MP accuses Paramount Chief of embezzlement

The Paramount Chief of Gbo Chiefdom, P.C. Tutu Fawundu and P.C. Desmond Kagobai of Selenga Chiefdom both in the Bo District, have come under scathing attack by the Member of Parliament for Constituency 77, Hon. Paul Kamara for alleged misappropriation of nineteen bundles of corrugated iron zinc. The zinc was meant for the construction of a quarter for the Health Centre at Baima town and a school building for Gualla village in the Gbo Chiefdom, together with five bundles meant for another building project for Dambala, the chiefdom headquarter town of Selenga Chiefdom .
Speaking in a radio broadcast over Radio KISS 104 FM in Bo, Hon. Paul Kamara said that out of the nineteen bundles in question, seven bundles each were for the School and the quarter for the Health Centre in the two towns in Gbo Chiefdom, while the remaining five bundles were meant for the building work in Selenga Chiefdom, all respectively entrusted to each of the two Paramount Chiefs in question.
Explaining further, Hon. Paul Kamara expressed deep disappointment over the alleged misuse of the zinc, and that all efforts made to get the two Chiefs produce the items, have failed and called for an intensive investigation.
He described the practice on the part of the Paramount Chiefs as a calculated ploy to sabotage his good intention to contribute meaningfully to the development in his Constituency which, he stated, is in dire need of infrastructural development.
He therefore promised to do all in his power to let the Chiefs produce the nine bundles of zinc
Speaking to Awoko News, P.C. Kagobai of Selenga Chiefdom was quick to dismiss the PMDC Member of Parliament and further promised to call up a joint Press Conference together with P.C. Tutu Fawundu of Gbo Chiefdom, with the view of explaining the entire accusation and above all to properly throw light on the
whole issue.
There has been no independent verification of the above accusation except that various people spoken to say the rift between the Paramount Chiefs and the MP for Constituency 77 is not good to write home about which analysts say is not good for the development of war-torn chiefdoms, and henceforth called for an end to the hostilities.

Paramount and Town Chiefs clash over mining site

Town and Section Chiefs, Chiefdom Speakers and Elders have unanimously agreed to depose the Town Chief of Gbojeima Town in the Simbaru Chiefdom Kenema District, Chief Mohamed Kortuwa at a Chiefdom meeting held at the Court Barry in Boajibu Town on Monday 27th June 2011.
The meeting came about as a result of a dispute between the Paramount Chief of Simbaru chiefdom, P.C. Mamie G. Gamanga and one of her Town Chiefs, Mohamed Kortuwa of Gbojeima Town over the Sewa River bed for mining purpose.
The present ugly development in the Chiefdom has given cause to the Chiefs and other Chiefdom authorities throwing their weight behind the Paramount Chief in the matter, maintaining that the Sewa River bed belongs to the Paramount Chief as custodian of the Chiefdom who has the power to authorize any mining activity along the Sewa River in her Chiefdom.
In the meeting held at the Court Barry in Simbaru Chiefdom, several reasons were given by the Chiefdom authorities as a yardstick for disposing the Town Chief.
A chiefdom authority, Bockarie Koroma, maintained that the Town Chief, Mohamed Kortuwa, went on the media and made several allegations against the Paramount Chief without any justification.
The Paramount Chief of Simbaru Chiefdom, Madam Mamie Gamanga, while reacting to the allegations to the press said all the issues raised by the Town Chief Mohamed Kortuwa are absolutely incorrect.
She revealed that a special committee has been formed in her Chiefdom to ensure the eradication of illicit mining in the Chiefdom and to ensure the efficient utilization of the Chiefdom Fund so that all in the chiefdom will benefit.
Chief Mohamed Kortuwa, the Town Chief of Gbojeima Town who was deposed in absentia, could not be reached at the time of writing this report for his reaction.
