The Wise Bird has been receiving WhatsAPP calls, WhapsAPP messages and even normal calls in respect of the on-going Tripartite Committee and its operation.
According to the messages, they say speculations and counter-speculations are all over the place in respect of the outcome of the Tripartite Committee. Some people are even questioning the composition of the Committee and its slow pace.
Even though the Committee has a time line before it can submit its report, people think it is running at a slow pace.
The Wise Bird, as usual, always goes out to take the bull by horn because he is not known for telling lies, and that is more the reason the Wise Bird always does things in the interest of the people as a way of getting their views.
The Wise Bird sounded the views of the general public in respect of the Tripartite Committee and its time line that was agreed on before it eventually submits its report for public to know the outcome.
All those the Wise Bird spoke to expressed dismay over the recent statement made by the United State Ambassador who is part of the Committee, and so the people of Sierra Leone don’t expect him to have uttered such a statement, meaning he has let the cat out of the bag before the recommendations.
Some people said from the look of things, the Tripartite Committee is just like a workshop where people go a day or week to eat and drink and the statements and recommendations made there are not taken serious or implemented to the letter.
In some quarters, the people have described the Committee as toothless bull dog that barks but does not bite; some people are accusing the International Community as playing double role.
A senior statesman the Wise Bird spoke with had said the expectations of the people will be dashed by the Committee; the recommendation will be quite different from the expectation of the people even though the Co-Chair of the Committee is advising the people not to speculate the outcome of the Committee.
The Wise Bird over-heard one member of the ruling party (SLPP) saying that nothing serious will come out of the Tripartite Committee as expected by the people; because the report will be first given to the President, and so according to him, it will be doctored expect otherwise.
The Wise Bird will monitor the work of the Committee and its recommendations.
