Big Fish incident, a lesson for Sierra Leoneans By: Kembay Those always clamouring for War after seen yesterday random shooting on Charlotte and Lightfoot Boston Streets in Freetown by a desperado should now know such is just a tip of an ice bag in a warfare. Big Fish after forcefully snatching, the riffle from the female police officer didn't go on looking out for APC or SLPP but was determine to shoot at anyone who dare stand his way irrespective of your political loyalty, Religious trait, tribal or Regional connection. The few minutes he spent with the gun while moving up an down, saw almost all the streets in CBD deserted with everyone indoor except the security forces who were positioning themselves at intersections point to end the menace. What caused the desertion and the indoor staying was that everyone knew that either by mistake or intention coming in contact with Big Fish at that moment, would have been your end. That is
Read about what Hon. Kemoh Sesay did to journalists in 2007 when he was a Minister, according to the Global Times.
Most of the topics we address, particularly those related to politics, require a broad perspective. Hon. Kemoh Sesay is well aware that saying things about people that are inaccurate and may harm their reputation is a crime known as libel or defamation. And while he was a Minister in Ernest Koroma's cabinet, Kemoh Sesay penalized several journalists for reporting things he considered were false.
Sorie Fofona of Global Times said the following.
"When d APC came to power in 2007, Kemoh Sesay was d first Cabinet Minister to drag journalists to court for false publication. The Independent Observer alleged that he had built a house in less than one year in office. The paper’s managing editor, Jonathan Leigh and his deputy, Bai Bai Sesay were charged to court. Kemoh Sesay appeared in court to prosecute them. I was one of d people asked by SLAJ to negotiate d release of our colleagues. I went and met Kemoh in his house to beg him to drop d matter. All he wanted was a retraction and an apology. He got both. The matter ended. Let my good friend Kemoh Sesay swallow humble pie and apologize and retract his vacuous rants against the President of the Republic. The President is a good man. He has a forgiving spirit. He is not a vindictive leader. Kemoh appears frail and unwell. Let d President forgive him on humanitarian grounds. After all, the President has seen worse things in d hands of his haters and detractors. But he has always emerged whiter than white. Let Kemoh Sesay do the right and decent thing by apologizing and retracting his reckless and irresponsible statements. That’s what a decent man should do. And Kemoh Sesay is expected to do just that. Some of us will continue to appeal to President Bio to forgive Kemoh Sesay in d" name of God.
