Tired of the embarrassment that the Bio-led government puts the country into both nationally and internationally, the Presidential candidate of the main opposition party in the June 24 2023 elections, Dr. Samura Kamara, has proffered advice over the ongoing controversy in respect of the country’s Pepel Rail and Port facility, including its legal and economic ramifications on the country. See the tweet below:
“I listened with keen interest, as an experienced Sierra Leonean in national economic management and nation building, to recent broadcasts by very senior government officials relative to a tripartite investment relationship between government, ARISE and KINGHO. I would want to caution that whatever difficulties there are bordering on this relationship, we desist from going public until the relationship is orderly mended.
It is not impossible.
Let us urge ourselves to handle the matter thoughtfully to prevent potential state embarrassment. Investor appetite for Sierra Leone is still lukewarm. It is strongly advisable to bring both companies to the table for resolution and avert any subsequent legal entanglements.”
