Yesterday there were reports that an opposition politician – Mohamed Kamaraimba (Photo), had been arrested by the police, following comments he is thought to have made on radio, criticising president Bio and his government for the implementation of policies many describe as inimical to the country’s liberal democracy.
But the police have denied the report, saying that Mr Kamaraimba was not arrested but invited for interview at the CID.
In response to accusations of political intimidation and stifling of democratic freedoms, a senior ruling SLPP party official told the Sierra Leone Telegraph that “the opposition APC are determined to cripple and bring down the SLPP government. They are refusing to accept defeat at the polls”.
In a press statement issued yesterday this is what Cornelius Deveaux – the National Publicity Secretary of the opposition APC said:
“The All Peoples Congress is inviting the media, civil society organizations and the diplomatic corps to a Press Conference, commencing at 15:00 hours, tomorrow Monday July 23, 2018, at the party HQ, Old Railway Line, Brookfield, Freetown, to present the party’s independent assessment of the first 100 days of the ruling SLPP government of President Julius Maada Bio.
