Sierra Leone’s Information and Broadcasting Minister, has called on Sierra Leoneans and friends of Sierra Leone to support the Trade and Investment conference to be organised by his government in London on 18th and 19th November, this year.
Alhaji Ibrahim Ben Kargbo, who was speaking this morning on Ben Television – one of the most renowned African television networks in the United Kingdom, said his government is determined to change the lives of the people of Sierra Leone.
Kargbo said the conference will be an opportunity for the country to showcase what it has to offer and what development partners will also have to offer the country.
“To us, this is very very important and we are doing everything possible to change the lives of our people,” the Minister said.
He spoke on government’s decentralisation process with several activities going on in the provinces – hotels being built upcountry, conferences being held upcountry and investors moving upcountry to invest in business.
“I am inviting you now to come over to Bo, Kenema, Kono and Makeni where we have now one of the most ideal hotels in the country – all these were not there over the past five years,” the Minister said in response to a caller who had wanted to know what the government was doing in decentralising national programmes.
The Information Minister said that President Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma, would be presenting his Agenda for Change – the Poverty Reduction Strategy for Sierra Leone during the conference.
He said he is aware of the fact that tourism is a very important potential for development in Sierra Leone and that his government is encouraging as many people as possible to utilise this opportunity.
“We are a determined government, we are a determined people this time around and we want to remove Sierra Leone from the economic morals of the past to make it model in Africa,” he said.
Kargbo later met with the executive of the All People’s Congress later that evening before travelling back to Freetown the following Tuesday.
