The tendency sometimes to protect perpetrators for the sake of peace...doesn't help society. Impunity should not be allowed to stand. - Kofi Annan on Waki report

THE LAWLESS, THE DISRESPECTFUL AND A DISGRACE TO DEMOCRACY, ACCOUNTABILITY AND GOOD GOVERNANCE
(Details - courtesy -

.....for the Ministers and Deputy Ministers not to have declared their assets despite the extension of the deadline portrays a set-up made up of lawless, self-seeking, greedy and opportunistic vandals so pre-occupied with getting rich at whatever cost that such obligations are never given a second thought.

They have, by this singular action, also shown a gross lack of respect for the man who appointed them into their various posts - the President Ernest Bai Koroma.

If the President could have gone as far as to do his duty and declare his assets to the Anti Corruption Commission - what gives these minions and assistants of his the gall, the temerity not to follow his example?
