EXCLUSIVE!! - Cabinet Minister in Ebola Rice Italian Scam: An AWARENESS TIMES Investigative Report Government of Sierra Leone under leadership of President Ernest Koroma, announced to the World, special bank accounts into which all monies meant for combating Ebola, should be paid either in leones or in foreign exchange. However, investigations by this press reveals that a Cabinet Minister appointed by President Koroma (name withheld for now) whilst still in office, had been collecting funds from Italy in the name of fighting Ebola in Sierra Leone but operating under a different private bank account held at a Milan-based bank in the name of a non-profit group. The bank account at Italy’s BANK ETHICS with number-IT33T0501801600000000132970 and operated with blessings of this Cabinet Minister, is the hub into which cash supposedly meant to alleviate Ebola suffering in Sierra Leone, is being sent and withdrawn from to be redistributed. The monies, collected from various Donors in Italy, have been presented to Italians as having been used for a project named; “RICE FOR SIERRA LEONE”. Investigations have listed Italy charities like “Source of Hope Onlus”, “Abarekà Nandree Onlus”, “ViteIntorno Onlus “, “Fiba Cisl ‘Pisa’ Auser” and “Together we can” as haven all been donating quite a lot of cash which monies were then used by the Minister; ostensibly to feed or help only those Sierra Leoneans supposedly dying from Ebola. According to our credible research, the Sierra Leone Government operated Ebola Bank accounts were by-passed by this Cabinet Minister and monies collected in Italy were never paid into this government account announced by President Koroma. Sources indicate first tranche of money he received was 25,000 Euros (~150 million leones). Documents seen may show the Cabinet Minister wrote to the Italians again on November 11th 2014, requesting more money thus: Dear friends, thank you for the sensitivity shown once again and for the prompt response to call for rice. I inform you that with funds received, Im getting the rice and continue to distribute supplies of rice in villages of the 11 municipalities of the Region of Koinadugu to families quarantined and to young people in checkpoints. The Cabinet Minister also wrote letters in Italian language signing off bottom, as a “Minister of the Government of Sierra Leone”, to Italian donors from who he requested funds. This caused even more money to be collected and sent to this Cabinet Minister. However, whether the Minister did it all without any knowledge of those around the Presidency is not known. It is unclear to which extent certain unscrupulous persons around State House were involved in knowledge of the rather questionable activities of this Cabinet Minister but reports allege a soft exit landing has been prepared and the Cabinet Minister might escape anti-corruption commission perusal.
