It was strange for the Sierra Leone President to even think about wanting to slash the number of Leone Stars’ players from 41 to 29 for the land gifts.
Last-minute U-turn by the Sierra Leone President Julius Maada Bio saw his promise realised to give monetary and land gifts to all 41 Leone Stars’ players for pipping the Squirrels of Benin. Despite behind the scenes hiccup to slyly reduce the number from 41 to 30 players for the cash and from 41 players to 29 for the land, President Bio finally changed his mind to dole out the sums of 4,100,000,000.00 Leones equivalent to 410,000.00 United States dollars and plots of land to 41 players of the National Football team Leone Stars.

THE SHAMEFUL LANDS AND COUNTRY PLANNING MINISTER DR. DENNIS SANDY
Controversial Lands and Country Planning Minister, Dr. Dennis Sandy a man who has embarrassed the Maada Bio Government so much and is abhorred by even ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party ( SLPP ) supporters for his callous destruction of people’s homes and seizure of lands belonging to private citizens almost marred the much-awaited Constituency 110 Bye-elections in Freetown last Saturday and should by now have been fired by President Maada Bio.
In presenting its report on the much-heated bye-elections, the National Elections Watch ( NEW ) issued a serious complaint about Minister Sandy. According to NEW , Sandy stormed a polling station at Kent Village with thugs and disrupted the work of the National Elections Commission ( NEC ). One of the thugs even threatened the life of a district electoral commission.
