Bra Parrot has observed lately with dismay since campaign timetable was put out by the Electoral Commission of Sierra Leone (ECSL) the ruling Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP) has not been adhering to the timetable in anyway.
The brave bird noticed day in and out that the SLPP is campaigning at will with no consideration to the campaign timetable.
Bra Parrot is wondering whether extra days were given to the ruling Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP) as against other political parties.
Bra Parrot sounded the views of members of other political parties on the rising issue and, they expressed dissatisfaction over the, Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone (ECSL) and the Political Parties Regulation Commission (PPRC) as responsible for such.
They also expressed frustration over the arbitrary arrest and detention of some of their members by the police on various campaigns at various places around the city and the provinces.
The reason advanced by the police was that, they were not allowed to play a musical set during campaign days.
The brave bird also witnessed at Kissy when the police ordered supporters to put off the musical set during the campaign of the APC.
Bra Parrot did not stop at Kissy, but flew all the way to the West-end of Freetown and saw the same happening as at Kissy. Police officers ordered supporters of the APC not to play a musical set during campaigns.
The brave bird noticed during the campaign of the ruling SLPP that musical sets were all over the city of Freetown with no arrest made by the police or even stopping them.
Bra Parrot is very much worried over the issue because the way things are going just few days towards the elections is a call for concern to all.
The brave bird is of the view that the Electoral Commissioner and the entire Commission are up to something.
Bra Parrot is of the sound view that the Political Parties Regulation Commission (PPRC) is also not helping the situation in this regard and, not that they did not know or hear what is going on but has kept sealed lips over the worrying issue.
The brave bird is totally disappointed over the two institutions, the PPRC and ECSL for not taking any line of action.
Bra Parrot is not a political bird, but yearning to see a level playing field at every level of the game.
Bra Parrot is calling on the authorities concern to try and put things in their proper place.
The ruling SLPP should not take advantage of incumbency because no condition is permanent under the sun.
