Part 3
Amidst all the confusion and accusations of fraudulent transactions resulting in the repossession of ‘State Land’, shrouded in controversy, many Sierra Leoneans are wondering why the current Lands Minister, Dr. Turad Senesie, is still in that office. Many are of the view that President Julius Maada Bio should have showed him the exit door long before now. Allowing him to still be at the helm of affairs after creating so much confusion on the land dispute, is the same as compounding the problems of land in the country.
Since his appointment to that office, Dr. Turad Senesie has been stepping on toes. There are complaints from the public about how the Ministry of Lands, under his watch and instructions, has been using a covert strategy under the guise of “Land Reclamation ” to illegally take possession of private lands.
The issue has become unbearable, to the extent that people no longer believe in the leadership of Dr. Turad Senesie. Sierra Leoneans at home and in the Diaspora have been complaining about the ungodly way he has been doing things, which are inimical and suggestive of Satanic. If not removed from that Ministry, there is a likelihood that Sierra Leoneans may be forced into taking the law into their own hands. Under the watch and leadership of Dr Turad Senesie, private properties in areas such as Tokeh, Angola Town, etc have been illegally taken from them leaving them in pain. The Ministry has embarked on a strategy to illegally take private lands under the guise of reclaiming state lands.
It appears that there are significant concerns and grievances regarding Dr Turad Senesie’s continued tenure as the Lands Minister in Sierra Leone. The frustrations expressed by the public seem to revolve around allegations of misconduct and abuse of power under his leadership.
The primary issue highlighted in the article is the alleged misuse of authority by the Ministry of Lands, particularly under Dr. Senesie’s supervision. The accusation of employing covert strategies like “Land Reclamation” to illegally confiscate private lands is a serious concern that could have far-reaching consequences on the welfare and rights of individuals owning property in the affected areas.
The dissatisfaction expressed by both local Sierra Leoneans and members of the diaspora, suggests a lack of confidence in Dr. Senesie’s leadership and decisions. The emotive language used, describing his actions as ungodly and likening them to those of Satan, reflects the depth of frustration and anger felt by those affected by the alleged land grabbing.
Furthermore, the mention of potential vigilantism and a breakdown of law and order, if Dr Senesie is not removed from this position, points to a significant level of community distress and potential social unrest if the situation remains unresolved.
In summary, the concerns raised in the article point towards a pressing need for transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct within the Ministry of Lands. Addressing these grievances and ensuring that justice is served is essential to restoring public trust and maintaining social harmony in Sierra Leone.
