Anti Corruption Commission Files 17 Count Charge Against Hon. Afsatu Kabba
The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) of Sierra Leone has, in an unexpected move, this morning filed a seventeen count charge against Fisheries Minister Hon. Haja Afsatu Kabba alleging that she solicited cash from a Chinese company named CNFC through Lilian Lisk of Okeky Agencies as well as alleging that she abused her office by employing her son and her other associates as Marine Protection Officers. None of the counts involve corruption of Government money. They are all alleging abuse of office and soliciting from Lilian Lisk. Hon. Afsatu Kabba has just been taken to court and should appear in front of Justice Nicholas Browne-Marke. An interesting aspect of the indictment is that it states that Afsatu Kabba did not sign to receive the alleged amounts but that Lilian Lisk signed on her behalf from the Chinese. Meanwhile, it has now emerged that Mr. Bashiru Konneh, one of the ACC's lead investigators of Afsatu Kabba has close ties to the country's shady FISH MAFIA. We will bring you more details soon.

Minister Afsatu Kabba’s Husband & Sons Allowed to go Home
Mr. Nfaji Kabba (snr), husband of Sierra Leone’s Fisheries Minister and his sons who were invited to the Anti Corruption Commission under Section 53(1) of the Anti Corruption Act of 2008 in the early hours of this morning, have returned home. Unlike the female Minister, they inform Awareness Times that they were not served Section 63(1) Notices which calls for them to produce sureties and hand over their passports. Meanwhile, the hounding of Hon. Afsatu Kabba has brought back bitter memories of how the late Gloria Newman Smart was treated by the Anti Corruption Commission which led to her death in 2005. It has been learnt that the Anti Corruption investigators were banging on the gates of the Minister’s house very loudly shouting out, “Anti Corruption! Open Up the Gate!! Anti Corruption!! Open Up the Gates!!” During this time, the armed policemen were stationed all over the neighbourhood where the Minister resides.

Truckload of Armed Police Officers Pick Up Afsatu Kabba's Husband & Sons in Sierra Leone
...The convoy was very obvious and so Afsatu's husband, after a few miles at Spur Road, stopped his vehicle and the Police Truck and ACC Van also stopped. He got out and went to the Officials and pointed out that if he was not under arrest as they claimed, why were they publicly tailing him? They sheepishly responded, "nothing Sir" but refused to move off. It is important to note that as ACC swooped in as soon as the Minister took off for her meeting to take the visiting World Bank team on tour of Tombo and other Fishing areas. Naturally, the devastated woman had to cut the tour and head back to town.
