Freetown — Publicity Secretary of the Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP), Kailahun district, Friday admitted that institutionalised corruption was rampant in the past SLPP government.
Vandi Moijueh who is also a Councillor in the Kailahum District Council told journalists at the Kenema Police Station that the international community was not in support of the defeated SLPP because the latter was siphoning donor funds meant for poverty reduction.
"I am calling on the All Peoples Congress (APC) government and the law enforcement agencies to investigate and bring to book all corrupt officials who contributed to the sufferings of the people of Sierra Leone," Moijueh said.
On his own part, Councillor Moijueh said he is free of any corrupt dealings. "I am a strong SLPP Councillor and I was awarded the contract to rehabilitate the road leading to Kailahun district. I am corrupt-free because I implemented the contract given to me as required," he said.
Moijueh expressed his readiness to face the Anti-Corruption Commission to prove his case and maintained that he will forever be an SLPP stalwart.
"I will never leave the SLPP for any other political party," he said.
