It’s no more
a secret that the eleven years reign of former President Ernest Bai Koroma was
engulf by closest friends commonly known as “COMMONERS”. The commoners where
comprises of APC and SLPP members but sad to note that immediately when
president Koroma took oath of office in 2007, all the commoners declared their
support to APC in the name of coming to support their “brother” president
Koroma with out realizing that these so-called group have their different
agenda.
President
Koroma entrusted them so much and make them as his “blue eye’s boys” but little
did he knows that most of the “Commoners” were contractors seeking for
government contracts in his name to an extend establishing a diaspora office in
Freetown in order to create connectivity with the presidency but in return,
this group was extorting monies in dollars from the pockets of the diaspora
people who may wish to see the president both for national and personal.
At one
point, the “COMMONNERS” became so powerful more than some cabinet ministers to
an extend influences decision both at central government and local councils
level through their connectivity with the presidency. This status automatically
makes them drunk and started determine the fate of people negatively without
realizing that some of them where political prostitute who at once betrayed APC
during the time of needs but resurface at the “harvest time”.
With all the
powers vested on the group “COMMONERS” nor of them cannot tell the public
especially APC Youth, how many youth in Makeni or Bombali they have help to
transformed, interestingly they were graduated in destroying the youth sector
with MJ hotel as their meeting point.
This medium
believes that this group owns an apology to the Bombali Youth for their
deplorable state for undermining the dream of President Koroma. President
Koroma is a fine gentleman who was developmentally oriented with a successful
planned for the youth sector, but unfortunately he work with detractors such as
“commoners and Wusum Ministers”.
To attest to
this claim, this medium will publish all the contracts awarded to the commoners
both at Local Councils and Central Government. It’s interesting to note that
most chairmen and other political positions were influenced by the commoner’s
group in return they were compensated with contractors and later sold these
contracts to other contractors.
