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 thousand United States Dollars.

Her contract ended in 2022 and was extended for one year on the magnanimity of the IGP and women empowerment in the force.

ACP Mira never pays a dime to the SLP Peacekeeping directorate throughout her three years in the UN Police Mission.

Coming to the end of her mission in 2023, she wrote asking for extension of contract for the 3rd time. She was then reminded of her outstanding commitment of Eighteen Thousand United States Dollars ($18,000) as contribution to the SLP Peacekeeping Directorate.

In her desperation seeking for contract extension, she paid $16,000 as her contribution in two tranches.

Her contract was not extended because the SLP policy do not give way for more than three years in a mission.

All officers who had requested for an extension after three years were rejected and replaced.

Under the P&D categories missions, officers are paid salaries by the UN and as such, must therefore not receive salaries from their National coffers while serving in those missions.

In that case if ACP Mira was receiving salaries from our Consolidated funds while working as UN Police, then she must refund all that amount (a case for ACC)

EU Budget Support Delay: Government Rejects Link to Judicial Case, Clarifies Reason for 2026 Disbursement Shift

Government Clarifies EU Budget Support Disbursement to Sierra Leone Note: According to the Information and Civic Education Minister. The Government of Sierra Leone has clarified reports linking the European Union’s 2026 budget-support disbursement to ongoing discussions between Sierra Leone and the Kingdom of the Netherlands on judicial cooperation. According to the Government, the European Commission formally communicated its decision regarding the 2026 disbursement in July. The reasons provided, the Government said, related to the timing of Sierra Leone’s request to amend the Financing Agreement and the resulting difficulty of completing the required processes within the 2026 reporting cycle. As a result, the European Commission proposed rescheduling the 2026 and 2027 disbursements to 2027 and 2028 respectively, with the targets for the 2027 disbursement already agreed. The Government acknowledged that the postponement of the 2026 disbursement represents a setback, b...

Musa Tarawalie and the SLPP: What Could Be Behind the Growing Political Tensions?

Why Musa Tarawalie May Be Facing Friction Within the SLPP Opinion Note: This article represents my personal opinion and interpretation of recent political developments. It should not be taken as established fact or as a definitive account of the reasons behind the situation involving Hon. Musa Tarawalie and the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP). The question of why Hon. Musa Tarawalie appears to be facing difficulties within the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) requires an understanding of the broader political calculations ahead of the 2028 general elections. In my view, the SLPP is determined to retain political power in 2028, and there have been indications of deliberate strategies aimed at achieving that objective through democratic and relatively smooth political processes. One of the arguments supporting this view is President Julius Maada Bio’s public assertion that, in Sierra Leone’s democratic political history, no political party has successfully won three...
