FAO Eddi Mavy: SLPP VS JULIUS MAADA BIO, SEEKING JUSTICE FOR SIERRA LEONE TAX PAYERS WHO WERE ROBBED OF THEIR MONIES THROUGH BOGUS CONTRACT. What was most revealing and shocking in ex-president Kabbah’s speech was when he explained that another instance of reckless and irresponsible manner in which the affairs of the state were conducted by the NPRC regime is the granting of a general Power of Attorney to Steven Bio, the brother of the erstwhile Head of State and Government, to conclude all and any defence and military contracts anywhere in the world and at his sole discretion, as the accredited agent of Government of Sierra Leone and emphasized that by virtue of such unusual authority, Steven Bio concluded a number of contracts running into tens of millions of dollars “There is no evidence that most of those contracts have been performed, but Steven Bio has already been paid millions of dollars on them and he is claiming further amounts as arrears of payments. Further, ex-president went on, “In his capacity as Chairman of the NPRC, Brigadier J.M.Bio himself on 1st February 1996, few days before he left office, caused the Government to pay into the account of his private firm, P BANGA INVESTMENT LIMITED the sum of Le235,000,000 in respect of contracts that the firm had purportedly entered into with Government for the supply of spare parts for the replacement of helicopter engines which did not belong to Government. Incidentally, ex-president Kabbah said, it was into the account of this same firm in the Channel Islands that Brigadier Bio paid his own share of US$400.000 from the purported passport deal which was dissolved recently and concluded by saying “There are many more such contracts involving other former top NPRC members as well as their relatives and other associates and some of these individuals are now suspects in the second coup attempt and are fugitives from justice” It would be recalled that Mr. Ahmad Tejan Kabbah was a two-term president and ruled Sierra Leone from 1996 to 2007. During his reign his Government suffered several setbacks, but was able to overcome them due to his perseverance and determination. One of his Principal advisers was Dr. Sama Banya, commonly known as Puawui the current pen pusher and Chief propagandist of the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP). At the time ex-president Kabbah made these revelations at the Government Wharf; Dr. Sama Banya was with him, but did not counter a word from the ex-president Responses to Former President Kabbah in Sierra Leone exposes SLPP Mada Bio in US$400,000 Deal Ydriss Bangura August 18, 2011 at 10:26 pm UNBELIEVABLE!!!! This is a shame to SLPP. Was any vetting of Maada Bio even done in the first place?
