Bra Parrot is not a politician but sometimes admires politicians as they are the people who make laws and generally run the state.
Meanwhile, the wise bird of late became disgusted because a good number of them lack integrity to the highest degree to say the least.
The case in point is Hon. Dr. Kandeh Kolleh Yumkella who was a very strong supporter of the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) but decided to leave and form his own party.
Dr. Yumkella had returned home from his international duty as Director General of United Nations Education and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) with anticipation of leading the SLPP which his father was one of the main founders.
But when he was denied the leadership of the party prior to the 2018 general elections, he angrily left the party and formed his own party called the National Grand Coalition (NGC) and started calling both the APC and SLPP as Alassan and Alusine (twins) indicating their failure to develop the country over sixty years sharing power between them.
Fortunately for him, his NGC out of mere sympathy got few seats in Parliament at that time.
What annoyed the Patriotic Bird about this man the most is that, during his time in Parliament, he supported almost all the bad bills that were passed.
The same man who angrily left the SLPP due to mistreatment, is the same who again shamelessly recently re-joined one of the very parties he has been condemning for bad governance before the forming his NGC he has now abandoned.
However, Hon. Dr. Kandeh Yumkella is not the only politician who has behaved in such manner going back and forth in their political career.
Following this negative development, the wise bird as usual, decided to go out to sound the views of people on the issue and almost all of them he spoke to expressed disappointment over the behaviour of the man the Bird once held in high esteem. Some, out of vexation, even referred to him as someone who has returned to his vomit to leak it.
Others say he has lost his credibility and integrity both to the people of Sierra Leone and the international world, taking into consideration his campaign messages to the people of Sierra Leone which he never fulfilled.
And to also get the views of some SLPP supporters, the Patient Bird endeavoured to visit their party’s national headquarters at Wallace Johnson Street in Freetown where Dr. Yumkella made his return declaration and this is what some of them had to say: “Even we in the SLPP have little or no trust in him any longer because we consider him being a betrayer.”
Bra Parrot also over heard some supporters saying that President Bio must be very careful with him, because they said in politics no one is reliable especially those like Yumkella who moves from party to the other because of selfishness.
