As usual, the wise bird always love to read all the newspapers published every day not just for the sake of reading, but to be properly au fait with issues of the day.
As Bra Parrot was going through one of these papers, his smart eyes quickly caught a headline captioned: ‘ECSL Konneh elected ECOWAS Elections Chief.” The mere glance at the headline without reading the stuff itself made the Patient Bird to laugh his ribs out in perfect dismay.
The wise bird could not believe his eyes to have read that Mohamed Konneh was or has been elected President of the ECOWAS Network of Electoral Commissions (ECONEC).
According to the newspaper, before his election (Mohamed K. Konneh) was the second vice-President of ECONEC, and that the event was in fact a mere formality as Mr. Mohamed K. Konneh went un-opposed.
This singular decision or action by the Economic Countries of West African States (ECOWAS) has made many people to believe that the regional bloc does not worth its salt.
Others insist that ECOWAS wouldn’t have even thought of electing Konneh to that high position, taking into consideration the election he conducted which was and still surrounded by controversies including vote rigging and other irregularities which is still being challenged by the main oppositions the All Peoples Congress (APC) party. Bra Parrot is of the view that, ECOWAS was part of the syndicate to rig the June, 24 2023 election.
Even the blind people saw what happened before and during the election but thank God ECOWAS did not see all of that to have elected him to that vital position.
The name Mohamed Konneh is synonymous to rigging of elections in Sierra Leone.
The wise bird is very much disappointed at the regional bloc for not living up to the expectations of the people.
Following Mr. Mohamed Konneh appointment as President of ECONEC the Brave Bird immediately went out and about to talk to people about their take on the matter.
And those the Bird spoke to express their sympathy to ECOWAS to have elected such a person to that very important position of trust, when the man himself is not trustworthy. Others say ECOWAS is not a force to reckon with and it is a disappointment to the World.
Some people said Mr. Mohamed Konneh’s integrity has been put to question by both local and the international community for him to hold that important position and such is a disgrace to ECOWAS and their partners.
The wise bird will say without hesitation that if Konneh is to conduct an election at ECOWAS now he will doubt do the same thing as he did in Sierra Leone.
Since he conducted the June 24, 2023 elections in Sierra Leone up to date there has been no stability in the country because he did the all wrong things to satisfy his tribesmen at the detriment of the nation.
