperately to help pay public servants their salaries for December to enable them to enjoy the festive season. Their sources of is having become limited, the government wants to use the monies from Ernest Koroma and Samura Kamara to fulfill its obligations to pay the workers.
In a move to intimidate both men to pay up, it has been reported that the government has threatened the two men that they will be bumped off if they failed to come up with the money.
Any harm done to any of these men will plunge the nation back to war but the government is said to be adamant.
The nation and the international community are called upon to look into this matter with dispatch.
