According to Joe Magee‘s ‘Personal History of Corruption’, corrupt practices started from the period of Adam and Eve, the first human beings on earth. Magee traced this in Genesis, the first chapter of the Holy Bible when Adam and Eve defied God who had earlier asked them not to touch the “Tree of Knowledge” in the Garden of Eden. For Magee, “God’s human prototypes were created inherently corrupt and placed in a landscape primed to be corrupted.”
Giving an Islamic account of corruption, Dr. Syed Othman Alhabshi, Deputy Director General of the Institute of Islamic Understanding in Malaysia, writes in his article, “Definition of Bribery According to Islam” that the Holy Prophet of Islam was once very upset and even rebuked one of his followers who committed a corrupt practice by saying to him, “What right have you to put aside something that does not belong to you”. Continue reading The Fight against Corruption is a Divine Work

Sadly, the APC government even though after its first term of office can boast of having succeeded in numerous developmental strides, it would not shout louder when it comes to the issue of education, would it? Although it had started dwindling from the past decades, education standards in Sierra Leone witnessed one of the worst declines during the past five years of the APC stewardship.
One would not hold the Koroma administration to ransom for this unfortunate development, but as it has happened that the APC government has reemerged as the runner of the country’s affairs for yet another five years, I think it’s high time we raise this issue vociferously and pile pressure robustly to see that the education sector is on a better direction, if not the best. Continue reading We need more goals from the ‘World Best’ to win the match against falling education standards in Sierra Leone!
