The saga of an Electric Fish
When she was first selected the head of electric Sierra Leone almost all Sierra Leone was as dark as a graveyard in a third world country She electrified us with cables that cost thirty two million dollars  The lights began to brighten the city and the lives of the people that have known a dark city for a long time until the Bumbuna-conscious benefactor of hers mounted the seat of power  He promised electrified Sierra Leone because it is good for business atmosphere And his aim is to rule Mama Salone nation like a business man She and her benefactor blew their own trumpet for the fruitful commissioning of the Bumbuna hydro-electricity  But like the cat that jumped over the moon, the Bumbuna jumped over Bumbuna City and landed in Western Freetown and some parts of Eastern Freetown  Whilst the lights lit the dark city and our lives  new light was shed on the life of the electric woman as people began to doubt the way the 32 million dollars was electrocuted  In every hooks and nooks of Salone she became a seemingly hero who jettisoned such a large sum of money in the LITTLE SCARCIES But her boss never heeded the clamour of condemnation of his disciple Instead he made her the head of all fishes in Sierra Leone  She fattened the fishes in the water with draconian regulations that did not please the fishers in the business  She became an electric fish in the eyes of the world because she made a lot of money for her boss Something which was blindly and ‘bluntly’  projected by a section of the media  She knew little that a watch dog was watching her steps and missteps and maybe sidesteps The watch-dog had reasonable suspicion that her books were not in order which warranted an indictment  Her benefactor relieved her of her duties But she remained innocent until she is proved guilty  Is she going to be found guilty or will she be APCified?Â
