APC ace in the Pujehun District and Deputy Minister of Employment and Social Security Moijueh Kai Kai has hit at the opposition Sierra Leone People\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Party as full of thuggery, bigotry and political intolerance and\u00c2\u00a0 intimidation; a trait he asserted that has lived with the party since its formation.<\/p>\n
The Minister made this statement in reaction to incidents of political intimidation that are claimed to have occurred in the recently concluded Parliamentary Bye Election in Pujehun where claims and counter claims of the perpetration of political violence was said to have been triggered by both parties in a bid to clinching the vacancy that occurred in Tower Hill due to the death of the member of Parliament that represented the fought over constituency.<\/p>\n
The Deputy Minister of Labour chronicled the reason for the skirmish as being the intolerant tendency of the SLPP in always asserting themselves to be the masters of the political territories of the South and East and that any other party that goes there to canvas is seen as an invasion of the SLPP territory. The situation he said has led to the political divide the country has suffered for a very long time now and must not be allowed to continue to enslave the democratic and socio-political development of the nation.<\/p>\n
He reasoned that: \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWhy did this not happen in Sander and other places in the North where bye elections have successfully been conducted\u00c2\u00a0 with all political parties given the free will to campaign, as all of us are Sierra Leoneans and must be given the freewill to go wherever we want as part of our fundamental freedom of movement.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p>\n
He made it entirely clear that the problem with the SLPP is that they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to accept being in opposition, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153they are used to lording things over people, asserting themselves everywhere and on everything; as such, they really cannot countenance the fact that they have lost such powers and must awake to the reality that there are other players in the game,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d the Minister noted.<\/p>\n
The APC is a very peaceful party and it is our duty as government of the day to ensure that the right thing happens, no matter who is involved; the APC man told Sierra Express Media.<\/p>\n
