In a bid to dispel recent allegations of monopolizing the Rail and Port operations in Sierra Leone, Leone Rock Metal Group (LRMG), the parent company of Kingho Railway and Port and Kingho Mining Company, has stepped forward to set the record straight. The company assures Sierra Leoneans that it is committed to creating a level playing field by opening up the Rail for multi-user access.

Salim Sillah, the Chief Technical Officer representing LRMG, has repeatedly advocated for cooperation with other businesses, urging them to sign agreements to utilize the Rail. To demonstrate their dedication to collaboration, LRMG has already signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with CTC ensuring smooth operations and fostering a vibrant mining industry in Sierra Leone.

LRMG emphasizes that its objective is not to monopolize the sector but to revamp and develop the mining industry in partnership with other mining companies. The company asserts its readiness to engage with the Government of Sierra Leone and its people, affirming its commitment to transparent and mutually beneficial collaboration as always.

As Sierra Leone continues its journey towards economic growth and development, it is imperative that accurate information prevails and misinformation comes to a halt. Leone Rock Metal Group (LRMG) invites all stakeholders to embrace a spirit of cooperation, paving the way for a thriving mining sector and a prosperous future for Sierra Leone.

The National Programme Coordinator of FQSE, Augustine Moses Tehguma Koroma, has urged parents and guardians to consider requests for payment of fees from school authorities as acts of extortion.
The National Programme Coordinator urged parents and guardians to report to the Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education (MBSSE) or the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) any cases of extortion involving school authorities.
He therefore warned sternly against the act of demanding or taking monies from parents or guardians for admission or enrolment of their kids or wards.
In another development, the Free Quality School Education Secretariat of the Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education has informed the general public that the Free Quality School Education (FQSE) is still a flagship project of the Government of President Julius Maada Bio.
This rebuttal comes following wild rumours doing the rounds on social media suggesting that the FQSE has ceased to be a flagship project and that it no longer attracts budgetary allocations and the support it used to get from development partners.
According to Mr. Koroma, “The Government of Sierra Leone (GoSL) remains unwavering in its commitment to fully supporting the scheme and all its ancillary components.”

The National Commission for Social Action (NaCSA) under the Sierra Leone Community Driven Development Project (SLCDDP II) last Thursday 5th October, 2023 trained engineers of its prospective contractors for the construction of water irrigation and harvesting (dam system) for Bolilands conservation infrastructures held at the Commission’s conference room at Charlotte Street, Freetown. The project seeks to identify the potential public irrigation infrastructure that can be developed for the benefit of farmers. The focus in this area will be on public infrastructure built on a watershed basis to be managed by water users and farmer groups. Speaking at the opening ceremony of the training, NaCSA Deputy Commissioner, Jimmy Batilo Songa, congratulated the prospective winners of the bid for the construction of the dam system to aid agricultural productivity throughout the year. The Deputy Commissioner however admonished the contractors to work in the interest of the citizens and actualize one of His Excellency President Julius Maada Bio’s Five Big Changers - Feed Salone - through agriculture. Mr. Songa disclosed that the SLCDDP II will come to an end on 18th April, 2024 and that the solar panel irrigated dam system construction is a sub project to enable crop cultivation right through the year. SLCDDP II Project Manager, Momoh Juana, underscored the importance of the training of contractors’ engineers, pointing out that the project is highly technical and the engineers are required to ask all the pertinent questions relating to the dam system construction. He said SLCDDP II is a project funded by Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) for a five-year period and that the livelihood and economic infrastructure irrigation development is one of the components of the project. Mr. Juana furthered that the project is very important for enhancing food security and developing the livelihood of the communities. He told the contractors that there is exigency of time to complete the project on record time without failure as an option, adding that the first tranche of payment has been made to prospective contractors to commence work at once because the project is critical to the Government of Sierra Leone (GoSL) to reduce rice importation in the country.
