In the pond, out of the pond. The opposition Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP) since they lost the 2007 Presidential and Parliamentary elections have woefully resorted to shedding tears unnecessarily on issues of insignificance.
Walk-outs from Parliamentary sittings are so synonymous with the SLPP that an observer may have missed the number of times they have engaged in this political gimmick to win sympathy from compatriots.

Help a Needy Child International - Sierra Leone, a leading non-governmental organization in Sierra Leone helping deprived children, past Friday donated education and learning materials to enhance the educational standard of children at Tambaka chiefdom, northern Sierra Leone.

Residents of constituency 107 in the Western Urban Area are unanimous in expressing kind sentiments about Alfred Koroma commonly known as ‘Fred-Wan’ and have expressed their eagerness to have him join the development band wagon of President Koroma and the APC as their next Member of Parliament after the 2012 parliamentary elections.

We Yone for countless times have been sensitizing the wider populace on the Agenda for Change programmes of APC government since its formation in 2007.
A study of the socio-economic spheres of the state of Sierra Leone indicate massive lack of the basics for national transformation.
This is a clear justification, that to re-rail the affairs of the country for eventual progress in the next half century of independence, sacrifices must go hand in hand with ongoing infrastructural, energy and even agricultural activities.
