The Mayor of Freetown has done what leadership is supposed to do — speak truth with evidence, and act where silence would cost lives.
Her response was not defiance; it was diligence. Not politics, but public duty. While others traded accusations, she brought data, records, and accountability to the table — proof that her alarm was grounded in compassion, not conjecture.
To question her motives now is to miss the point entirely. The real question is not whether she was right to speak — it’s why so many had stayed quiet for so long.
History will remember that when the nation hesitated, Freetown’s Mayor chose to lead.
