As the former Director General of the Sierra Leone Correctional Service retires His Excellency the President Retired Brigadier Julius Maada Bio has appointed Mr. Joseph Lamboi as Director General of the Sierra Leone Correctional Service, and Mr. Dennis Harman as his Deputy, subject to Parliamentary approval.
Addressing the DG’s muster parade, on Wednesday 3rd April, 2019, at the SLCS’ Headquarters New England Ville, Mr. Lamboi said he was thankful to the President for appointing him to the most exalted seat in the Department.
He expressed delight over his being alive to witness a moment of that uplifting nature.

“Do you remember sometime ago, in a gathering like this, the erstwhile DG was admonishing that the infights over who should replace him should stop. When I got the opportunity to speak, I told you not to be tensed over who would be the next DG, because I believe that power comes from God.”

He said he had reached that peak not because he was “lobbying” or “bootlicking”, but because he was a disciplined and forward thinking person.

Mr. Lamboi assured the parade that his appointment to the DG’s office will not reduce him into witch- hunting any of his subordinates.

He recalled that the former DG left a lot of pointers, which he would like to strengthen and flesh out “through team work”.

Stepping forward to speak, the newly appointed Deputy Director General- Mr. Harman said, in just over a month in office as then Acting DG, Mr. Lamboi had brought a lot of enviable changes to the institution.

“We now have a Conference Hall put up at the Male Reintegration centre, where the Special Court was stationed. That hall has helped us a lot in terms of meetings and workshops.”

“Apart from the Conference Hall, Mr. Lamboi and I have made a commitment to ensure that inmates get all what is due them, cautioning that any officer who is caught pilfering any item belonging to inmates, would face disciplinary action,” he revealed.

He encouraged all to be alert and attentive so that they can all work to fan the flames of development in the institution.

The first Solade Adams Memorial Public Lectures was held on Wednesday 3rd April 2019 a the Milton Margai College of Education and Technology Polytechnic Great Hall, Goderich campus at which event the guest speaker, Dr. Victor Kabia articulated that the lecture is a brain-teasing analysis, that he is aware that his audience is made up of various learners including tutors and students and affirmed that the lecture would also create awareness about the successes and challenges in education.
Mr. Solade Adams was the first black and third Principal of the college from 1966-1980.
Dilating on the theme, ‘Means to an End: An Analytic Approach In Educational Practices,’ Dr. Kabia recalled that he was a student during the Principalship of the late Solade Adams in the 1970s, observed that the level of education in the country has changed dramatically but cautioned that we must cope with the environment we find ourselves, highlighted the benefits of the lectures and the factors that influence the means to an end, described psychology as any action to achieve the purpose to an end asserting that all factors in life are a means to an end and that education is to make students better citizens in society.
Dr. Kabia went on to enlighten that tutors/curriculum developers are faced with the problem of what to teach, that tutors must be committed to learners, recalled the recent massive failures in the country, the reason government established a commission of inquiry, underscored that teacher training is very important and continued that there are five points that affect education: what the learner brings to the learning environment, the learning environment itself, what is taught, the teaching and learning process and outcomes all of which are a means to an end.
“Teaching and learning is a team work. I have been involved in several efforts to reform the educational system in the country. To make good teachers, the authorities also have the opportunity to support teachers to give of their best. Also, over the past six years, girls have performed well than boys in the West Africa Examination Council and even in science subjects,” he asserted.
Dr. Kabia said a curriculum is the major aspect of learning and that learners must be involved in its development emphasizing that a syllabus is a smaller unit of a curriculum and underscored that a curriculum must be in line with the objectives of learning and observed that the means to learning is graduation.
He said other factors that affect education are the homes from which students come, the political will of the state, talents from God, that in some cases some learners refuse to accept teachers by refusing to learn for which he suggested the following:-that learners must acquire information, proffer logical reasons, present materials, that knowledge comes in units, that it is the duty of learners to be responsible and that both the learner and tutor must develop positive attitude.
Dr. Kabia furthered that the lethargy by students to read as well as organize and store materials are responsible for the massive failures in public examinations and warned that to study is not to memorize as the brain is like a store and went on, “anything could be taught no matter the state of the learner. The issue is the presentation that should be at the level of the learner.”
Among others, Dr. Kabia said a curriculum is divided into three:-knowledge, attitude and skills and lamented that examination malpractices are the road to a bleak future for the country reiterating that reading helps in communication, that students must learn to be competent and independent, have working skills and get results concluding that Sierra Leone needs a strong national educational system if quality education is to be achieved.
Earlier in his welcome address, the Acting Principal of the college, Dr. Philip John Kanu said the event is another milestone in the history of the college and recalled recently when the Chief Minister, Professor David Francis commissioned the Solade Adams Public Lectures but that since then they have been looking for a competent person to deliver the first lecture.
He said Dr. Victor Kabia is an outstanding academic with longstanding reputation and encouraged students to ask salient questions after the lecture.
The moderator of the event, Dr. Victor Massaquoi, Commissioner, Tertiary Education Commission, said the public lecture is part of the continuous assessment of students, affirmed that the administration wants the college to return to its past glory, that the event is part of the college’s activities and informed that one of the recommendations of the principal, his administration and the College Council is to organize public lectures to give students the opportunity to interact with lecturers and professionals and highlighted that someof the benefits of the lectures are to maximize thework of students, an opportunity to become academics as well as help them to learn and apply skills.
Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor-Morgan, who introduced the guest speaker, said he is an academic icon who started lecturing at the college in 1986 and has played several roles in the college and the country including serving as Head of Department-Education, Vice Principal, Acting Principal, Chairman of the college’s Academic Board and now Chairman of the Polytechnic Council.
Highlight of the public lecture was the question and answer session.

Omrie Michael Golley who was Sierra Leone’s former Ambassador to South Korea under the previous All Peoples Congress (APC) leadership of President Ernest Bai Koroma, has still not ceased, but continues to woo more investors to come and revamp the economy of Sierra Leone.
Ambassador Omrie Golley, who was sacked by the current Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP) leadership of President Julius Maada Bio, has himself called on all political actors in Sierra Leone to work together to ease the political hate and tension in Sierra Leone.
Whilst dilating on ways to help the current Government for the very good of all Sierra Leoneans, the very renowned UK based lawyer, Ambassador Omrie Golley who is the current CEO/Chairman Board of Directors of Afric-Asia Asset Holdings Limited based in London, United Kingdom, said “notwithstanding the fact that there is a new Government, we must come onboard to improve the lives of the people.”
Ambassador Omrie Golley further said: “Those of us, who have small ways, should come onboard to help,” adding that through his Afric-Asia Asset Holdings Limited as key vehicle to engineer his lobby, he has been able to engage several investors from Kazakhstan, United Kingdom, Turkey and Guinea to come into Sierra Leone and see how they can revamp the economy. He said “I intend to bring more investors from Kazakhstan in the coming months.”
In addition, Ambassador Omrie Golley added that only by enticing potential investors to come and meet the people of Sierra Leone will interest them to come in and work to develop the country.
“I am determined to assist the Government of President Bio, and I believe the key to reviving the economy is through the private sector,” Ambassador Omrie Golley stated. He said, through private sector investment, he is keen on bringing investors to contribute in key areas of the economy, especially in areas like Agriculture, Fishing and Transportation. Thus, he said, already the idea of an improved cocoa production by providing incentives for farmers and assist in revenue generation for Government within the cocoa world.
Meanwhile, it could be recalled that in 2013, long before his appointment as Ambassador to South Korea, Ambassador Omrie Golley had already mobilized the sum of $54 million for the construction of a 15 story building here in Freetown which will comprise of an auditorium, car parking facilities together with office and residential units.
Also, during the Ebola outbreak, Ambassador Omrie Golley facilitated the sum $ 500,000 for the fight against eradicating Ebola. He also facilitated two separate cash and humanitarian donations of $ 300,000 and $ 100,000 by the Korean Government and by the Korean construction conglomerate respectively during the August 14, 2017 Mudslides and Flooding.
Through his quest in developing Sierra Leone in the Water Sector, Koica had also approved the sum of $1 Million grant towards to Sierra Leone for a water rehabilitation project. Ambassador Golley had also facilitated the Construction of the medical centre at Tokeh. He was instrumental in the development of progressive fishing policies between the Korean Government and the Government of Sierra Leone.
Ambassador Omrie Golley promised to reactivate his contacts by bringing onboard all of them through his Afric-Asia Asset Holdings Limited to ensure that all key players of Sierra Leone political system work together for the betterment of the people.

Corruption impacts most heavily on the poor and vulnerable members in society, but underdevelopment affects the future growth and prosperity of all people.
Thus, fighting on behalf of the disempowered and ensuring Sierra Leone’s development means that the responsibility for dealing with corruption falls squarely on all, from the Government and donors to civil society and citizens.
Corruption is a pervasive problem in both the developed and developing world. It is endemic in most African societies but is worst in countries where:
• Institutions such as the legislature and judiciary are weak;
• The rule of law is not strictly enforced;
• Political patronage is the norm;
• The independence and professionalism of the public and private sectors have been eroded; and
• Civil society lacks the means to hold perpetrators to account.
In recent years, the problem has gained much interest due primarily to a series of high level corruption cases in industrialized countries, an increasing awareness of the cost of corruption throughout the world and the practical and economic changes many countries are undergoing.
In Africa however, corruption is a development issue, as it is a crime against development, democracy, education, prosperity, public health and justice – what many would consider the pillars of social well-being.
While Government commits large sums to addressing the plethora of problems hindering development, corruption remains a major obstacle to achieving much needed progress. It is therefore imperative that anti-corruption measures form part of the country’s development agenda to ensure future growth and prosperity.
Corruption is defined as the abuse of entrusted power for private gain, in public and private sectors. Countries are scored based on assessments of the prevalence of bribery of public officials, embezzlement of public funds, kickbacks in public procurement, and questions about the effectiveness of public anti-corruption efforts.
Realizing the SDGs puts the effects of corruption in perspective. A bribe demanded by a teacher to enroll a girl at a ‘free’ elementary school could irreversibly block that girl’s education and future opportunities. A hike in the local cost of drugs might put treatment out of reach of sick people, leaving them unable to work and earn a living. Amounts paid as bribes are often quite small, but the implicit costs are great.
Where bribes are paid, there is a lower literacy rate. Bribery is also associated with higher maternal deaths, regardless of the country’s wealth or how much it invests in health.
The effects of bribery and kickbacks in the education, water and healthcare sectors represent the implicit costs of corruption. These incidents transform corruption into a “regressive tax” on services that the poor cannot afford, making basic services unattainable.
Thus, it is the poor and vulnerable who suffer most due to corruption as they are more reliant on Government services and public systems to satisfy their most basic needs.
In addition to the bribes that are demanded of those who cannot afford them, corruption results in the deviation of funds intended for development and undermine Government’s ability to provide basic services. It also undermines the rule of law, feeding inequality and injustice, discouraging foreign investment, further impeding development.
A lack of transparency, integrity and accountability is related to economic under-performance and fetters progress toward poverty eradication.
In addition to the implicit costs of corruption due to bribery, there are also hidden costs associated with corruption. The costs of a form of corruption termed “quiet corruption” by the World Bank, adversely affect the poor in particular.
The World Bank’s Africa Development Indicators 2010 shows that civil servants’ failure to deliver Government-run health, education or agricultural services, further jeopardizes Africa’s long-term development.
A holistic approach to the problem of corruption includes a comprehensive array of anti-corruption strategies ranging from good governance and structural reform to the participation of civil society.
Its four pillars – prevention, criminalization, asset recovery and international co-operation serve to promote open, honest and efficient decision-making, fair competition and ethical procurement systems, supporting effective Government development strategies.

In an unpalatable development two Police Officers deployed at State House were arrested on the grounds of circulating a sensitive outcry on the Social Media regarded to be very inciting.
The Sierra Leone Police have therefore opened an investigation into alleged corruption and welfare complaints by State House secret services and bodyguards. According to Police Head of Media, Brima Kamara, they received a complaint in an audio recording claiming, “Presidential guards are not okay” with regards to their welfare.
“The Sierra Leone Police (SLP) has established beyond all reasonable doubt that the audio recording making the rounds is the handiwork of a few police officers who are bent on smearing the good image of the office of the presidency,” Brima Kamara said. Police officers, on condition of anonymity, allege that they are paid a meager Le70,000 as Daily Service Allowance (DSA) which is often not paid on time. “Our boss, AIG William Fayia Sellu, is not addressing our welfare concerns at State House,” they claimed.
They also accused some senior Police Officers of corruption and soliciting bribes for deployments at State House. “We have arrested two police officers and investigations are ongoing,” Kamara added. Police officers have been arrested and placed under formal investigation by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) with the view to determining the veracity of all the claims highlighted in the audio recording and also finding out what precipitated the release of the audio to the public.
The Media and Public Relations Unit stated that want to reiterate that the SLP is a disciplined institution with well-established communication channels and redress mechanisms, which guide, direct, and address complaints emanating from personnel within the Force. Brima Kamara assured the public that all allegations of sabotage and corruption referred to in the audio recording are false and a misrepresentation of what obtained at the office of the presidency. Information from other police officers indicate dissatisfaction among other units of Police, who say they have legitimate complaints.
Some officers mentioned a tribal connection also afflicts State House security operations. “Issues raised in the audio will also be equally investigated,” Brima Kamara concluded. According to a senior official at State House they are currently conducting an internal investigation and President Bio has been briefed on the issue. Some state security bodyguards disclosed that it’s better and rewarding to work at the Office of the First Lady Fatima Bio than State House.

Housemates Salone TV Reality Show is hotly debated in various quarters, on the Social Media with individuals expressing divergent views as to how the participants are faring on, whether it was justifiable to evict some of them and predictions churned out as to who will ultimately emerge as winner to take away the covetous Le100,000,000 star prize.
The ongoing Reality TV Show, which will end in two weeks’ time, is becoming tense, very interesting and captivating as the clock ticks every moment.
In reality, it seems as if the House is on fire as the noise within the four corners, caused by the Housemates, sometimes becomes somehow deafening. At times it becomes irritating to viewers but with the intermittent interjections of jokes and ‘blasting’ at each other with name-callings, it finally turns out to be funny especially when it is interjected with singing, playing of games, story-telling and all sorts of craziness.
The crux of the matter is that all the Housemates are really trying to be humorous, trying to be considered effectively using strong language and to be seen displaying nudity that should be very captivating.
The show, as the organizers ,Africa Young Voices (AYV) Media Empire and Africell Lintel Sierra Leone, planned it should be tilted towards youth empowerment providing the level playing field for expression of God given talents and at the same time affording them the opportunity for the acquisition of new skills. That is why the participants are taken through various activities to build up their confidence and transform them into individuals who have been inspired.
In the case of the Chief Executive Officer of AYV, Ambassador Anthony Navo, the dream and passion to empower young people and elevate them in society inspired him to establish the Empire from which many talented young people have benefitted and are still benefitting. There could be no surprise why he was recently awarded so prestigiously as an outstanding personality and entrepreneur.
With Africell, giving support to the young who have entrepreneurial potentials and talents whether in the music industry, sports, education has been part of their Social Corporate Responsibility.
So for the duo, AYV and Africell, to team up and present for the first time the Housemates Salone Reality TV Show geared towards youth empowerment such must not be a surprise anyone.
As the competition continues to build momentum lobbying by fans of the Housemates for members of the public to vote for participants of their choice on Africell No 5500 via text messages is becoming more and more intense. As a matter of fact the names of the Housemates and their tag numbers are displayed on the footage of AYV Television Channel 34 which is airing the Show on a daily basis.
Reaching its climax the public is eagerly looking forward to who will become the youngest millionaire that will emerge from the 2019 Housemates Salone Reality TV Show.
In a related development, it was disclosed that after 2019 Housemates Salone Reality TV Show, the leaders in media and communication, the Africa Young Voices (AYV) Media Empire and Africell Lintel Sierra Leone will be launching another bigger bomb code named Celebrity Housemate Salone 2019 (CHMSL). Le300 Million will be at stake for this next show that will be championed by the two communications giants.
Indeed, AYV and Africell are taking the entertainment industry to another level in this country.
