Senior Secondary School Pupils of Bombali District Council Secondary School at Rokonta, Bombali District in the Northern Province, have sued their principal, Daniel Raymond Kamara, aka Opinto at the Makeni Magistrate Court for depriving them from writing their WASSCE  for consecutive two years.

Proceedings on the matter will commence on Wednesday 17th January, 2024.

According to the particulars of offence, Principal Daniel Raymond Kamara, on various dates during 2022/23 Academic Year, collected huge sums of money from students wanting to write their WASSCE.

The fees vary from one pupil to another totalling over Le 70 million (old Leones).

According to reports, the money collected was never paid to West African Examination Council (WAEC)’s bank account for the candidates to take their WASSCE . Having tried in vain to retrieve their money, the pupils have taken the matter to court for justice to prevail.

Impeccable sources have revealed to this press that, Principal Opinto, being one of the candidates for the Bombali Sharry Chiefdom Chieftaincy election due soon, is alleged of using the poor school pupils’ money to fund his campaign.

When contacted via cell phone, the Principal Daniel Raymond Kamara, declined to comment on the issue but later said he is the leading candidate in the election, which implies that he is above the law.

Being the brother-in-law of the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Basic and Senior Education, Principal Kamara, has boasted at Rokonta village that, nothing will come out of the issue.

“I have met with the Senior Officers at the Ministry; the issue is dead and buried. I am on top of the situation,” he upbeat.
