I pray and hope that such a well written facts about Sierra Leone cannot just be read and forgotten but to be forwarded (for action) to all major institutions and governments like France, UK, and USA, that has always advocated for democracy in Africa. I strongly believe that no amount of aids will ever help African countries to be self dependent but a sustainable democracy. The irony is that money and other foreign aids given to presidents like Ernest Koroma of Sierra Leone are specifically used to reinforced their political powers while suppressing their political oppositions. Donors should equally and openly give and monitor money and logistics to credible opposition parties of African countries like the SLPP of Sierra Leone to promote democracy by ways of holding the ruling APC party and their leader accountable to its people and also conducive to the rule of law. As the writer clearly stated; • A society without the rule of law is not a civilized one • A political system without an active opposition is not a democracy • A political system in which the opposition challenges the government during elections only to stop functioning immediately afterwards is not a democracy • The absence of a credible opposition, however, leaves the country with a 'democracy' that is neither accountable to its people, nor conducive to the rule of law

MY ANSWER TO ALL OF THIS DEBATE LIES IN ONE THING; TRUE LOVE IS LACKING. IF THERE ARE SIERRA LEONEANS WHO ARE IN THE GOVERNMENT THAT TRULY LOVE TO SEE GOOD AND BETTER THINGS HAPPEN IN SIERRA LEONE, THEY SHOULD STAND UP FIRMLY AND GO AGAINST CORRUPTION, MANIPULATION AND DESTRUCTION OF THE COUNTRY'S WEALTH AND THE PEOPLE. SO, TRUE LOVE IS SERIOUSLY NEEDED IN SIERRA LEONE.

Sierra Leone politicians, for a long time, are largely motivated by dreams of getting rich in style to escape the rigours that define the dignity of labour in the pursuit to sustain a livelihood. In other words, our politics is not about advocacy for the common good, nor is it about national development for all to realise; it is not about the eradication of slums and the resurgence of the poor and the vulnerable...it is about blatant theft and squander which the Sierra Leonean has ignorantly come to refer to as "corruption" a sanitised word to describe common thieves in public institutions. Take a look at the last Audit report on this blessed country's institution. In many cases where funds are allocated and disbursed for development projects in many areas, only 30% of programmes are implemented what happens to the rest 70%? Everyone in the respective chain of command takes a cut and cunningly scorns the government who doesn't care torpence about results or monitoring measures in place to ensure that goods and services are judiciously delivered. In short, our politics is not about national pride where a politician would want to stand tall and argue with a smile: my country has the best social services; the best schools and colleges; the best highways in West Africa; the best hospitals with modern equipment; the best teachers, doctors, lawyers, farmers, impressive skylines, brides and power grids;huge manufacturing industries, with global production capabilities and enterprises! why, the best of everything.
