President Koroma on Track to Make Sierra Leone Self-Sufficient in Food Production
The so-called Action Aid scorecard, which unfairly rated President Ernest Koroma and government’s performances with regards to Food Security, used criteria that only the so-called evaluators understood. With such an unrealistic scorecard, they must have suddenly materialized on this planet from outer space , where they were ignorant of what was going on in Sierra Leone. To insinuate that the government was not doing enough to feed its people. was an outrageous accusation that only ignorant ppeople would make.
While we acknowledge the socio-economic woes of the people, which cannot be blamed on a still relatively new administration, we will attempt to educate them about the reality of the situation by reproducing two articles about President Ernest Koroma’s Food Security plan which demonstrate that the government is working acidiously to make Sierra Leone self-sufficient in food production within a short time .The government has not gone to sleep.With time, the modalities will begin to bear rich fruits in the nationand hunger will be ameliorated .
