Former State Media Director Convicted of Corruption

Though he may have paid the Le 5 million fine, the stigma hanging over Rev. Joseph Kashope Wellington, Former Acting Director of the Sierra Leone Broadcasting Service (SLBS) having been found guilt of Misappropriation of Public Funds contrary to section 12 (1) of the Anti-Corruption Act 2000, would dent his image for life and question the veracity of his religious manifestations.

 

 He was convicted on a one count charge of misappropriation of public funds and sentenced to five years imprisonment or an alternative fine of Le. 5 million ($1666). The former Accountant Madonna Drusilla Cole was also found guilty of the same charge and sentenced to two years or an alternative fine of Le. 3 million ($1000) 

 

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) accused the two of misappropriating Le63 million ($22,000) which the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) paid as rent for the use of SLBS facilities at Leicester peak and other sites in the country. It was alleged that the money was paid in dollars directly to Kashope Wellington and he converted it into local leones which he and the accountant misappropriated. 

The presiding judge, Justice Nicholas Brown- Marke of the High Court of Sierra Leone found them guilt, and even ordered prosecution witness Alimamy Mansaray who was moved from the position of deputy secretary in the information  ministry  then and now Director of Human Resource to immediately refund to the SLBS the sum of Le. 30 million ($10,000) he admitted in his testimony to have received from Kashope Wellington. 

 

The judgment has expanded Mr. Wellington’s disgrace. SLBS workers called for his sacking and he was dragged out of the position with molestation. His conviction thus proves right those who, in 2007 called for him to be rooted out of office.

these 2 people squandered $22,000 and they were on fined $1666+$1000.
Who is paying the balance and what is really the consequence on this matter.
Is
this justice to the poor people?

There are new cheap ed hardy stores in New York, Los Angeles, Tucson and Dubai. But ed hardy for women here. That $20 million-a-year business, is the handiwork of French-born marketing ace
ed hardy board shorts, who pushed the Von Dutch brand and now has everybody from Madonna to Larry King draped in ed hardy. It's a pleasing turn of events for an ed hardy outlet, who made his bones tattooing daggered hearts and anchors on sailors in San Diego in the raffish old days before body art became
respectable. Now it almost seems as if there's a Starbucks and a ed hardy shoes parlor on every corner. You can find an ed hardy teeand ed hardy swimwear everywhere.
