The President of Sierra Leone, Julius
Maada Bio, has sacked Fatmata Kargbo, his chief of protocol (SCOP), after she
went to the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) which is owned by TB
Joshua, a Nigerian clergyman to testify of how she has been favoured by God.
President Julius Maada Bio Kargbo who
was featured on Emmanuel TV owned by TB Joshua, had testified of how God
favoured her with her recent appointment to serve as an aide to the President
and how she has been able to complete her new house which she had for many
years left abandoned.
Kargbo speaking to the congregation,
said that her story was now different as she showed the photos of her luxury
mansion which she completed recently.
I was living in a single room
apartment. But my story is now different,” she said. Her testimony which was
intended to amplify the goodness of God, however, sparked outrage in the
West African country.
The President shortly thereafter
relieved her of her duties even as he ordered the Anti-Corruption Commission
(AAC) of the country to carry out investigations on her finances and ascertain
her source of wealth which made her erect such a structure in a very short
period of time.
Fatmata Kargbo at SCOAN The AAC has
accordingly sent a letter to the AAC saying that it will be looking through her
previous asset declarations in accordance with the anti-graft law of Sierra Leone
which requires public officials to declare their assets three months before and
after leaving the office.
“The Anti-Corruption Commission has
opened an official investigation into the conduct of the official and her
testimony.
We will also look at her source of
wealth in acquiring her house and other properties. If it contradicts the
anti-corruption act or we find instances of unexplained wealth, she will be
charged to court and will be asked to pay a fine,” the AAC letter to her readers.
