PRESIDENT BIO SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR ECONOMIC TREASON WHEN HE LEAVES OFFICE FOR UNAUTHORIZED USE OF PUBLIC FUNDS TO FUEL HIS COUNTLESS EGO TRIPS AROUND THE WORLD
By Kabs Kanu
The estimated billions of dollars President Maada Bio has spent on useless foreign trips in eight years could have rebuilt Sierra Leone’s electricity, water supply, health , educational , food and educational superstructures.
While the Sierra Leonean people remain stoic , docile, ignorant and disinterested in national affairs, busying themselves on slaving themselves day and night just to put food pn their tables, President Maada Bio continues to rob their poor nation blind through manifest corruption and traveling excessively abroad to every event, even mundane SLPP party activities around the globe , just to satisfy his ego.
President Bio is violating governance, leadership and economic codes everyday while the people continue to suffer in Sierra Leone . This is the most uncaring President Sierra Leone has had since Independence . Bio beaches the rule of law, the constitution and political and socioeconomic codes of conduct everyday and he does it with impunity, thumbing his nose at the suffering people.
Despite all the president’s high-sounding campaign promises to bring A NEW DIRECTION , the only new direction Sierra Leoneans have seen is reckless and heartless impunity to exploit and feast on the country’s resources for material gains.
With a private jet of unknown origins that costs millions to maintain every year, President Bio and his pompous and cheeky wife, Fatima Bio , travel everyday to different events around the world , with unprecedented passion fueled by greed and ego . The amount of money alone this callous and heartless couple has received in travel allowances runs into millions. State auditors have been unilaterally fired or molested into submission to discourage them from revealing the astronomical allowances President Bio and his wife, clan members and bootlickers earn from his worthless trips around the world
Bio and members of his government are committing economic treason everyday by their profligate use of our country’s resources and hard- earned and precious monies from the Consolidated Fund not only to pay for these useless trips but to bribe international organizations to invite Bio or give him speaking slots or so- called international awards as useless as the papers on which they are printed.
Instead of concentrating on lifting the people from mats to mattresses and putting food on their tables, Bio’s primary concern is to travel everyday abroad for his fickle- minded , naive and asinine spinmasters to come and mock hungry Sierra Leoneans everyday with classless and stupid assertions like : “President Bio has become the first President ever in Sierra Leone “ to chair this or that organization or speak in this or that occasion. Meanwhile, Sierra Leoneans are suffering and struggling to afford one square meal a day .
The people are in rags, unable to live the normal lives of citizens of a civilized world; their children dying on the street everyday from drugs intoxication ; their country in total darkness due to poor electricity supply and risking their lives everyday drinking water from ponds due to the lack of pipe- borne water. How callous can a government ever be ?
The FEED SIERRA LEONE Projects about which the government brags everyday is a scam like the promise to build the Lungi Bridge or turn Bonthe into the industrial hub of West Africa through a first- of-its kind ports facilities. How can you launch a “feed yourself” revolution in the country without providing the basic farming equipments like tractors or infrastructure like farm- to- market roads or financial incentives for farmers ? All the photos Bio has been showing on social media are self- serving portraits of himself sitting on a tractor, or holding a corn of sheaves of rice etc. The people want to see extensive state rice and millet or cassava and yams farms in different parts of the country and citizens feasting in abundance.
Recently, the World Food Program and the World Bank disclosed that 80% of Sierra Leoneans are facing an existential danger of starvation .
If Bio’s multifarious and economically – expensive foreign trips have not enabled him to fix the electricity , water supply, healthcare , education and food systems in Sierra Leone, of what use are these trips ? Any father who is never home but is out everyday on trips but is unable to provide food and basic comforts for his family should be disowned because he is a good- for- nothing father.
Bio is committing economic treason and he and his wife, an accomplice, should be arrested after they leave power.
