STANDING STRONG WITH PRESIDENT BIO FOR PEACE AND RULE OF LAW.

Dear Esteemed Members of the Sierra Leone People's Party,

In the wake of recent events surrounding the court decision to grant bail to former President Ernest Bai Koroma (EBK), emotions within our party have run high, reflecting the deep concern for justice and the security of our beloved nation.

Understandably, the decision has evoked mixed feelings, particularly in light of the tragic loss of 18 military officers during the failed coup. However, it is crucial for us, as members of the SLPP, to recognize the wisdom and foresight demonstrated by our President in these trying times.

His Excellency Julius Maada Bio has exhibited a rare balance between maintaining peace and upholding the rule of law. Despite the gravity of the allegations against EBK, our leader prioritizes national stability while ensuring that justice is served through legal channels.

Let us not misconstrue this as a weakness but rather as a testament to the strength of our democratic principles. Our President understands the delicate balance required to keep our nation united and secure, especially in the face of adversity.

As we steer through these challenging times, we must rally behind our President. His commitment to the greater good of Sierra Leone and our party is unwavering, and he envisions a future that transcends the temporary sentiments surrounding this case.

In standing by our leader, we demonstrate to the nation and the world that the SLPP is united, resilient, and committed to the principles that define us. Our strength lies in our ability to face challenges with a unified front, understanding that our President's decisions are guided by a profound dedication to the well-being of both the party and the nation.

Let us be the voice of reason, encouraging fellow party members to trust in the leadership and vision of our President. Together, we can weather this storm and emerge stronger, ensuring that the principles of justice and peace prevail, and on the same note continue to keep the APC in checks and balance and place them into permanent opposition.

In unity and strength,

One Country, One People.
Sierra Leone People's Party

PRESIDENT BIO'S ADMINISTRATION DEMONSTRATE A PARADIGM SHIFT TOWARDS TRANSPARENCY IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION.

In the landscape of governance, the fight against corruption has always been a pivotal battle for leaders aiming to foster transparent and accountable administrations. In this context, the tenure of President Bio stands out as a testament to the commitment in addressing corruption head-on, with recent developments showcasing a noteworthy paradigm shift.

Unlike past administrations where corruption might have lingered in the shadows, President Bio's term has witnessed a distinct willingness to expose and tackle corruption within the system. Rather than waiting for formal investigations or changes in government, instances of corruption are surfacing from within the ranks, with institutional heads reporting irregularities to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). This proactive approach marks a departure from the norm, creating an atmosphere of accountability that is both commendable and rare.

Notably, the recent revelations from key institutions such as the Ministry of Finance and Parliament underline the administration's commitment to weeding out corruption at its roots. The newfound transparency is a stark departure from the past, challenging the status quo and signaling a renewed focus on building a corruption-free governance structure.

President Bio, since assuming office in 2018, has consistently emphasized the need to combat corruption as a top priority. The recent developments serve as tangible evidence of the institutional willingness to align with this vision. By encouraging reporting and investigation of corruption within government bodies, President Bio is fostering an environment that discourages malpractices and upholds the principles of accountability.

The Anti-Corruption Commission, as a key player in this endeavor, finds itself at the forefront of tackling corruption allegations promptly and effectively. The collaboration between institutions and the ACC indicates a unified effort to cleanse the system, reinforcing the idea that corruption has no place in the administration's agenda.

As President Bio's administration continues its unwavering commitment to transparency, the hope is that these efforts will not only expose corruption but also serve as a deterrent for future malpractices. The spotlight on corruption within the government ranks is a positive stride towards building a system where accountability prevails, and public trust is restored.

In applauding the proactive stance against corruption, citizens and observers alike acknowledge that the fight for transparency is an ongoing process. The unleashed commitment to root out corruption within the President Bio administration sets a commendable precedent for governance in the pursuit of a more accountable, honest, and transparent society.

The All Peoples Congress Party (APC) continue to be entangled in a web of controversy, raising concerns about its role as a responsible opposition. The party's association with the failed November 26, 2023 coup, particularly in its support for former president Ernest Bai Koroma facing treason charges, has ignited debates over the party's commitment to democratic principles and the potential impact on legal proceedings.

The very essence of a thriving democracy relies on a robust and responsible opposition that acts as a check and balance against the ruling party. However, the recent actions of the APC have brought to light questions about its adherence to these principles. Political attachment to a coup attempt and supporting an individual facing serious charges could, knowingly or unknowingly, prejudice ongoing court proceedings, raising concerns about the party's stance on the rule of law.

One cannot ignore the importance of a fair and unbiased legal process, especially in matters as serious as treason. The APC's alignment with an individual facing such charges may inadvertently send a message of condoning or undermining the judicial system, potentially eroding public trust in the democratic institutions of the country.

It is imperative for opposition parties, including the APC, to recognize their responsibility in fostering a healthy democratic environment. The role of the opposition extends beyond challenging the government; it involves engaging in constructive debates, proposing alternative policies, and ensuring that the democratic process remains untainted by political biases.

The ongoing trial of former president Ernest Bai Koroma is a litmus test for both the judiciary and the APC. How the party navigates this delicate situation will undoubtedly impact its credibility and standing in the eyes of the public. The APC has an opportunity to demonstrate resilience and commitment to democratic values by refraining from actions that could compromise the integrity of legal proceedings.

In times of political tensions, the need for a responsible opposition becomes even more pronounced. The APC has a chance to rise above political affiliations and prioritize the broader interests of the nation. By doing so, it can rebuild public trust, strengthen democratic institutions, and contribute to a political landscape that values transparency, accountability, and the rule of law.

In a recent development within the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP), the appointment of Dr. David Moinina Sengeh as Chairman of the Constitutional Review Committee highlights a remarkable journey for an individual who can be considered an underdog within the SLPP political circles. The continual trust bestowed upon him by the party's leader, His Excellency Retired Brigadier Dr. Julius Maada Bio, keeps adding a new chapter to Sengeh's rising prominence.

On December 15, 2023, the SLPP National Executive Council (NEC), the second-highest decision-making body of the party, unanimously moved a motion to review the 2020 amended SLPP National Constitution. This decision marked a pivotal moment for the party, signalling a readiness to embrace inclusive reforms that could position the SLPP as a progressive social democratic force.

Sengeh's journey from being considered an underdog to holding a pivotal position reflects the values of meritocracy and trust in leadership.

Sengeh's background, not deeply rooted in traditional political spheres, brings a fresh perspective to the committee. As a figure outside the conventional political hierarchy, his appointment symbolizes a departure from established norms, indicating the SLPP's willingness to consider diverse voices and ideas.

It is noteworthy that the trust placed in Sengeh by President Julius Maada Bio is not just a personal recognition but a broader acknowledgement of the potential within the party's ranks. This move reflects a commitment to nurturing talent and ensuring that leadership positions are filled by individuals who bring innovative solutions and a commitment to the party's principles.

As the Chairman of the SLPP Constitutional Review Committee, Sengeh now faces the responsibility of steering the party towards a future that aligns with the ideals of a progressive social democratic entity. His leadership will be instrumental in shaping the party's policies and structures, making inclusivity and positive transformation key pillars of the SLPP's identity.

The rise of David Moinina Sengeh - PhD from underdog to Chairman of the SLPP Constitutional Review Committee showcases a party's openness to change, meritocracy, and commitment to embracing fresh perspectives. This appointment marks a significant step towards a more inclusive and progressive SLPP, poised to navigate the challenges of the future under the guidance of a trusted underdog leader.
