MISSION 100
President of Sierra Leone's 1st 100 Days Mission
The President of Sierra Leone during campaigning outlined the following as his top 5 priorities for his first 100 days in office
1. Electricity across all 12 districts: "We have already narrowed down our options in this regard and we know exactly how many megawatts are achievable in the short run that will provide succor to our people."
2. Jobs for all, especially the Youths: "So that their self-worth and self-confidence can be restored. The positive spirit shall rise again."
3. Sanitation: "We will restore hygienic environmental sanitation and deliver effective healthcare to the masses."
4. Education: "We will embark on academic and vocational education for our children to better equip them for the Rennaissance of Sierra Leone."
5. Judiciary: "We will grant full autonomy to the judiciary and the existing Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) as well as appoint an independent prosecutor for the Truth and Recomciliation Commission (TRC)."
The comments attributed to HE President Ernest Koroma was culled from Concord Times, September 18th issue.
What would by your priority for the first 100 days? As for me, I'll build a brand new parliament building in the most central part of Sierra Leone. Wanna find out why this will be my priority? More later!
Notwithstanding, what would you do?

President Ernest Koroma has pulled off a master stroke. He has instructed all incumbent Ministers to stay in their posts until it is time for them to hand over to successors.
The master stroke, however, is by introducing Auditors into the mix. All ministries will now be audited to allow for a smooth transition from the outgoing to the incoming.
Great move Mr President! We look forward to more of the same.
The newly elected All Peoples Congress announced the first part of its cabinet on Monday, 8th October 2007. Many claim that this is the first time that a cabinet is being announced piece meal. The following 10 have been appointed - Presidential Affairs Minister is Alhaji Alpha Kanu; Minister of Housing and Works is David Saad; Minister of Mines and Marine Resources is Alhaji Abubakar Jalloh; Attorney General and Minister of Justice is Honourable Serry Kamal; Minister of Health and Sanitation is Dr Soko Kabia; Minister of Information and Communications is Alhaji Ibrahim Ben Kargbo; Minister of Finance is David Carew formerly of KPMG Sierra Leone; Minister of Foreign Affairs is Zainab Bangura; Minister of Agriculture and Food Security is Dr Sam Sesay.
Share your thoughts on these appointments.
On another note, the President has been going to church and joining in hearty praise with the people. Interesting!
Very interesting. We can only pray that this transition goes smoothly.
