Immunization is considered as one of the most impactful and cost-effective available public health interventions. Yet, according to healthcare campaigners, in spite of funding challenges, substantial quantities of vaccines for preventable childhood diseases remain unused – from Malaria to measles to polio to Covid-19. And at the top of the numerous reasons for this is difficulty in reaching hard-to-reach communities, in addition to poor communication in the face of a campaign of mis and disinformation.

When I shared my passion for serving my community with a lawyer friend, his response reflected the uphill battle I faced. “Given your religion and region, Makeni, northern Sierra Leone, this is a tough barrier,” he said. Even women bring each other down.” His words underscored the external obstacles and internal divisions women must overcome to lead.

My hometown, Makeni, offers glimpses of progress, with women serving as mayors, parliamentarians, and cabinet members. Yet, accurate gender equity remains elusive.

So you have people who claim to stand for something but they are apparently afraid to identify publicly?
We (ManoReporters) received an email coming from an organization campaigning against a pro-abortion bill allegedly before parliament.
There is no indication of who this press release came from. There is no mention of the name of any member of the organization, not even the “person” directly quoted in the statement.
There is also no contact to enable journalists seek clarification. The website link mentioned also has none of these details.
If you can’t take responsibility for what you stand for, how can you expect us as journalists to stand for what you claim to stand for?
ManoReporters is an independent outlet, which is open to provide its platforms to views from all sides of any discussion of public importance. But we will do this only through the right way, ensuring accuracy and balance. And that is only possible if we know who we are dealing with.
The idea of using the media when you need it and disrespecting its practitioners later because they allowed you to make use of them in an unprofessional manner cannot work with all journalists, certainly not us.

Liberia
Former Liberian warlord, Prince Y. Johnson, known for the brutal killing of former President Samuel Doe, has died.
Johnson, who until his death on Thursday, November 28 was a Senator, was 72.
He founded and ran the Independent National Patriotic Front of Liberia (INPFL) rebel group during the First Liberian Civil War, which lasted from 1989 to 1997.
He was also the leader of the Movement for Democracy and Reconstruction party, under whose ticket he ran for elected offices in the last three decades since Liberia returned to democracy.
He ran for the presidency twice and served as Senator for Nimba County from 2006 to date.
While his supporters moan him, Johnson's critics regret that he has evaded justice for crimes attributed to his rebel group, including the killing of Doe.
