Soriba said it is a very good initiative especially when it is prioritized by the Government adding, ‘’My role as a legislator is to supervise and oversee both primary and secondary schools through engagement with headmasters and principals to ensure that the Free Quality Education succeeded. He spoke on the important for Government to increase classrooms because he said; it is difficult to control pupils in a congested classroom.

He spoke about the ten million Leones he provided for the completion of a water dam project and facilitated vehicle license and Okada riders to reduce idleness among young people. He called on Government to encourage investors to create employment for the active population. He said to break the adage ‘D Gron Dry’ there should be a national cohesion by bringing all political parties together to fully participate in the process and stressed that national cohesion could not be called where human rights violation and political intimidation have taken over the country. He said reinstating former President Ernest Bai Koroma’s security is not only headway to national cohesion but Government would also succeed to achieve its goal. However, the lawmaker said the Leader and Chairman of the main opposition; All Peoples Congress is comfortable without state security. He discussed that former Vice President Victor Bockarie Foh’s security and Joe Demby still maintain their original state security while Ex-President Koroma’s state security removed.
