After a brief shower, practically the entire environment in Freetown appears to be filthy

After a brief shower, practically the entire environment in Freetown appears to be filthy.

Last night, between 12 and 1 a.m., a light rain fell for about 2 hours. You'll see a lot of garbage on the streets of Freetown right now, as well as plastic bottles and liters blocking the waterways.

Nobody can deny that the President's recent Saturday cleaning exercise, despite being costly and burdensome to the state, was critical to the safety and hygiene of our settings.

When it began to rain during the necessary cleaning process, only minor dirt was discovered in the streets of the capital city.

Why were the required cleaning exercises halted? Because of the limited resources at the time, the government indicated during the early stages of the corona pandemic that monies used to fund cleaning exercises needed to be diverted to the fight against COVID-19. Apart from diverting the money to the COVID-19 struggle, the majority of personnel in charge of overseeing the cleanup were ineffective, ineffective, and corrupt, which sparked calls for the entire system to be reformed at some point.

To be honest, when that cleaning operation was announced, many opponents slammed it and called it a fraud. However, today, everyone recognizes the significance and is urging the government to reinstate it. That is how Sierra Leoneans will begin to understand the necessity of Free Quality Education in the next 15 to 20 years.
Returning to the main topic. We understand that it is the government's responsibility to ensure that citizens' safety and the environment are protected. However, we, the common people, must contribute by shouldering some obligations. We must ensure that we take proper care of our dirt, such as not throwing garbage into gutters when it rains, and those who have the upper hand and are building buildings along roads and streets should take care of their frontage, such as paving the area near the gutter so that the soil does not erode and block the gutters when it rains. Etc

Finally, the government should seek out whatever means necessary to ensure that our habitats are clean in order to minimize possible flooding during the rainy season and other disasters caused by filthy settings.

As Plan to Blackmail the SLP Backfires, ACP Mira put to Shame

As Plan to Blackmail the SLP Backfires, ACP Mira put to Shame With abounds evidences in possession of this writer, it is crystal clear that Madam Mira Dubuya allegations of injustice and mistreatment are nothing but a well calculated and orchestrated ploy aim at dragging the SLP reputation into mud. Mira enrolled into the SLP force in 2006 and within a shortest time rose to a rank that others who have spent 20yrs plus are still grappling to reach. (But this should be a story for another day) There are series of missions for Police officers including Formed Police Unit (FPU), Individual Police Officers (IPO) and the P&D.  There is a policy in the SLP, that officers sent on peace mission abroad must pay certain amount back home to the force peacekeeping directorate as maintenance for training and other expenditures.  ACP Mira in 2021 through the SLP, went to the UN Police mission in the United States, under the P4 category where her annual salary was over ninty t...

Those Unimpressive Words From the Outgone US Ambassador, David Reimer

Those Unimpressive Words From the Outgone US Ambassador, David Reimer. By Kembay Sierra Leoneans and other non citizens residents in Sierra Leone were shocked over a statements made by the ousted United States of America Ambassador, David Reimer in a local Radio broadcast on Thursday 17th August, 2023. The ousted US Ambassador statements which all listeners viewed as adding insult to injury came at a time the country is still grappling with it political and economic stalemate just after the June 24 2023 general elections.  Ambassador Reimer statements in that broadcast exposed him of putting personal sentiments above diplomatic protocols in adherence to sovereignty.  Where in the world has Reimer seeing the opposition accepting defeat or has he forgotten that as we speak, Donald Trump is yet to accept the victory of Joe Biden in the 2020 US elections over allegations of irregularities? Ambassador Reimer if truly is a honest man should not have accepted his appointm...
