He made some falsely disparaging statements during the meeting about a certain tribe and area. Some of his senior party members have denounced his remarks. They described his statement as regrettable and immature. Two prominent APC party members, Joseph Fitzgerald Kamara and Dr. Sylvia Blyden, publicly denounced Dr. Samura Kamara's tribal remarks.

13 YEARS OLD BOY WAS SENTENCED TO 18 YEARS IN PRISON UNDER THE APC GOVERNMENT ©SL NEWS BLOG Salutations, Sierra Leoneans.

Let's fast-forward to the recently-retired AP...
