...No..w,
we note utterance of Alhaji Alpha Kanu against this newspaper up in
Parliament on August 14th. This is second time he is threatening us
with legal action over Ebola coverage. This time, he is threatening
under the guise of the State of Public Emergency. What a shameless
man!After he lies, he threatens to jail those who question his lies?
Unbelievable display of shameless bullying!
Now,
we would like Information Minister Alhaji Alpha Kanu to tell this
country whether any appeal was made to the wife of America’s
Vice-President, Dr. Jill Biden, during her last month visit, about
urgent need for the international community to help with Ebola Epidemic?
Did anyone raise Ebola assistance issue with Dr. Jill Biden? If not, is
it because it was being downplayed then?
Going by just one example of a local authority, the position of this newspaper is that it is sad to see Alpha Kanu & Health Minister Miatta Kargbo, continue to propagate under-reported figures of Ebola deaths in Sierra Leone.
Paramount
Chief of Jawei Chiefdom, P.C. Musa Ngoumbuklah Kallon II has handed
over to this newspaper a signed copy of number of Ebola deaths in his
chiefdom, including suspected and probable deaths. The number of
probable and suspected Ebola deaths in Jawei chiefdom alone, is in
excess of the insulting figures released by certain government officials as national totals.
The
editor of this newspaper hails from Jawei Chiefdom and has first hand
experience of how almost 200 deaths have affected his chiefdom people.
One of our parliamentary interns hails from Kissi Teng and also has
first hand experience of the high number of deaths in that Kissi area...
