U.S. Ambassador to Sierra Leone, Bryan Hunt, has been hailed as one of the best foreign ambassadors in the country by Kabs Kanu. Kanu recognizes Ambassador Hunt’s understanding of the issues at hand, his fair articulation of them, and his unbiased approach to solving them. In a recent interview with Epic Radio 99.3 FM, Ambassador Hunt discussed the work of the Tripartite Committee, which aims to bring about political and electoral reforms in Sierra Leone.
During the interview, Ambassador Hunt highlighted the importance of considering the people of Sierra Leone and their desires in the decisions made by the Committee. He also mentioned that legal and legislative reforms would be part of the process, and that individuals involved in election theft, such as Konneh, would be held accountable. This news excites Kanu, who sees it as a positive step towards addressing corruption and ensuring fair elections in the future.
Additionally, Ambassador Hunt addressed the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) U.S. $500 million Compact issue, emphasizing that progress must be made in implementing recommendations before the funds are released. He stressed the need for significant progress in political and electoral reforms before financial support can be provided.
Kanu believes that the fate of Sierra Leone lies in the hands of the APC and its members, who must prioritize the national interest over personal ambitions. He urges the APC to remain steadfast and not be swayed by bribery or manipulation, particularly in light of the potential reforms being proposed by the Tripartite Committee. Kanu sees this as an opportunity for positive change and urges the opposition and the populace to take ownership of the process.
Furthermore, Kanu expresses his admiration for Ambassador Hunt and calls for his continued presence in Sierra Leone to oversee the implementation of reforms. He believes Ambassador Hunt’s honesty and integrity make him an invaluable asset to the country and a beacon of hope for Sierra Leoneans.
In conclusion, Kanu is optimistic about the potential impact of the Tripartite Committee and the leadership of Ambassador Hunt in bringing about much-needed political and electoral reforms in Sierra Leone. He urges all stakeholders to remain committed to the process and prioritize the national interest above all else. With dedicated leadership and unwavering determination, Sierra Leone can pave the way for a brighter future.
