COMMENT ON ARTICLE-THE NEW PATH TO PUBLIC SERVICE

The new path to public servicewritten by Fenthi, July 12, 2009
There are some of us that are almost getting tired of these theoretical outlays of Sierra Leone's shortcomings.Sierra Leone will never develop or significantly improve on its present poor standing in development with the help of appeals alone. A country where corruption is almost becoming a religion, especially in the civil service, and for that matter in all works of life, can not just make it in the pace of time we would have wished for our country. Some bit of a radical leadership is really needed. The anti- corruption commission should be given more teeth, should be supported by a well paid, two to thee tier system of an anti corruption inteligence sevice that can lead to the implimentation of clearly visible purnishments as deterrents. This is what the Government of Flt. Lt. J.J. Rollings instituted during the PNDC and NDC days in Ghana, the result of which is one of the reasons why President Obama decided to select Ghana for his first Sub-saharan african visit as USA president. Our opposition should learn that after loosing an election, constructive opposition and cooperation with the ruling government in achieving clearly set goals towards achieving national development is what is necessary and not a total determination to make fruitful governance difficult and almost impossible through defamation, blackmail and sabotage.This is not the stable democracy the US President mentioned in Accra. A President Obama will definitely never select an african country for his next visit, where all these characteristics are prevailent.
