How the APC outfoxed and outsmarted the SLPP at the Moral Guarantors meeting

HOW THE APC OUTFOXED AND OUTSMARTED THE SLPP.

By Kabs Kanu

The young people in the APC , like Abdul Kargbo , Kelfala Marah, Yvonne Aki- Sawyer , Richard Konteh etc. are very smart. Politics is not only about brawn. It is also about brains.

The APC recognized that elections are stolen not only on polling day or during counting but well before the elections . APC moved and pushed for structures that will shut down all these routes and doors. The Green Shirts did not notice. SLPP faint late.

I read the communique from the International moral guarantors and immediately noticed it and said that the APC had won. SLPP went berserk. Den deny en cuss we fors. Den cuss me whole day. Then the truth dawned on them . And they quickly released a public statement to protest.

You see. Even to make money. It is not just hard work. You can work until you drop dead, but if you are not smart, you will not be rich.

If all those Parliamentary oversight committees are set up to monitor the entire elections from the Census, registration , printing of ballot papers, securing of ballots, voting and securing of all RRF forms , transportation of ballots etc. etc, and they do their work efficiently, the Elections Thief, Maada Bio, will not be able to succeed this time.

We pray that APC do not act stupid and put people like MOHAMED BANGURA and other corrupt party members , prone to being bribed and corrupted , in any of these committees. If they do not act wisely and give Mohamed Bangura and his band of Sugar Ants any access to these committees, the whole purposes of these committee will be defeated.

Now, the ball is in the APC courts. They have the full weight of the support of the international stakeholders and the nation. We are tired of the SLPP rigging elections in Sierra Leone.

If they want to keep their Edmond Alpha there, let them do so. Once we also restructure and detribalize the ECSL ( making sure that where there is one Temne man, there should also be one Fula, one Madingo, one Limba, one Mende, one Creole, one Lokko etc. etc. ) , it will be difficult to rig the elections. On no account should one tribe control the ECSL. The APC must insist on this in the restructuring.

Democracy is returning to Sierra Leone.
