Many attempts to muscle the press and deprived most people from exercising their freedom of expression has been seen and heard of in most places of recent times.

Though the President of the Republic of Sierra Leone His Excellency Julius Maada Bio has made commitments to ensure that there is an absolute free press, this promise is seemingly seen as a white elephant that has contribute to the day efforts of anti-press individuals that are working on rendering this phenomenon null and void in the country.

According to Ibrahim Jalloh (Jallomy) he admitted in an interview with this writer that he indeed shared the said piece with the intent to attract the attention of waste management committees and authorities concern that are in charge of managing wastes in the Makeni Municipality but to his dismay, the good intent of his to ensure that he calls authorities to book for sanity sake in the municipality aggravated a few group of authorities that are lying back in luxry without performing their duties as mandated and expected by the job descriptions and terms of references.

He stressed that to him this is also another attempt by unpatriotic Bombalians whose aim is to muscle the truth in the district. But he however, avowed of his continued endeavors to ensure that the trust is said thorough his daily articles, regular social commentaries and his weekly analysis on various media platforms to ensure that authorities embrace their work rather than luxuries.

Several attempts mounted by this writer to reach the lead administrator of the said forum to know why they removed Mr. Jalloh from there have proved futile.
