GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE SERIOUS ABOUT THE LIVELIHOODS OF THE PEOPLE.

A government that cares for it citizens should talk uprightly base on the prevailing situation.

Three days ago, a press release from the petroleum regulatory authority stated the that there is no fuel shortage in the country after they learnt that fuel hoading is all over country leaving citizen in suffering.

Since the released no action is taken to ensure that those filling station that have decided to unjustly closed are checked and ordered to sell to the public; which the authority has the power to do.

In kenema almost all filling stations are closed with people hopelessly quequing for petrol.

The seriousness of this government towards it citizens is on test.

Fuel is an essential commodity that has multiplier effect on all economic activities in Sierra Leone. and should be placed under serious observation by authorities that are charged with that responsibility and are paid from the tax payers money.

DISGRACEFUL!

FINANCE MINISTRY BLUNDERS AGAIN.

By : Joseph Aruna in kenema

Principals of junior secondary schools that received girl child school fees refund for 2016-2017 are going through sleepless night thinking as how they should run the first term of 2019/2020 school period.

It could be recalled that recently, the ministry of finance published a list of disbursement of fees subsidies to government and government assisted schools across Sierra Leone for the first term of 2019/2020 school year.

After checking their various accounts, the principals realized that what they were expecting for first term is not the amount sent but later received a memo from the district directorate of education that the ministry of finance has deducted the money they received as girl child school fees refund for the year stated above of which there were put under serious pressure to refund those monies to parent; which they did.

"We are embarrassed with such action by the finance ministry, they sent us the money to give bact the parent and now they have cutdown our sum. Which parent will be ready to give back the money after four months gone?" The principals lamented.

This is the third time the ministry of finance has made suchblunder within two years; the first time was double payment to teachers, and nurses and now girl child school fees refund.
Many have described such act as a complete sabotage to the slpp government and if such embarrassement is not impede, it it will proof right people's perception that the finance ministry is incompetent to handle the consolidated fund of Sierra Leone.

AMIDST CHALLENGES, FIRST TRICON CONNECTS MAIN IN TOWNSHIP ROAD IN KENEMA.
By Joseph Aruna
It all started in the year 2017 when the government of Sierra Leone contracted a 6.15 kilometer road rehabilitation contract to First tricon multi-construction company operating mostly in south and Eastern part of Sierra Leone with head quartered in Bo.
This contract was awarded as a result of government response to the 'outcry' of both residence in kenema and other interest groups that saw the need for better roads as compared to other parts of the country where massive road construction were taken place during the Ernest Koroma led administration.
On the 23rd may 2017, the company put it first asphalt (tar)in keomise that 30% payment was at a completion stage but that also failed.
In October 2019, after the general election that ushered in a new government headed by H.E retired brigadier Julius maada Bio,the government through the road maintenance fund administration called first tricon and other road construction companies that are locally funded by government of Sierra Leone to a re-negotiation table which an agreement of payment in three instalment was agreed upon by both the government and contractors.
In kenema another 1.5kilometer was added to the initial 6.15 kilometers which was scheduled to be completed on the 31st may 2019. Although the company faced series of challenges ranging from SALWACO waterlines, electricity pole along the right of ways, and Sierratel/ fiber cable the company (first tricon) yesterday completed the asphalt work along Hangha road and it will be ready for public use on Friday 31st may 2019.
For connecting the main hangha road with kailahun highway, residents in kenema during a phone in program on 'my area' program hosted on kamboi agriculture radio FM 92.3 Thursday 30 may 2019 commended the government and first tricon construction company and called for more in-town road project in kenema.
