Sierra Leone Gist: David Tam Bayor Writes His Fans

David-Tam-Baryoh

Some of you might have heard of David Tam Bayor is the anchor for the popular program  "The  Good Governance Program" called "Monologue". In his program, he address issues affecting Sierra Leoneans be it political or otherwise. He has quite an audience who enjoys his program and applauds his good work. Read below what he has to tell  his fans.




 My fans across the world,  especially those who often listen to my radio show: the Good Governance program, the Monologue,  have been inundating me with text/sapp messages as to my whereabouts and whether I have stopped the program without notifying them.
Actually, on the 2nd anniversary of my incalciration (3rd November,  2014), at the Freetown maximum security prison by government authorities in Sierra Leone...on grounds that I warned them against the undisturbed misuse of the Ebola funds, and d dangerous negative effects of the enimical activities of a panel of political kindagathens arounf the president, I left the Freetown Lungi International airport on that fine--Sierra Leonean sunny day; 3rd Nov. 2016, for Abuja,  Nigeria. At least I spent my anniversary jailed-day in the African sky, en route first to Abuja, and then to Benin, Accra, Rabat and now in Dakar-going around with the sacked,  but legitimately elected vice president of Sierra Leone; VP, Alhaji, Abubakarr Sidikie Sahr Samsumana, aka, 'the last hope' for Sierra Leone. It's unfortunate,  I cannot join VP Samsumana in the rest of his official visits to other countries,  such as South Africa,  Liberia,  Burkina Faso and Mali. In my two weeks stay away from Freetown, I have been able to meet with officials at the Ecowas secretariat and peeped into the Ecowas court to know how exactly it functions as an international court of jurisdiction. Meeting and talking with Samsumana's
Two lawyers is an excellent experience I can recommend to any journalist of substance in the world. All being equal,  and despite what some small minds are saying in Freetown,  example,  "that the Ecowas court does not have jurisdiction in/ over Sierra Leone' and that 'its verdict cannot be obeyed in Sierra Leone",  I honestly and personally think that disgrace,  embarrassment and a Hussein Harbre (Chad) situation can be avoided if only president Ernest Bai Koroma decides to move away from the myopic and underdeveloped ideas being forced on him by some of his people around him.
Nevertheless,  here I come to Freetown;  to do my radio show, the Good governance program,  called MONOLOGUE. If you know what I know...!
You would say, "HMMMM, THERE IS A SIERRA LEONEAN CALLED S-A-M-S-U-M-A-N-A!
On issues of Sierra Leone,  we have to be truthful, but we cannot be neutral,  much so,  when the country is at a crossroad!

Dr. David Tam-Baryoh
