Bintumani Hotel, Freetown, Sierra Leone, Friday 9 April 2021 – His Excellency President Dr Julius Maada Bio has addressed the first-ever presidential town hall where journalist Umaru Fofana moderated questions on what his New Direction government has done in the last three years in power.
In an opening statement of the event organised by Sierra Eye Magazine, Mr Fofana said the president came with his vision to address some of the perennial problems that had beset the nation before and since independence on 27 April 1961.
“They include the setbacks in ensuring law and order, governance deficit, increased poverty occasioned by a sliding economy and official theft, the steady erosion of the country’s human capital development, protecting the homogeneity within the diversity of our cohesiveness as a nation, and accountability – especially in the fight against corruption,” he declared.
