Road Map To A New Sierra Leone, part 1

We have one more political capital through democratic means closed, a new dispensation with new rings Hope in the faces and hearts of the people of Sierra Leone. In retrospect, were not many good or positive things said or achieved in the last 12 years. But honestly progress were in certain structures of ex-President had been decommissioned, Kabbah some NRA, ACA, and NATCOM SNNIT positive vision by name, but maintained in bad faith and negative Intentions by selfish and greedy individuals. There is no art in the world, you can read the minds and hearts of people from a ladder or person for elected public or political offices. Ex President Kabbah was not a soothsayer to predict events, or events should not have taken the best of him twice, he was of circumstances within its control to throw his clock. He has played his role and has influenced and legacy to the trail of the time, good and bad, as he is only human, is time to tell. No country man, I have nobody to repeat from Sierra Leone, the moral faculty that Dr Kabbah that work, sleep and make decisions with him use to assess. One can clearly see that is ex-President Kabbah's critics and venom coming from his own house very political and the people with him today exactly what they other have done yesterday is a sacred cow buttressing statements contained in this document, without prejudice. Why did not they try so when he was at the peak of power as President Sierra Leone? This shows the hypocrisy and evil embedded in our society continues to create bad blood ferment and trouble.

The people of Sierra Leone has a lot to learn from the 'Kabbah experience "which" Stevens Factor "and" Momoh legacy "if they progress and move us makes sense to use the experiences of the past as a mirror and yard stick to measure with their actions. A nation that does not own experiences in its history is dome forgotten. History is what shapes the present and the future prepared. Sierra Leone needs to learn to make progress shaped by historical events, both negative as well as positive rather than continuing with the same social standard patterns of behavior (the blame game), since the status quo since gaining their independence in 1961st

I'm not holding brief for anyone. My ability to appreciate and prudent in generosity come from my experiences in the three Exemption but even more clearly in the former President Kabbah's rule for which I have to have all the reasons and justification vindictive, intellectually shameless and disrespectful. My dilemmas during the reign of SLPP are not the sole responsibility of the ex-President Kabbah but collective bargaining with political officials, Perpetrators and executors of a grand plan to eliminate perceived threats to the maintenance of political power in the statements of Mr. Solomon Berewa made with loving care SoloB called in his word, if the APC could rule for 23yrs, the SLPP, and will rule for 33yrs. I am neither bitter nor resentful, I've been through, in the hands of politicians and officials SLPP but steadfast and focused, as already risen, because revenge is not mine, but for the Lord our God. Although not all facts were tendered, including personal emotional trauma. I suffered in silence, lost all my assets and foundation with my sweat and hard earned money built in my own country. Some sympathized, many laughed and rejoiced at my misfortune, disaster and persecution by my generosity towards fellow citizens by association and cooperation, many by not my will, but through divine circumstances. Friends, family, colleagues, business partners and all the set rationalization episodes to their goals for the survival suit. Today I thank the Almighty God that I'm still alive, enlighten and better, as I was, do not complain, and enjoyed the great architect of the universe, my judge. It only fools do not change and only change people change able things.

Our new President Ernest Koroma beloved B was very magnanimous and generous in creating a very laudable and ambitious Way to bring on board from all sides and shades not monopolize, but accommodative to build a better land tenure. Again, as many people to help themselves or enlarged sincerely welcome embraces the philosophy and vision of the President in his wisdom only show the time. President Koroma enjoys today, what Stevens, Momoh Kabbah and a Point in time was popular consensus of the people. They were at the end, abandoned by the very people and system they preside. The archives are here to confirm order. History in most of the times has never been friendly to good men who are internally since their bones. It has always repeats itself, but we have never learned through his experience. Reading about the indictment of former President Kabbah of ECOWAS Mohamed Wansa of all people is painful and a great shame for our country. The individual shall include, in many shady deals and contracts have been hostile to the welfare of Sierra Leone. I do not want to that question, because it is expensive subjudice. The system and Sierra Leone are all very be held responsible for this unfortunate episode.

This is no longer ex-President Kabbah, but our sovereign Integrity has been insulted and put to disrepute. Do you know how many Lebanese or foreign business entity before a tribunal for nefarious activities to the State of Sierra Leone charged? What about the abbess Brothers case with the Ministry of Agriculture and other swept under the carpet with flagrant impunity? Do you know how many ran, back when they abuse the system and when the heat is collected without charge has been to use the system again in even more damage to the economy of our Ignorance and feelings of hoarding and price fixing is running a parallel economy so frustrating genuine efforts of pasts and present governments?. Especially in the sad Look COMIUM Mobile Phone company employee SAGA. It is ironic and sad to hear from the outside what some of these so-called business-characters who identify with the economic exploitation by truck are to say to our citizens and officials, government officials and wanted to free phones and free calls for themselves and family and friends, you do not think should pay for this? It is a boomerang effect there is no free launch these days specified in the economy with emphasis by a so-called investor.

This clearly shows there are too many vested interests in the affairs of the country, too many interest groups from outside than from within the people who the country enjoys. The country is in a state of confusion, economic and social performance of independent personal enlargement and compensatory justice instead of national reconciliation as a barometer for positive change. The TRC report was a wonderful substance and its conclusion said it all. "The nature of the situation the country is not in the best interest of the people and development. "Everything must be put in behind the annals of history. The country has moved before the next phase of Reconstruction of the car wrecks and war through the implementation of Koroma People `s Plan (CPP), which should be an economic and social blueprint formula that must bring forth a national strategy for the blueprint and the country to revive. If we want to go, what transpired since the 1997 shows, we continue to live in the past, lack of ability, to be compassionate and tolerant, even in the pursuit of political justice. The judiciary, including the International Court of Justice is in a snail's pace. Delayed Denied legal period. What kind of justice the country wants to do or are looking for? If it is to go the "eye for an eye", is finally all blind to the real truth and actually defeated the whole purpose and goal of democratization and human rights and compassionate factor in any civilized society. This type of individual occupations for personal justice against the country `s public interest must be discouraged. The larger national interests and holistic picture is the priority as now. People need to build their new life, to rehabilitate their broken homes and families to survive jobs, food, shelter, medicines and education as a condition for hope in the present and confidence in the future.

The APC administration as the leader of the nation that are in Sierra Leone to look up many need for dynamic and clear focus on local and continental fronts are working hard to develop a robust governance radical as visionary, as is already established and demonstrated the political will to some courageous initiatives which will last many, perhaps too ambitious, as in the vision of President "let there be light by 20th December 2007 and there was light. "

A short-term intensive planning is needed to correct the factors that led to the country's economy, miss-shifting boost from past neglect. It must be recalled that at the Millennium Summit, governments by 50% the number of people living in the world on $ 1 per day cut will be agreed and a further 50% of the population to $ 2 per day by 2015.

While in agreement with the fact that foreign Development aid, foreign direct investment, debt relief, fighting corruption, the establishment of regulatory authority by international aid for recipient countries are some of the ingredients when taken sincerely and honestly to help raise levels of growth per year, it is noteworthy that an innovative and visionary macroeconomic framework, coupled with an urgent action plan must be created to confront immediate challenges facing the nation to achieve its program, the objectives, it national Aspirations. "No people can be by or under the institutions that are not profit from their own character." The maintenance of a consistent strategy within the limits, it is macro-economic framework, Sierra Leone should be job creation, an urgent priority, while actively managing the policy and inflation gradually cut interest rates to lower inflation in the country reflect the possibility of reducing government expenditure to the government, the reliance on international Donors and the IMF, and encouraged commercial banks to the private sector, which gives ultimately result in reducing the lowering of lending rates and the strengthening of a viable private sector. Other important measures are taken to a closer monitoring of speculation on the so-called parallel gray market, negotiating a free trade zone Agreements in order to open up more foreign markets, informed diversification and strengthening of agriculture, promoting exports and competitiveness, aggressive, strategic land image projection and publicity and investment promotion. The necessity of investments in small businesses through tourism Argument that are in countries like the United States of America and Canada, Small Business Investors, rather than referring to large corporations are the backbone of the economy. Investors can invest in specific facilities and major tourist attractions.

With a high poverty and unemployment, the biggest challenge for the country obviously is the development of industry and the subsequent increase in employment. To create a very robust and expanding economy would naturally different ways to generate revenue. Sierra Leone needs in new areas such as the growth and export of spices, tuna, sardines and shrimp processing look for export, cultivation and export of organic food in Europe, the provision of credit facilities and modern agricultural methods to farmers by good storage facilities secured for an organized marketing system, a good access from farms to major routes, the introduction of youth camps Agriculture important agricultural programs, which could develop in International Farm Camps, access to the huge Chinese market, the development of the industrial and service Free zone through worldwide research, progressive reforms of its investment code, aggressive marketing and investment promotion.

A free zone should be able to invest for the construction of a large bunker storage facilities, oil refineries attract to process crude oil from oil producing countries to supply the nations and Ships in the West African sub-region, world-class gold-refining, diamond cutting and polishing, packaging production, state-of-the-art security printing for the African Market. We have Banana Iceland, Pepel Bonthe and Iceland to name a few of the Tax Free Haven as a viable and free trade zones on behalf of international investors to gain with a very attractive and to promote generous tax free plan for rapid development.

Manufacturers may also in the free zone and access to markets in the United producing States and Europe. Efforts should be to create the right conditions to facilitate the speedy implementation of legislation and policy as an offshore, could not be that banks and investment houses congloromat in. I asked myself why are Sierra Leone, the first institution of learning in Africa revive develop such legacy into a center for learning, where the European and American universities such as Durham and Cambridge could be established in the colonial period. Africans as well as Arabs, the study could no longer study in the West for reasons of security, in similar institutions in Sierra Leone. A major foreign currency earner, the SL did not explore is the training of highly skilled workers such as artisans and information technology technician for export and to support the industrial Free zone development, and technology development.

The Security Council could also be introduced and agencies engaged in civil and construction works, agricultural activity to generate funds for these institutions to improve their lives, while discharge to the taxpayer of some tasks. A streamlined and efficient Re-export Trade Center, a world-class facilities leasing services within ports to compliment the work of the Ports and Harbour Authority would result in greater efficiency in the port encourage faster turnaround time for ships, more frequency of vessels, lower freight rates, further volumes of goods on the market, competition, greater flow of goods generated by the neighboring countries, foreign cash / centralization by local banks and an eventual drop in prices on the market. A very serious Concerns of investors, not frustrating the existing One-Stop Shop is bureaucracy, the lack of a fast-track business to focus on the commercial court, and accelerate business Cases. The country should strive to a service support and semi-production basis for the other West African countries with a diversity of natural resources blessed?

In Sierra Leone's relations with the international community: "It is a time of understanding and closer partnerships and relationships do not interfere ".

I think Sierra Leone would benefit greatly from forging closer relations with Ghana, Liberia, South Africa, Nigeria, Gambia, Ivory Coast, Democratic Republic of Congo, Senegal, Mali, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea and Niger.

I called President Koroma and his administration to short-term training programs, which the nation for aggressive country would begin preparing publicity, promotion and properly receive and constructively to expand mix of foreign direct investment, and strengthening the economic base of the country. Investment is a market and with every nation aggressive out there, grabbed his share of the market, could take the lead on Sierra Leone is the best option of creating awareness among citizens and foreign countries and their involvement in the process to achieve national development very important goal of a sovereign credit rating. A sovereign rating is an important basis for investors in evaluating the economic environment in which they may or not decide to make use of an investment. Attractiveness of this money is not easy because the countries are competing with each other need for investment to other countries in the same region and against the rest of the world. Money is a coward and will go nowhere if it is put in fear. It is fly away by corruption, bad policy and would not hang out conflicts. Neither would want to political unpredictability and instability.

Investments would go where it is allowed and where investors can be confident of return on money they put at minimum risk. Many at the time, resources, the risk an investor takes in that not only that certain investors, but shareholders, shareholders, ordinary people in developing nations in a certain companies have invested and expect that business to earn money for charity, entrusted to it. By achieving a good credit rating, the country will To help reduce risk, provide incentives for investment and courage to capital. It is the nation's ticket to the benefits of the global economy and capital flows, the exits in the global economy.

Countries without ratings are even more mysterious to the investor and therefore risky. The criteria for achieving a good credit rating includes a stable society that is in a way that all people have in society, which works for all and above all a process of judging disputes about whether the law can regulate understanding was structured in a civil way without violence, enforceable contracts, and corruption, a fast-track approach minimized. Investors are concerned that they are going to lose their property or their liberty in society. China had the impressive figures of FDI, because it was all perfectly in place, they also created significant shelters inland areas where significant development is one of law, enforceable contracts and a government that does not allow it, the corruption in the traditional sense. White color in the crime, which has eaten the wells of a series of prosperous economies, should therefore not be allowed to deter investment in the implementation of the Sierra Leone's economic vision, including an offshore banking program, such as Jersey and Cayman Iceland. The local economy and Sierra Leone in foreign countries have the right information and tools to be armed in order to present effective ways of the nation to the international economy for positive reaction.

Sierra Leone is to reposition and anchor on the basics of improving the competitive position and comparative Advantages in it's core competencies to diversify the economic base is to move from his heavy reliance on donor funds and import business to a proactive Policy of export diversification and value-added production as the basis for the industrialization on the huge potential of our agriculture, fisheries, minerals, horticulture, Computing and other embedded services. A new partnership must be created between the government and the citizens in order to achieve the targets of the country dream. We must work together to create the necessary conditions so that Sierra Leone is again seen as friendly to foreign direct investment, then we will begin, the creation of jobs, that the development of human potential and created to see poverty reduction. Passionately this is the only way we maintain our sovereignty, restore integrity, dignity and morality, can move forward.

Finally, I appealed to the APC administration continues to respect human rights, as generously shown and proved seriously engaged in the repair of both political, tribal and social divisions in society, a true spirit to exercise compassion and tolerance to make more, their behavior reflects an administration which is hard at work making a better life for the people, and one, new friends and gaining confidence investors. Times have not been hard for people everywhere, in Sierra Leone, but we just have faith with the President and his government.

Despite the additional hardships that they are permanent, because coupled small hiccups and errors here and Sierra Leone to realize some of that President Koroma is at great pains charting the right course, but also sentimental and generous. He needs more genuine, creative, sincere, honest and extravagant hands on deck to help him earlier, to achieve his vision. Time is not his best allies. Sierra Leone's living abroad and in the Diaspora need for friends to help in the provision of foreign business, grants rail road rehabilitation and construction of a new airport, roads and other infrastructure, aid to schools and hospitals, country publicity to reinvigorate and prioritize professional ICT training, aggressive investment promotion and to influence positive change. In pursuit of a nation's golden future, the collaborative, cooperative and patriotic spirit should be the pivoting force with the knowledge that the development of a nation through a positive change and the innovative contributions of all will be linked. We need to heal as a team or die as individuals. It is therefore remarkable that we have a shared responsibility. We should not allow yesterday wars, tribalism, party politics, victimization, persecution and disappointment over-shadow tomorrow's dreams. If Singapore, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, India, Ghana and Mauritius have been able to do it, to succeed in Sierra Leone can. You may be wondering will it work? "It must work, and she is already working "….
