Tripartite Recommendation 76...
IMC consults the Region

In Bo, the Independent Media Commission, on Monday July 14, 2025, organized a Regional Consultation on the implementation of the Tripartite Committee Recommendation 76.
The recommendation focuses on ‘review of the Independent Media Commission (IMC) Act 2020.’

The session was facilitated by Francis Sowa, a renowned governance and policy expert, who emphasized the need for inclusive dialogue in reforming the media sector.
“This consultation is not just a legal exercise; it is a democratic opportunity to ensure the media operates with both freedom and responsibility,” he said.

President, Sierra Leone Association of Journalists (SLAJ), Alhaji Manika Kamara, delivered a strong statement reaffirming SLAJ’s support for a robust and independent media.
He stated: “The media remains a pillar of democracy, and it is our responsibility to ensure that the laws governing it reflect transparency, account-ability, and modern challenges—especially in the digital age.”

In a notable show of support, Resident Minister South, declared his readiness to serve as a member of the IMC by saying: “I am committed to ensuring that the Commission reflects the values of integrity and public service. I will contribute wherever needed to ensure the IMC is truly in-dependent and effective.”

The engagement brought together media stakeholders, civil society representatives, and government officials to discuss reforms aimed at strengthening Sierra Leone’s media regulatory framework.

The gathering discussed the Key Issues of “Transparent Appointment of IMC Chair; Strengthening IMC’s Enforcement Powers’ and ‘Updating the Code for the Social Media Era’

The stakeholders began by discussing the appointment process of the IMC Chair, currently outlined in Section 3(2) of the IMC Act 2020 (Act No. 3 of 2020). The section states that the Chairperson should be a per-son with at least 10 years of relevant media experience, appointed by the President, in consultation with SLAJ and with the approval of Parliament. Participants called for a more transparent and merit-based process, highlighting the need to avoid political interference and ensure public trust in the Commission.

The second session focused on the IMC’s ability to enforce the Media Code of Conduct as laid out in the IMC Regulations 2022. Many attendees agreed that the Commission currently lacks adequate authority to take effective disciplinary action against violations.
Calls were made for a review of the Act to provide the IMC greater enforcement powers.

The third and final session addressed the relevance of the existing media regulations in an age dominated by social media. Participants expressed concern that the current Code of Conduct does not adequately account for digital platforms, misinformation, and online harassment.
They urged that the regulations be updated to reflect the evolving media landscape, particularly the growing influence of social media on public discourse.

The consultations in Bo are part of a nationwide series of engagements, which will inform a broader legislative review of the IMC Act.
The aim is to produce an updated legal framework that supports press freedom, professional ethics, and effective regulation in both traditional and digital media.

Who Succeeds Bio?

By Bakoi Moi

Perhaps one of the reasons why Sierra Leone was still on its knees even before the 11years war from March, 23, 1991 to January 18, 2002 is because of the caliber of people in whose hands we continue to entrust Sierra Leone.
According to the UNDP Human Development Index for Sierra Leone in 1990, the country ranked 126 out of 130 and this led to frustration of the citizens over the socio-Economic development; thus the foundation of decade year war was laid.

In the 2017 UNDP Human Development Index Report, Sierra Leone ranked 184 out of 189 countries globally.
Among other factors, this was one of the frustrations that prompted the citizens to seek for a new set off leaders, hopefully to take the citizens if not to a paradise but closer to paradise.

However, in 2024, The UNDP Human Development Index for Sierra Le-one declined 3 places from 181 to 184. ’Why?
If you work the Maths and see how easy is it to know that since 1990 to now Sierra Leone is strug-gling to even creep.

Since Independence in 1961, Sierra Leone is the 10th least developed country after Somalia, South Sudan (which got independence in 2011), Central Africa Republic, Niger, Chad, Mali, Burundi, Yemen and Burkina Fasso.

The Green Revolution came but it leaves were turned to red or brown. No one, who was involved in the project can confess where the seeds and fer-tilizers or pesticides that were supplied or bought by donor organizations went.

So many development plans and strategies have been developed to cush-ion development anomalies that have plagued the country, Yet Sierra Le-oneans are yet to get portable drinking water, 24hours of electricity, 11 universities catering for more than 200,000 potential students for every academic year.
Tourism is sector still creeping. There is nothing to show for the huge quantum of funds which the FAO had been given to Sierra Leone to grow the food we eat.

Patients of various ailments are still clamoring to seek medical treatment outside Sierra Leone even when CoMaHS, which started at new England Ville over 30 years ago has produced so many medical doctors.
It is ironical that most of our Medical Doctors seek treatment abroad when sick.
Once, the Athens of West Africa; Fourah Bay College, University of Sier-ra Leone, which was set up in1827 has produced so many graduates, but one wonders what positive impact has this institution had on the socio-economic development of Sierra Leone in spite of the caliber of excellent products from its womb.

The same could be said of Njala University, which was set up in 1964, specifically to train Sierra Leoneans in Agriculture and to use the knowledge gained to grow crops that can make Sierra Leone food self-sufficient.
Indeed, one wonders whether the 1964 goal to set up Njala University has been achieved?

Who have been implementing development programmes in Sierra Leone since Independence?
It is no gain-saying that those who we trust for implementation of all development programmes in Sierra Leone may have either studied at Fourah Bay College, Njala University, Milton Margai Teachers College, Bo Teachers College, Makeni Teachers College or Bunumbu Teachers College with few Sierra Leoneans who may have studied abroad.

To implement these development projects, FAO, IMF, World Bank, the Paris Club, and UN Agencies have all contributed to the socio-Economic and political development of Sierra Leone, which is yet to come a reality. What happened to those funds these good will organizations have been pouring into Sierra Leone since Independence for Sierra Leoneans to get quality life?

The absence of leaders who have genuine love for Sierra Leone since in-dependence is apparently responsible for Sierra Leone being the 10th least developed country in the world
A deep reflection of the human resources that Sierra Leone has produced from its academic institutions over the years who have been working in government institutions and leaders will oblige you to think where has development funds been going?
Why are citizens denied the privilege of a quality life that goes beyond 64 years?

It makes me recall what one of them, one of the honest Sierra Leoneans who worked in the judiciary for many years, as lawyer, and as Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) and Deputy Foreign Minister, once told me.
He told me that to choose a leader abroad, voters consider the back-ground of the candidates. Lawyer Brima Kebbie went to say that voters abroad are never influenced by the wealth of candidates who would want to represent their people.

The man, who is late now, stayed as a tenant at Charles Street, Freetown for over 30 years even when he was appointed DPP.
He continued to live at Charles Street until his death without moving to the government quar-ter allocated to him at Signal Hill Road.

He also told me that though he had been deputy foreign minister, DPP and also worked for so long, he could not construct a house.
I asked him why? He replied that the salary of civil servants can’t build a house for any in Sierra Leone, except otherwise.
Therefore, modest lifestyles of leaders in Sierra Leone is worthy of consideration in choosing those who should steer the ship of Sierra Leone.

Lack of serious considerations of the background of those who want to always lead Sierra Leone is one of the main reasons why Sierra Leone is the 10th least developed country in the world despite all the Seminars, Conferences, Retreats, Workshops, we continue to hold.
Ireland for example, has no mineral resources. It depends on its human resources to be where it is today among nations. Choosing candidates who have no criminal record, but a good background henceforth, will help all development programmes to be implemented well in order for Sierra Leoneans to enjoy some qualities of life.

Deviating from this determining factor to elect our leaders will continue to make Sierra Leone not only one of the least developed countries, but the vicious circle of always voting for leaders who purport to be coming from heaven but are wolves-in-sheep-clothing.

‘Monkey nor de lef imm black an’. Once a thief, always a thief and a cor-rupt person will always remain a corrupt leader.

AIG suggests punishment for LUCs

By Peter Munda Stevens

“Any Local Unit Commander who records up to three-armed robbery cases within their operational areas will be immediately transferred,” Assistant Inspector General, Sierra Leone Police Force, South, Braima Kanneh stated in an interview with this medium.
He said the proposal is a call for all Police Officers to know that he does not accept negligence in security in his jurisdiction.
He stated that he has informed all the Local Unit Commanders of the Southern Region about this strong directive.

Meanwhile, he explained that the directive is part of his broader strategies of ensuring accountability and effectiveness in the force. Among other things, he mentioned the case and dismissal of six police officers implicated in robbery last year.
He further explained that the above action also clearly demonstrated the zero-tolerance stance on any Officers caught in crimes or misconducts.

That notwithstanding, there has been increase in robbery and aggravation in Bo and the AIG told this medium that the police have received multiple reports of armed robbery and house break-ins within the entire town.

Speaking on that, he disclosed that both Local Unit Commanders (LUCs) in Bo East and Bo West have submitted reports detailing incidents of violent robberies and “larceny” in some sections of Bo.
He said that investigations into their reports have paid-off.
“Four suspects have been arrested in connection with the Mendewa incident, while three suspects were also apprehended following a robbery at the SaLWaCo premises,” he stated.

He further said: “These suspects were thoroughly investigated, and their case files were sent to the State Counsel.
"The files have now been returned to us with instructions to charge the suspects to court.”
"Most of the cases involve robbery with aggravation and conspiracy and which are all felonious offences.”

He however complained that the police have constraints in carrying out their required duties. He cited that the population of the town has grown with expansion of the town beyond reach of police resources.
As for vehicular patrolling of the town, he complained that the police have only 3 vehicles to use at night and that he said makes it difficult for the police to promptly respond to all reported incidents.

“It is against this background that we have collaborated with community leaders to form Community Safety Volunteers (CSVs). These volunteers are helping the police to be vigilant and protect their neighbourhoods,” he added.

NPRA DG says in Abuja
Fragmented fuel laws stifle the region

Director General, Sierra Leone’s National Petroleum Regulatory Authority-NPRA, Brima Baluwa Koroma, within July 22 and 23, 2025, participated in a landmark Global Commodity conference on the Refined Fuel Market in Abuja, Nigeria.

In his address, the Sierra Leone’s Director General of the National Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NPRA), Brima Baluwa Koroma shared his deep-rooted commitments in Sierra Leone’s Petroleum landscape in the last six years, which is a pathway positioning the industry on the Africa Continent as one of the productive sectors.

He said that in a region where over 70% of refined petroleum products are imported, despite its immense hydrocarbon potential; fuel costs account for over 40% of national import bills in many ECOWAS countries; placing a burden on both government and citizens as price volatility, supply chain inefficiencies, and quality disparities persist; a harmonized regulatory landscape is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.

“The fragmentation of laws, policies, standards and tax regimes across West Africa weakens our collective leverage and stifles investment.
It creates cross-border inconsistencies in fuel trade and pricing, uncoordinated subsidy policies and tariff structures, unfair competition and regulatory arbitrage, and reduced investors' confidence.
“As regulators, we are constantly grappling with volatility, global oil prices, supply disruptions, suboptimal refining capacity, infrastructural gaps, and regulatory inconsistencies.
These challenges are not unique, but what is new is the growing consensus that regional integration is not just desirable; it’s necessary and timely” he noted.

He appealed to colleague regulators to institutionalize a coordinating regional technical group of downstream regulators to be sharing industry best practices with one another, align policies, working models, promoting joint initiatives recalling commercial best practices from East Africa and SADAC for South Africa.
He fully supported the need for a regional fuel pricing benchmark and regulatory alignment in the African Region.

This inaugural conference was hosted by Platts S&P Global and the National Mid and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority of Nigeria.
The conference which drew petroleum regulators in Africa countries, petroleum marketing companies, refiners, energy experts and other recognized petroleum players in Africa like the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), NPA, SONAP and the leading petroleum group in Africa, the Dankote Petroleum Refinery which is the biggest refinery in Africa and the sixth largest in the world.

The conference objectives align with the emerging global realities of Energy Security and sustainability; correcting the challenges in the petroleum sector and refined commodity flow in Africa on the need to take responsibility leadership in providing the necessary space on energy for its citizens while exponentially increasing the energy efficiency in Africa and the prosperity across the world.

On the sideline of the conference, the Director General of NPRA held bilateral engagements with his colleague counterparts that are over tanked to priotise Sierra Leone as a viable partner for development and Petroleum storage for the Region.

The African Downstream Regulators Association was unanimously established, including NMDPRA, Nigeria, DGH, Côte d'Ivoire, NPRA, Sierra Leone, SONAP Guinée, NPA Ghana, ARSE, Niger, CSPH, Cameroon, CNHY, Mauritanie, OMH, Madagascar, PAU, Uganda, ERB, Zambia, EWURA, Tanzania, CRSE, Sénégal, PURA, Gambia, ZERA, Zimbabwe, MERA, Malawi, ARSAT, Chad, IRDP, Angola, EPRA, Kenya, ESERA, Eswatini energy and other petroleum experts in order to harmonize the African downstream market.

Bo Hospital fencing gets help from Washington

By Juana Jaward

Sierra Leone Community Development Association Washington Donates 1,350 Blocks to Rebuild Bo Government Hospital Fence Bo, Sierra Leone A remarkable gesture of goodwill from the Sierra Leone Community Development Association based in Washington, USA, has sparked appreciation and hope in Bo.
The group, made up of Sierra Leoneans living in the United States, has donated 1,350 cement blocks to aid in the reconstruction of the collapsed fence surrounding the Bo Government Hospital.

Speaking on behalf of the group, Jusufu Paye, a member of the Community and who represented them explained that the donation came purely out of goodwill and a sense of responsibility towards their beloved Sierra Leone.
“We feel good to help. This is the kind of work we do, not because we are told to, but because we want to,” he said during his brief address at the hospital grounds.

Head of the Hospital's Humanitarian Department, Dr. David Conteh, shared his enthusiasm and gratitude, saying: “We’re hoping for more.” “We feel so excited.” “We’re ready for the work ahead.”
He also praised the association for stepping in at a critical time, stating that their action brings not only materials but motivation and momentum.

In a separate interview, Dr. Joe L. Belmon reflected on the challenges faced since the fence collapsed.
He noted that security at the hospital had been under serious stress, raising concerns for both patients and staff. He expressed sincere thanks to the diaspora group: “This is more than just building a wall it’s rebuilding our confidence and strengthening our safety.”

Further appreciation came from Dr. David Conteh and Mary Foday, who both commended the Sierra Leone Community Development Association for their continuous support.

Bo School’s BoG...
Can repent

Nearly, all schools in Sierra Leone depend on the system of the Board of Governors taking the lead in the process of recruitment of a new Principal and the Bo Government Secondary School is no exception.
The Bo School’s Board of Governors, almost does everything in the process replacing the school’s principal, as the Board undertakes the announcement of vacancy, receives applications, does shortlisting and interviews for the position.
Their work stops on the Desk of the Chief Education Officer, who might approve or not, the chosen principal of the Board, though that has not happened over the past decades.

However, the Government of Sierra Leone’s Civil Service Code and Regulations clearly talk on the promotion of a Civil Servant.

Rule 5.4 talks about Promotions and it clearly states that “When considering officers for promotion, due regard shall be paid to two elements. The two elements it states are “merit” and “seniority”.

Rule 5.5 states: “Merit is the primary consideration to be taken into account in deciding on promotions. Merit means demonstrated competence in the past as measured by an officer's performance appraisal reports.

“Merit also means objective assessment that the officer is competent to perform the tasks attached to a post at the higher level, including a review of successful completion of required pre-promotion training, and career development.”

It's worthy to note that since the Bo School came into existence, it owes its achievement to the strong leadership and efficient managerial skills of its past principals and hardworking staff.
Principals like Rev. James Proudfoot, Frank de Lezle, Tom Smith and others, were successful because of their commitments and passion to the Teaching Service.

However, with the introduction of Africans into the managerial system of the Bo School, came in problems that many could not manage and that eventually led them to failing the school and failing in their pursuit.

The problem became glaring when the country gained Independence and when the Old Bo Boys Association became powerful in the 1960s.

Since 1960, the school remembers little of the achievements of most of its principals and more so ones like William F Conton, Sheikh Imam Sesay, I B Kamara, Bob Katta and of late Edward Kpakra, as his achievement is still counted by many old boys as ‘minimal’.

But there is one thing familiar among all of the above principals; they were brought from outside the school to manage a system that they had less clue of.
It all started in 1960 with William F Conton, an accomplished Educationist who was chosen from out of the school’s staff to head the school. His two years reign ended with a strike as his regime brought in discord among the staff.
He was quick in asking his best teachers to leave due to tiffs and led to the school losing brilliant minds.
His term ended with a strike as so was his successors like Principals Sheikh Imam Sesay and IB Kamara

Then in 1978 came the young and energetic Festus M Seiwoh, who was picked from the school’s Teaching Staff.
His era as principal is still the golden era of this great golden school, the Bo School.

After him came Raymond Bob Katta, who many thought would bring sanity to the school as he had vast experience lecturing at a Higher Institution. But this hope was soon dashed when his era brought in mass indiscipline among the pupils.
Bound-breaking became a normality in the school and for that Old Boys and parents complained. He however left the office, upon clocking his Retirement Age, 60.

After him came Musa Imam Amara and George Evans Kweku Nyarko, who were part of the school’s staff and who partially succeeded in bringing sanity to the school because of their nearness to the problems and abilities to proffer solutions.
Principal Musa Imam Amara produced good results and maintained sanity in the school and Kweku Nyarko, an inexperienced young leader as he was, brought the school to a level of excellence many never expected.

What we at Home Times would like the Board to know is that, actions of the Board most times affect many, just like the mistake of a teacher.
We would also like to remind you that your wrong action can demotivate nearly all the teachers who have sacrificed their precious time to diligently serve the school.
You should also know that a bad choice could face constraints in managing both the human and material resources and should the would-be Principal choose to divide and rule, he would have no effective system where the teachers would giver their-all.

Finally, please know that, most teachers would not be at peace with any wrong-choice as they would view any bad promotion to the position as a demotivating factor that shows that no matter should they give their last blood in service to the school, their efforts would never be recognized and their dreams of growing would never materialize.
Lessons are there for us to learn from past mistakes.

We at this newspaper are aware that the history of Principals that have led the great Bo School since 1906, is as intriguing as the school itself and its products are.
To be principal of that great school means you are the head of the only Vatican City in Sierra Leone, where the Principal is ‘President’ of a great empire, old students and visitors.

The position of Principal for Bo School is an enviable position for every successful Teacher.
In our opinion, we are confident that you will change the course of history and give the school the principal it deserves to take it to what we all know and want. It is never too late, for your actions to affect the school and its Teachers, goodly and not badly.

Luckily, the Board is Chaired by our revered Dr Shodankay Elongima Johnson, who is a no-nonsense character and who is known to be a sound Preacher that has changed the lives of many.

Our Journey

This newspaper was established in 2014 with the sole aim of reporting stories that happen in the Provinces of Sierra Leone, as most times they are not reported by our national newspapers that are all based in Freetown. Home Times was also established to serve as the trusted voice of the people of the people of Sierra Leone, more so at a time when journalists have rejected ethics for ‘brown-envelopes. Additionally, the establishment of the newspaper provides answer to the question: ‘Why are all the newspapers in Sierra Leone found only in the capital city Freetown?’ And that is the challenge.

Operating a newspaper in a country like ours where Decentralization is only a lip-service, seems impoosible; where all big businesses have their offices in Freetown is killing; where adverts even for jobs to be done in the provinces are advertized in the city newspapers is unbelievable; where even those responsible for improving journalism profession don’t care or feel jealous to share the sweet art of newspaper journalism with the provincials. No wonder newspapers have been established in the provinces and closed later. But Home Times is here with a new powerful tide. Tide that has seen the newspaper survive over these three years with no major source of advert.
