Traditional leaders have a unique role in governance in 🇸🇱. I paid my respects to Paramount Chiefs from Bomboli; Marampa; Gbanti; and Gbo Chiefdoms. Helpful to hear first-hand about local day to day challenges and opportunities. Plenti Tenki an una all fo di warm welkom!
@LisaJChesney @UKinSierraLeone Bad market for the British peoples and appointing you as high commissioner for our great nation !! I still have that tape don’t forget!!!
@LisaJChesney @UKinSierraLeone They were respected and valued traditionally by citizens years passed. But in today's Sierra Leone, they have lost all credibility in the eyes of majority of the citizenry because of their continued silence in the face of all the bad things that have happened since 2018 .
@LisaJChesney @UKinSierraLeone These traditional leaders are now more politicians than traditional leaders. Their authority is now overshadowed by brown envelopes than their roles as moral guarantors. Simply put they are all State Captured whether in Parliament or in their localities (Chiefdom)
@LisaJChesney @UKinSierraLeone In the colonial days the UK used the traditional chiefs to suppress Sierra Leoneans and today they are applying the same tactics to fool and convince people to accept this electoral fraud. But I will like the UK to know that Paramount chiefs are of little or no value nowadays.
@LisaJChesney @UKinSierraLeone If you met those traditional leaders to get first hand information about how the ordinary citizens have suffered under Bio's reckless presidency, you have just gathered the wrong piece because they and Bio are birds of a feather.
