WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

Many governments around the world encounter such rejection in their mid term or their last year before another General Elections. What I see from the images below is perturbing! How can we show our leaders such contempt?

The Bio led government is just a few weeks past their first year in office and would have loved to see pomp and fanfare celebrations. The independence anniversary marked for today, has gone like no other.

How can we all allow such to happen?

Some of us do not believe that we are independent and therefore never celebrate such. To see 98% of empty stands during an entrance free event with lots of food and drinks sends an unequivocal message to Mr President and Mrs First Lady. What is the message the people, including the many SLPP supporters, have sent to our First Lady and gentleman? Answers are too many to record here.

I just want the First Lady and gentleman of the republic to take this as a great lesson/experience! Do not think you are governing the few but a whole nation. You have so many people in your government that hate so many of their fellow citizens who can help transform the wealth of the nation. These sycophants and hungry clueless officials are damaging the image of the First Lady and the president.

MY RECOMMENDATIONS

To save face and regain your status as an all-inclusive leader, you have to do the following:

a) Sack all advisers to the First Lady

b) An immediate cabinet reshuffle, getting rid of the divisive elements in your cabinet

c) Organise a boot camp for the sacked advisers and ministers in order to educate them about governing a nation

d) Call an all-inclusive SLPP unity meeting at home and in the diaspora branches. The diaspora divisions is filtering home and is a factor In today’s rejection

e) Go on national radio or television and explain to the people why it was not conducive to have celebrated our independent anniversary in this particular year

Mr President, this is a big blow to you and anyone in such a situation. It is not the end of the world and such could be regained if you start governing and caring for a country and not the few.

Another grave matter I had observed leading to this celebrations was the slow pace the Commission of Inquiry is going. People are begging to lack faith in the process as they believe their are sacred cows. Please endeavour to surround yourself with the people that can help our country forward. Most of your friends that helped you come to power cannot run organisations properly. Many are personalising the institutions they are leading and would rather have the nation suffer than admit their failings. In the coming months, we are going to start naming them and the adverse effects their leaderships are having on their departments. Help them by giving them the adequate professional training. It would be also wise for them to know that the nation is not their personal property and to work effectively is a bonus to the lasting legacy they will leave when they depart.

Sierra Leone needs true leadership and it seems this lacking is exposing itself.

Every leader potential is determined by the people closest to him, his inner circle; of they are weak, the leader creates no impact but if they are strong, the effect is great. I pray you consider shedding some of the baggage you have taken on because of their loyalty. You have a better way to help them and not at our expense.

I pray you reflect on the above and do what wisdom dictates. God bless you and the people of Sierra Leone.

  • Dutch Apt I like what I’m reading from your post; though you’re not a fan of APC but your patriotism shows in your posts recently. You could make a good partner in achieving aspirations of Sierra Leone. Your critiques are object and they resonates with the vast majority. Keep it up.

      • Mem Kay Sierra Leonean people are fatigued. You cannot permanently treat people as idiots and expect them to continue rejoicing with you when they know you are not serious about running the country for them!
        I hope this message gets to them sooner rather than later.
        What right does Fatima Bio has to sack nurses??? Is she their employer??? Too much nonsense is happening, only in Africa.
