  Dear Mr Ben Kaifala, RE: Payments Made By Interested Persons in respect of 2019 Audit Report. Good afternoon and hope you are well. Please see attached MoneyGram transfer which I am sending to you, as an Interested Person, towards the recovery of inappropriate payments made to Paul Massaquoi, which was flagged in the 2019 Audit Report by Audit Service Sierra Leone. The Report observed that Mr. Paul Massaquoi was neither a staff nor a consultant in the Offices of the President or the First Lady. As a result, the expenditure was deemed to be ineligible. I understand from the Press Release of the ACC issued on 25th August 2022, that the ACC as part of its non-conviction based asset recovery process, accepts payments made by  unconnected third parties, towards the malfeasance which are documented in ASSL's annual audits. Therefore, as I have an interest in supporting President Bio's efforts to close the leakages and maximise revenues, I feel it is important that I should make su...

  What Pa Kabbah Taught Me By Dr. Julius Spencer I first met Late President Kabbah close up sometime early in November 1993. I had obviously seen him and heard about him earlier when he retired from the UN and returned home in 1992 and was made chairman of the National Advisory Council to the NPRC regime. I was at the time editing the New Breed newspaper and prior to meeting him close up in 1993, we had published a few not so complementary articles about him. My close up meeting with him was at a reception by the German Ambassador at the time, H.E Karl Prinz, a few days after I had been granted bail after being remanded in custody for about 2 weeks, following sedition and criminal libel charges myself and five other employees of the New Breed newspaper were facing. That was my first public outing after being released and Karl Prinz apparently had invited me to the reception because he wanted me to meet with some people he considered influential in the NPRC. After being at the recep...

  KKY seemingly entangled By M. Keita From my close observation  on recent development in politics as election approaches, it seems the two giant political parties who have maintained dominance in the political landscape of the country since independence are scrambling for KKY, one of the finest political figures who has maintained neutrality and has always preached cohesion as a vehicle of change/positive transformation. For now, he and his party could arguably be the only centrist that have survived the negative influence of the two traditional political parties.  The SLPP and APC who have largely built their nest around voters, mainly on the ground of Region and tribe; drumming ethnocentrism, acrimony, tirade and other forms of politics that is disastrous to our country have always seen KKY as someone who would not easily succeed in his political ambition with a third force. Even their  supporters (primitive loyalists), including people in the highest academic emi...
