Pardon?
|
|
|
The release of Omrie Golley from
detention could be another test
of judicial fairness in our
nation’s legal system. The
Presidential Affairs Minister’s
reason for the release of Mr.
Golley of “no case”, to many,
may seem very shallow and needs
to be explained further.

DIASPORANS , SIERRA
LEONEANS AND THE
RENEGADE -
By Khadija Sesay |
|
In
November 2006,
Transparency
International ranked
our country the 16th
most corrupt in the
world. Under the
watch of the past
Sierra Leone
People's Party (
SLPP )
administration, and
their unprincipled
spin doctor, Sylvia
Blyden, Sierra Leone
was also ranked the
worst country in the
world to live in ,
based on the United
Nations Human
Development Index.
According to a CIA
data, the life
expectancy rate of a
Sierra Leonean is 43
years. In addition,
a UNICEF study found
that since 2002 more
children under the
age of five years
old die in Sierra
Leone than anywhere
else in the world.
