Treating Sierra Leone with Levity: The Case of Fake Ebola Numbers under our International Partners Eyes By Dr. Sylvia Olayinka Blyden, (Officer of Order of the Rokel) If we are to believe the words of Abdulai Bayraytay of the Office of the Government Spokesman, “an aircraft sent by the British” to fly President Koroma to a Donor’s Conference in London, “developed some problems” and actually broke down at Lungi Airport on October 1st 2014. According to my highly credible sources, President Koroma boarded the huge plane, fastened his seat belt and waited for a pleasant take-off. The pilot several times attempted to take off from the run-way but failed because the plane developed technical computer problems. Therefore, His Excellency the President and all his specially chosen aides accompanying him to London, had to clamber off the huge plane, go back into their black jeeps and drive back to be ferried across again to Freetown. Very disgraceful, I must add! One must also thank the Almighty that the aircraft did not develop these technical problems whilst up in the air but when it tried to take off. Can you imagine if the planes computers had failed whilst in mid-air? This is why one must wonder how safe really is our beloved President? Just few weeks back, it was a helicopter that lacked fuel to take the President thus forcing him to abort a trip to Kailahun. The very next day, the same helicopter developed technical problems forcing the President to once again abort another aerial trip to Freetown and instead drive down by road leaving the helicopter behind. Now, it is a plane sent for a whole Head of State, that develops technical problems on the run-way after the President had boarded it to fly out. Is our President safe? What kind of system is really being operated around our beloved President Koroma? Is it a functional system or a malfunctioning one? Food for thought!
