By: Alusine Rehme Wilson - (AR-Wilson)✍️ My attention has been drawn to some group of  individuals parading social media with post bearing the name of our elite Association, on the pretext of flexing their fingers into an affair they are not entitled to. Let me remind such individuals that SLAJ is a  professional body Endowed with like-minded and Multifaceted Personalities with the sole aim of elevating it's membership capacities and matching it's association to modern ones for the good of It's Members, and the voiceless fellow countrymen.

By : Ibrahim Jallloh - ( Jalllomy )✍️ Death swopped in the royal dynasty of the Sesay ruling clan and brought to an abrupt end the rule and reign of the late PC and Hon. Member of Parliament the late Hon. Kandeh Wusu Sesay. It was dramatic, shocking and gripped his family members, friends and subjects in utter disbelief and awe. The late Paramount Chief has been sick but on intermittent bases for a while until lately when he was flown to India on account of our collapsed medical regime in Sierra Leone. The late Paramount Chief was a combination of a cluster of things that typified or characterized the good life, the cheerfulness of humanity and the humourous nature of man mostly lacking in traditional African leaders. He was down to earth, unassuming, over consultative, compassionate, philanthropic, and a master of the art of lowliness and humility. Not suprisinly, he inherited these traits and identity symbols from his late father, PC Kandeh Wusu Sesay 1. His father w...

👉Health Newspaper, Investigation team Reveals: What a Disrespectful MD At Keystone Bank? The Sierra Leone print media have often been bashed by officials in both the public and private sectors for not crosschecking stories that affect their institutions before going to press. This is the general perception of most of these public and private sector officials, especially those who, for whatever reason(s), loathe the media through and through. Despite conscious efforts by journalists to crosscheck their information on professional grounds before going to press, their efforts are being frustrated by some arrogant, loud and aggressive executive officials who become jittery over the press because they have skeletons in their cupboards which they always hide from the general public. In this edition, we carried a story on Keystone Bank with regards its treatment of eight members of staff it accused of conniving to defraud the Bank. The Bank Management consequently reported the matte...

By : Ibrahim Jalloh - (Jallomy)✍️ Unfinished and sub standard projects were frowned at and are being frowned at. The former president Koroma was emphatically serious about correcting that anomaly but forces around him supplanted that. The manner in which development projects are being implemented is outrageous and deceiving. Most projects implemented are either unfinished or sub standard. One such example is the Conteh Street Culvert. This Culvert is a good example of excellent waste. The Conteh Street Culvert ruptures few months after it was commissioned. Why: Sub standard work. Why Sub standard work: monitoring was either lacking or compromised. Why: the construction company, Polly Construction, takes ownership identity from a known stakeholder and then power broker. Just few weeks ago, Makeni City Council tendered for the reconstruction of the ruptured culvert. This is outrightly wrong. Those responsible must answer few questions. This is an era of accountability....

The Prestigious Wusum Mini Stadium that is situated in the heartbeat of the northeast region and district headquarters: Makeni City, in the Bombali District for over two and half decades now, has been of immense use to the people of the North and the entire country by extension.

It is also clear that on successive occasions the stadium raises...

By : Ibrahim Jalloh - (Jallomy)✍🏾 "The Catholic Archbishop of Freetown says it is unacceptable to engage in post-communion fundraising activities "that go on for an unduly long time than it prescribed by the liturgical norms." In a letter to priests in charge of Catholic communities and chaplains, Archbishop Edward Tamba Charles has urged them to stop fundraising activities like "pin a friend, person of the year competitions accompanied by  collection", describing them as an abuse for Mass." The outspoken Archbishop said "we have imported those practices from elsewhere and introduce them into the celebration of the mass , especially at annual thanksgiving celebrations, without proper reflection on their effect on the Eucharist or authorization by the diocesan authorities."  He said the church was not against fundraising activities, the proceeds of which are used to support development projects which is why the " Catholic Church In Sier...
