The ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party ( SLPP) says it does not believe claims by the opposition People’s Movement For Democratic Change ( PMDC) that Former Internal Affairs Minister , Chief Hinga Norman and other indictees of the Special Court have joined them.

Talking to COCORIOKO exclusively this weekend were the Chairman of the SLPP North American Branch, Mr. Matthew Margao and his Deputy , Mr. Sallu Saidu and both men ridiculed the document that the PMDC released as coming from the indictees. Mr. Margao made it clear that as far as the SLPP was concerned , Hinga Norman is still a registered member of the party and the party has not been officially informed by Norman about the stories being peddled by the PMDC.
