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.

Sierra Leone receives $50 million from the World Bank.

As World Bank Pumps $50m
President Bio's Government Breathes Life Into Digital Transformation

By: Zacharia Jalloh Strategic Communications Unit, MIC.

After several solid engagements with the World Bank by the Minister of Information and Communications Mr. Mohamed Rahman Swaray to support the Government's Digital Transformation of Sierra Leone, the World Bank has internally approved $50 million to the project. 

The project will support digital skills, enhance e-governance and promote cyber security in the country. The President Dr. Julius Maada Bio has always emphasised on Sierra Leone catching up with the fourth industrial revolution.

The President in his address at the State Opening of the fifth session of the fifth Parliament of the Republic of Sierra Leone highlighted the gains the country has made in enacting the Cyber Security and Crime Act, Digital Transformation project and the Data Protection Bill that will soon be tabled in Parliament for approval.

"The recently enacted Cyber Security and Crime Act addresses
cyber crimes, protects critical national information infrastructure, and 
provides for the timely and effective collection of electronic evidence 
for the purpose of investigation and prosecution of cyber crime. The 
National Cyber Security Coordinating Centre has been established and 
the Ministry will soon start implementing the $50m USD World Bank 
funded Digital Transformation Project. Additional measures and legislation on national digital development, data protection and privacy, and electronic communications will soon be laid in this House," the President said.

The Digital Transformation Project does not come across as a magic, but was well mapped out in the New Direction manifesto and it seeks to leverage the use of Digitalization in governance. Under the section that deals with *ICT* in the manifesto it reads "The New Direction seeks to: 
"Establish an Electronic Governance system to manage government business electronically."

Dr. John Idriss Lahai, the whistle-blower for fake degrees is "Social Medially dead".

Dr. John Idriss Lahai, the whistle-blower for fake degrees is "Social Medially dead". If you recall, in the year 2022, Dr. John Idriss Lahai, a whistle-blower who exposed a phony degree, attracted the attention of every patriotic Sierra Leonean. His activity came to light after it was found that numerous Sierra Leoneans had received honorary PhDs from a Waterloo, Western Rural District postsecondary institution that was not accredited. Even well-known Sierra Leoneans, including the previous Inspector General of Police, were given honorary PhDs by the university known as Dominion University. When it was determined that the aforementioned university lacks the integrity to grant such a credential, the IG subsequently declined the offer. Dominion University PHD award ceremony From this point on, Dr. John Idriss Lahai began to expose Sierra Leoneans who, in his opinion, had earned questionable academic credentials. He then began to draw attention from people from all

A scammer from Sierra Leone has been captured by Guinean police.

  The person in the picture is actually Abdulai Jalloh, despite the fact that he is identified as a lecturer from Njala University under the name of Dr. Kanu. In early January of this year, he posted in a WhatsApp group in Kambia that he had scholarship chances and could help people acquire government pin codes, among other things, but that the offer was only valid for those from the South and east.   Someone sent him NLe1,500 for overseas study without realizing he was a scammer.  The scammer claimed that the entire application process for the scholarship cost 3,000 New Leone.  Later, the contacted person realized that he was not who he had been representing himself to be, and he immediately blocked the victim of his syndicate.  He once more perpetrated the same crime against Molai, another individual, and someone else.  In the pretense of an international scholarship, he demanded 3000 New Leones from each person. He accepted the cash and fled without telling them where he was.  The m
