President Dr Ernest Bai Koroma yesterday received honours and praises from the legislatures of four states in the United States of America in a presentation ceremony pioneered by Hon. Alhaji Alpha Kanu, Minister of Information and Communication who jointly with Dr Samura Kamara, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation led the delegation to the US in September.
President Koroma said that Sierra Leone is enjoying a considerable amount of importance in the international community today. If America is fighting for freedom today, it was our people who initiated this fight for freedom and human rights, he said. "Our people spearheaded this fight, and as Sierra Leoneans we should be proud of this and trumpet it all over the place."
