The Governments of United Arab Emirates and Sierra Leone have signed a Memorandum of Understanding Thursday 11 March 2021 that will allow greater collaboration between the two countries in the field of education, as part of on-going efforts to strengthen relationship between Sierra Leone and the oil-rich Arab state.

“This memorandum is aimed at establishing cooperation between public and Higher Education institutions in the two countries by holding direct agreements between them, holding conferences, seminars, courses, scientific and educational exhibitions, lecturing on topics of mutual interest,” the document mentioned.

His Excellency Hussain bin Ibrahhim Al Hammadi, Minister of Education in the UAE, who signed on behalf of his government, thanked his counterpart for the opportunity noting that he was looking forward to a joint cooperation.

He thanked all the parties involved, especially Sierra Leone’s Ambassador to the UAE, Rashid Sesay for his efforts and constant engagements with authorities in the UAE in different topics of cooperation.

Sierra Leone’s Minister of Technical and Higher Education, Professor Alpha Tejan Wurie, said that the cooperation was significant for Sierra Leone because it would focus on science, technology and agriculture which were of priority to the Government. He also added that Sierra Leone had a rich tradition in higher education but had faced some challenges over the years, while noting that the West-African nation would benefit tremendously from the cooperation especially through exchange programs.

Pres. Bio Joins Eminent Women to Observe IWD

Video-conference, Freetown, Thursday 11 March 2021 – President Julius Maada Bio has engaged the First Lady, Fatima Maada Bio, and other eminent Sierra Leonean women to discuss the topic: “Women in Leadership”, in commemoration of International Women’s Day.

Mrs Bio said that the women of Sierra Leone were incredibly pleased and grateful for the President’s involvement with their efforts at observing the day in a very special way. She further stated that the level of participation of women in the day-to-day running of the state was a right step toward nation-building, adding that it was also a way of supporting women and girls to benefit from the human capital development drive of the government.

In a brief statement, the President of Legal Access through Women Yearning for Equality Rights and Social Justice (LAWYERS), Lawyer Fatmata Sorie, thanked President Bio, the First Lady and the government of Sierra Leone for the opportunity they continued to give women to serve the nation.

“Your Excellency, we pray that your government continues to work assiduously to see a reduction of violence against women and girls in the country. The issue of sexual penetration continues to be a challenge, but we applaud the government for the efforts in bringing perpetrators to book,” she noted.

In his remarks, President Julius Maada Bio recalled that in December last year he launched the Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Policy, GEWE, for which the Gender Ministry would host a number of workshops to develop an implementation plan at all levels.

“This year, we will continue working on legislating GEWE into an Affirmative Action Bill that will permanently and significantly narrow or eliminate gender disparities in Sierra Leone.

“We see sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) both as a social cohesion and human capital development issue. We now have an amended and tougher Sexual Offences Act, a dedicated Sexual Offences Model Court, and an unprecedented jump in prosecution and conviction rates for SGBV offences. The First Lady’s campaign against SGBV is resonating with various populations,” he said.

The President also said that their work as a government was being recognised by UN Women, Generation Equality, RISE and that Sierra Leone had been invited to serve on the Board of the UN’s Women Peace, Security, and Humanitarian Action.

He said the country was an early adopter of international instruments that served to narrow gender gaps, noting that that was an indication they were on the right path and would continue to do more.

“As I close, I want to encourage more women to volunteer for leadership regardless of political stripe. On our part as a Government, we will continue working to dismantle institutional, structural, and other barriers to women’s empowerment and advancement. I will closely follow the discussions and outcomes of this meeting and see how best they will inform or support our collective and dedicated push as a nation on this question,” he said.

The Parliament of Sierra Leone on Thursday 11^th March 2021 commenced intensive debate on the Bill entitled: “The Cyber Crime  Act, 2020”; aimed at protecting critical national information infrastructure in the country.

The Bill is seeking to provide for the prevention of the abusive use of computer systems; to provide for the timely and effective collection of electronic evidence for investigation and prosecution of cyber-crime; to provide for the protection of Critical National Information Infrastructure; to provide for facilitation of international cooperation in dealing with cyber-crime matters and to provide for other related matters.

He also noted that 75% of Sierra Leoneans are using the digital space.

Thus, the need for improving and protecting citizens’rights.  He said if this Bill is enacted, it will help Sierra Leone to benefit from international cooperation through the Budapest Convention.

Hon. Boston Munda, Chairman Information and Communication Committee in Parliament said cyber-crime is a global issue that is also affecting Sierra Leoneans; whilst speaking on financial and data loss from African countries through cyber- crime. He said many African counties have domesticated cyber-crime laws through adherence to the Budapest Convention.

Hon. Abdul Karim Kamara said the Bill is critical and it needs more education. Considering the composition of the regulatory committee proposed in the Bill, he observed one would tend to believe that the cyber-crime act is targeting opposition politicians. He pleaded for serious national sensitization on the Bill considering its critical nature.

Hon. Joseph Williams Lamin said the Bill is  very significant to the people of Sierra Leone; adding that for far too long Sierra Leoneans have been waiting for this Bill. He appreciated the Ministry for the efforts they have put so far on the Bill.

Leader of C4C, Hon. Saa Emerson Lamina said justice needs to be done to the Bill; believing that it enactment will save lives, address e-market and curb cyber-crime. He called on Sierra Leone to do same as most of the member countries belonging to ACP-EU have enacted laws geared toward combating cyber-crime.

Opposition Leader, Hon. Chernor Bah called for massive sensitization on the Bill for it to stand the test of time.

Acting Leader of Government Business, Hon. Bashiru Silikie applauded the debate and also called for the Office of National Security and Police to be in attendance on the next adjourned date in light of the said Bill.

Therefore, the general public is encouraged to rise to the occasion by following the process to its logical end and present their position papers to the Office of the Clerk of Parliament.

Herbert George-Williams, Abu Bakarr Daramy Freed

By Feima Sesay

Justice Augustine Musa of the High Court in Freetown has acquitted and discharged the former Mayor of Freetown Herbert George-Williams and the former Public Relations Officer of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry under the then All People’s Congress (APC) government of all charges relating to alleged murder and conspiracy.

An eleven man jury unanimously returned a verdict of not guilty on Thursday 11^th March 2021 in respect of both counts for the alleged murder of journalist Ibrahim Samura.

In his direction to the jury, Justice Musa stated that it was the duty of the prosecution to prove its case beyond all reasonable doubt by way of evidence in proving all the elements of the offences charged as well as to link the accused persons “materially” to the offences.

Citing the unsworn statement of the 2^nd prosecution witness Mahmoud Tim Kargbo, the judge noted that there were “material inconsistencies” in the said statement and his testimony in court on oath which he said casts a “dim shadow” on the credibility of the witness.

He noted that the testimony of the 2^nd and 3^rd prosecution witnesses failed to link any of the accused persons to the offence of murder and therefore urged the jury not to disbelieve the sworn evidence of Kargbo in court and to attach much weight to it.      

He stressed that even though a letter of apology written to the deceased by the Western Region Acting Secretary of the APC in respect of the alleged assault may tend to incriminate the accused persons, it should not be used to incriminate them because the said letter was neither written by the accused persons nor did they authorize the author to do so and that it lacked probative value.

In her closing address to the jurors, State Prosecutor Umu Sumaray stated that a total of 10 witnesses were led in evidence during the course of the trial including the tendering of several exhibits and the certified cause of death of the deceased and a letter of apology from the APC party.

She said that according to the medical cause of death of the deceased, he died as a result of blunt force injuries he sustained on the 31^st March 2018 during the presidential run-off election around the Lumley round-about area.

She also drew the attention of the jury to some material inconsistencies in the statements of two factual witnesses and their evidence in court, adding that, there was no new intervening act to prove that death could not have occurred to the deceased as a result of what happened to him on the 31^st March 2018.       

Addressing the jurors, Defence Lawyer Melron Nicol Wilson said that the case of the prosecution was “not convincing, lacked merit and does not meet the threshold for a guilty verdict in respect of both counts.”

He noted that the testimony of the 1^st prosecution witness proffered no supporting evidence to the case of the prosecution indicting that the accused persons murdered the deceased, adding that the letter of apology was neither written by the accused persons nor signed by them and therefore had no bearing to the matter before the court.

He argued that the testimony of the 2^nd prosecution witness indicated that the deceased was attacked by some State House security personnel which he said exonerated the accused persons from committing any offences, adding that there was no evidence to show that the accused persons inflicted the blunt force injury on the deceased which he said corroborated the testimony of the pathologist.

He said there is no evidence before the court connecting the accused persons to the offences charged and therefore urged them to return a verdict of not guilty in respect of both counts.

During the course of the trial the prosecution had alleged that the accused persons on the 31^st of March 2018, in the Western Area of Freetown during the presidential run-off election murdered Ibrahim Samura.

Fisheries Ministry Unveils Service Charter

The Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources on Thursday, 5th March, 2021,  unveiled her ministry’s Service Charter at a short ceremony held at the ministry’s headquarter, Youyi Building, Freetown.

Speaking at the ceremony, Madam Emma Kowa Jalloh, said in their quest for fulfilment of the mandate of the ministry, they thought it necessary to keep the public abreast with its activities through a Service Charter.

She described the Charter as a public document that provides basic information about services provided by the ministry. She also referred to the Charter as an important tool that would promote commitment, healthy relationship between the ministry and other partners as well as instil confidence in the general public with regard to activities undertaken by every player in the sector.

The Charter, she said is about delivering services, promoting transparency and accountability. In a bid to promote the New Direction Agenda, she further said that the ministry has prioritized the participation of other stakeholders in order to achieve its dream through regular engagements and hoped the Charter will be used for its intended purpose.

Deputy Director of Fisheries, Josephus Mammie who chaired the programme, said the Charter contains vital information including license fees, policies, rules, regulations, vision, mission and other ancillary activities.

The programme which was attended by a cross-section of staff of the ministry, including the Deputy Minister of Fisheries, Ibrahim Turay and Director of Fisheries, Kadijatu Jalloh, was also graced by some members of the public and the press.

PST KUKU’S WEEKLY NUGGETS

LET GO! – Part I

I’ve had relationships in my life which I struggled to let go, simply because I held to the notion that anyone who comes into life must stick around forever. Well, as I would later realize I was so wrong. Yes, so very wrong because, some people are in your life for a reason and others for a season.

Some years ago, I was in a relationship with someone that I thought was the ‘perfect’ individual for me – My kind of person meeting all my ‘specs’ in every dimension. So, with all within my power I did everything to hold on to this ‘perfect’ individual by ensuring things work out ‘by fire by force’????.

To a very large extent I had to stop being my real self as I was doing all I can to ‘fit into’ someone’s world. I was ready to trade my own joy and happiness for this person even though I knew this person was not ready to do the same.

Sadly, one day, I discovered that with all these ‘amazing and loving’ efforts I was making, there was someone else that this person was ready to do ‘all that couldn’t be done’ for except for the other person. Well, instead of letting go I tried to hold on. When I eventually embraced the reality that it was never going to work, I was full of hate as I felt hurt, deceived, and betrayed; I didn’t realize the other person’s reason was different and the season was over.

As we look forward to Part II next week do not forget to remind yourself that there is “a time to search, and a time to give up searching; a time to keep, and a time to discard;” Ecc. 3:6 (ISV).

When you refuse to let go you’ll end up having too much held up in your heart; and some things are just not meant to be held up in your heart.

 

Don’t forget to SMILE coz it looks good on you

God bless you.

Why Vilify Sinneh Kamara for the Suspension of Dr. Owizz’s Contract?

By Malcolm King( Media Consultant)

The Ministry of Health and Sanitation (MoHS) on Thursday 11th March, 2021 suspended the contract of the Government Consultant Forensic Pathologist, Dr. Simeon Owizz Koroma for some reasons including insubordination.

The Consultant Specialist Pathologist was the only Pathologist in the country with decades of experience and knowledge in that field until early this year, when it pleased His Excellency President Brig. (Rtd) Dr. Julius Maada Bio with the consent of the Board of Administration University of Sierra Leone Teaching Hospital Complex (USLTHC) and the MoHS to recruit two experienced Nigerian Pathologists including a Professor to help reform the pathological department in the teaching hospitals, the training of attendants and lab assistants for mortuary services since those services have to be decentralized after the specialization of more pathologists, mortuary attendants and lab assistants.

The suspension of Dr. Simeon Owizz Koroma’s contract by the MoHS came as a great surprise to the general public given that he had been the only recognized Pathologist in the country for many decades. However, what beats my imagination most are the vitriolic, incendiary and unprintable remarks against the Administrative Assistant of the Connaught Teaching Hospital Complex Mortuary in Freetown, Sinneh Kamara, which have gone viral. Some people, who have identified themselves as diehard members and supporters of the governing Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP), for instance, have sent audios in the social media using unprintable remarks against him and his parents, especially his mother, and blaming him for the suspension of Dr. Simeon Owizz Koroma’s contract with the Government. Some of the detractors have expressed with confidence that Sinneh Kamara was responsible for the suspension of the Consultant Forensic Pathologist’s contract without the foggiest idea that the man is just a junior civil servant that was answerable to Dr. Owizz Koroma and cannot influence any decision-making in the MoHS.

Some have even alleged that Sinneh Kamara was an APC operative because he was notably called ‘De Pa E Yie’ by his admirers during the Koroma administration and these detractors have even attempted in several quarters to have him sacked or demoted to an ordinary mortuary attendant despite he had served the country assiduously, selflessly and sometimes voluntarily with his volunteers without Government coming to his aid. Even so, they continue to rain all sort of invectives against Sinneh Kamara and his biological mother as though he ordered the Permanent Secretary in the MoHS to do a letter of suspension for Dr. Owizz Koroma. Why are these detractors whipping up sentiments for the suspended Consultant Forensic Pathologist so unfair to this young man? What administrative power has he got to have the Pathologist suspended?

If Parliament could approve of the Office of Chief Medical Examiner for which Dr. Owizz Koroma has been earmarked, don’t you think something very serious would have led to the suspension of his contract with Government? Let those raining abuses on Sinneh Kamara with his mother abandon their coconut heads and think rationally to unravel the paradox of the situation that culminated in the suspension of Dr. Owizz Koroma’s contract.

I have earlier stated in this piece that early this year, it pleased the President with the consent of the Board of Administration of USLTHC and the MoHS to recruit two experienced Nigerian Pathologists to help reform the pathological department in the teaching hospitals and mortuary services in the country generally. So, instead of lashing out at Sinneh Kamara for the suspension of Dr. Owizz Koroma’s contract, the apologists should be pondering over why actually the Government decided to suspend the contract of the Consultant Forensic Pathologist. If the Government could suspend the contract of Dr. Owizz Koroma, who was supposed to be guiding the two Nigerian Pathologists as to how to go about things, don’t you think something more serious could have led to the suspension than casting mere aspersions on poor Sinneh Kamara? If Dr. Owizz Koroma was reprimanded for insubordination, what has Sinneh Kamara got to do with that?

By and large, I believe one of the most underdeveloped areas in the country’s health sector is the mortuary department in Government Hospitals. Dr. Owizz Koroma as the country’s only Pathologist may have done his best over the years, but there are still more challenges to be surmounted over time. Most of the mortuaries in Government Hospitals are dysfunctional because of lack of pathologists, attendants and logistics. People in the remote parts of the country, for instance, have to take dead bodies long distances to cities where mortuary services are available for post-mortem or embalming. It is against this backdrop that the Government is reforming mortuary services through the training of more pathologists and mortuary attendants in our teaching hospitals so that Government will decentralize mortuary services wherein every district will have a functional mortuary.

So, the recruitment of two reputable Nigerian Pathologists by no less a person than His Excellency President Dr. Julius Maada Bio is to help enhance the reformation process that will take the mortuary department from its moribund state to a modern standard with best practice. Therefore, Government will not take it lightly whoever undermines the President’s recruits or fails to provide a friendly working environment for them.
