President Ernest Koroma: The march of victory
The All People’s Congress (APC ) Government, led by President Koroma, is cognizant of the fact that transportation is a fundamental component of the expeditious transfer of food products, goods and services throughout the country. The government is aware that good roads will boost commercial activities and stimulate socio-economic and political development; furthermore, when a country has a magnificent road network system, the quality of life of the people is improved. Commuting becomes easier for the citizens and even the lives of vehicles plying the good roads become lengthened. The government’s infrastructural and road development projects which are contained in President Koroma’s Agenda For Change are therefore designed to spur socio-economic and political development and improve the lives of the people.
As construction works on the Freetown/Conakry Highway, and the Kenema-Koindu Road gain pace and the Freetown Peninsular Highway takes shape, work will soon start on the ambitious Hill-Side road which will significantly reduce the traffic jams in the city. It will be a by-pass road that will start from Blackhall Road, winding through the hilly expanse of Ginger Hall, Mount Aureol and ending at the junction of Pademba Road. The road, along with the Peninsular Highway, will boost commerce, movement of people and tourism in the city and the country.
President Ernest Koroma is thus a blessing to Sierra Leone. Through his many development projects he has restored the pride of the Sierra Leonean people and provided hope that Sierra Leone is not a lost cause after all.
Talking to many Sierra Leoneans in New York, Washington DC, California and New Jesey at the weekend, this writer had an earful of the sentiments of appreciation for President Koroma  being expressed by citizens of the country all over the world. Though some disaffected people are using the internet to promote negativity and spread fear and apprehension about life in Sierra Leone, the truth continues to slap them in the face that Sierra Leone, under President Ernest Koroma, is moving on to become one of the most progressive countries in Africa. For once, donor money and national funds are being put into good use in Sierra Leone.
The world economic meltdown is wreaking havoc on the economic well-being of people all over the world, even in the industrialized nations like the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and Asia. Sierra Leone is no exception, AND those trying to use our economic problems to underplay the achievements of the present government are further thwarted by the fact that whatever economic problems bedevil them today, Sierra Leoneans are hopeful that there is now a silver lining in the cloud with President Koroma’s socio-economic and political reforms, backed by more positive signs like the resumption of mining activities all over the country.
A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step .Sierra Leone, under President Ernest Koroma, has taken that one step. By the time President Koroma completes his second term, Sierra Leone would have marched to the commendable heights of social, economic and political advancement.
