Not too long ago I listened to a radio program on ‘True Talk Radio’ by one Mr. David Michael, cautioning both Dr Richard Konteh and Dr Kaifala Marrah to be mindful about the praises they are showering on them in respect of the ongoing Tripartite. He described such praises as a bate to destroy their political career. I initially cast doubt over Mr. Michael’s view for the simple reason that the committee is doing very well by updating the leadership and the general membership of the party about every step of their activities. But considering the spate of the ongoing bad press against the person of Dr Richard Konteh, I have no sound reason to hold a contrary view with what Mr. David Michael aired on his radio program.  But for clarity and objective purposes, I’m tempted to ask the following questions and these questions are directed to particularly Mr. ATM Machine and Mr. Cashbox, the lead campaigners;

1) Can you help present to the public the Terms of Reference (ToR) of this ongoing Tripartite Committee? (I mean the ToR signed by the 7 members of the Committee representing the APC and the APC party).

2) Can you tell the public what aspects of the TOR that any of these members have flouted?

3) Does the TOR of this Tripartite Committee expressly state that any member of the Committee should automatically put a stop to whatever activity he or she has been embarking on over the years?

4) What aspect of the TOR of the Tripartite Committee that has not been executed by the Committee members?

5) Is there any evidence that any of this Committee members has visited or received a bribe from President Bio?

6) What this Committee really supposed to have done that has not done yet since the commencement of their work?

With these answers, I think the public will better be placed to know whether these bloggers ( ATM & Cashbox) are fighting a genuine course or as Mr. David Michael put it in one of his radio programs that the Tripartite is a deliberate ploy to damage the political career of both Dr Richard Konteh and Dr Kaifala Marrah hence cautioning them to be very much mindful about what they perceived as genuine praise.

To be honest, from the evidence that these bloggers have so far presented to be public, I have not seen non that has convinced me to believe that these people are undermining the work of the Tripartite. If Dr Richard Konteh engages with his members across the globe, how does that undermine the work of the Tripartite? Is Dr Richard Konteh the only member representing the APC party in that Committee? Or is he the head of that Committee? So how can he alone undermine the Committee?

Why can’t we be reasonable enough with some of our judgments? How can an outstanding former flag bearer Dr Richard Konteh who has long been regularly meeting with his members across globe,  automatically stop engaging with them all in the name of Tripartite Committee?

We are curiously waiting for answers to the above questions or else we will open the Pandora”s box to tell the public the very people that have undermined the APC with clear evidence. Lonta!
