A Review By Sheriff Mahmud Ismail –
#TruthMedia founder and anchor hosted an exceedingly instructive conversation on the vexed questions of Leadership, Politics, and Governance. Truth Media is a new but widely acclaimed online media platform, whose founder, Amadu Lamrana Bah, is one of Sierra Leone’s most fearless and consistent media personalities.
To judiciously explore those three complex concepts, Bah sought after and hosted the erudite #Dr Idrissa Mahmoud Tarawalie – one of our nation’s foremost political scientists. Tarawalie throws light on the issues with rare and uncanny clarity. In doing so, he expounded on the conflict between the SLPP and APC before and following the 2023 disputed polls with such lucidity that defers only to top – class political experts.
He also articulated the post elections negotiations and the implementation of the Tripartite recommendations emanating from that engagement, leaving the viewers in no doubts as to what transpired and where Sierra Leone might be headed. Tarawalie further shares his views on the debate over the Block Proportional Representation (PR) and the Constituency based First -Past -The- Post electoral systems. He recommends that the decision to choose a nation’s political system should not be entrusted to partisan interests. Rather; it should be informed by the dispassionate assessment and recommendations of independent subject-matter experts. Anyone interested in Sierra Leone’s current political and governance state of affairs should take a moment to watch this highly enlightening interview.
