The decision of the main opposition All People’s Congress – APC, restraining their Members of Parliament elect not to participate in the governance structure is causing tears rolling down the chicks of APC-MPs elect. Considering their huge financial involvements in earning the party’s symbols, prior, during and even after the campaigns good number of them are now crying in silence for being deprived of their first ever opportunity to serve as MPs.

An APC MP elect from Port Loko District – name witheld told this writer that as a landowner family, in consultation with family members, he took the family land documents as collateral for a loan in one of the commercial banks and financed his political campaigns in the June 24 polls.

He said a payment plan was developed to guide the payment of the said loan. The APC MP elect looks much worried that the date for the first set of payments is ticking without any clear signs as to whether the APC party will make a rethink and allow them to represent their people and districts.

Considering the huge amount of loan and the occupation of the opposition lawmaker in ordinary life, he confessed,

“I can’t afford to pay the agreed amount as stipulated in the loan payment memorandum signed with the bank”.

And thus charged an angry mood saying,

“I have started consulting with elderly APC party politicians for their advises on the controversial political situation because I cannot afford forfeiting our family lands because of political loyalty”, he said.

By the look of things, the lawmaker in question can no longer continue to jeopardize the future of the unborn family to land access at the expense of political loyalty.

Public discuss weeks back on various traditional and social media platforms have served as eye-openers as to who APC-MPs elect are really in the governance structure of Sierra Leone.
