The Hymn For Today is to cover what we could only describe as 'Most Ignored News Story of 2009', SLPPA Chairman John Oponjo Benjamin (JOB) allegations that members of The President's family may have enriched themselves since 2007…
Tune: Silent Night, Holy Night!
1. Silent Night… Silent Night…
Could it be… J.O.B. is right?
He made serious allegations…
These require investigations…
NOT contemptuous silence!
Not contemptuous silence!
2. Silent Night… Silent Night…
ACC just sits tight!
Allegations on Indian rice…
Did they sell it at high market price?
When they got it near free?
When they got it near free?
3. Silent Night… Silent Night…
Corruption's never right…
If we spoke during SLPP…
Wont' stay silent under APC!
Nation's progress at stake!
`Nation's progress at stake!
4. Silent Night… Silent Night…
Admire's upward flight… (1)
Some one should explain situation…
How big contracts of the duration…
Fell straight into her lap?
Fell straight into her lap?
NOTES: (1) Admire Sesay, President's sister, whom Africa Confidential notes, quit her lowly civil service job as soon as her brother won 2007 elections and whom, J.O.B letter claims, is securing all major catering contracts under President Ernest Koroma…
The second CAROL FOR TODAY is a brief comment on how we got lumbered with a $1.55 million dollar CT SCANNER that isn't WORKING…
Tune: God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
- 1
-
Go rest ye merry gentlemen…
-
Let nothing you dismay!
-
Though CT Scanner might not work…
-
The pay-offs have been made…
-
High tech medical gadgetry…
-
You don't need anyway!
-
Oh Procurement guys get all the joy…
-
Get All The Joy…
-
Uh, Procurement guys got all of the joy.
2
-
From out of nowhere came a bid
A scanner to supply…
For lack of simple medicines
Our children often die!
-
Health Ministry cares less about that
Once they good Rip-Off spy!
Oh,. Procurement guys got all the joy
Get All the Joy!
Your Procurement guys got all the joy!
3
-
They told nobody at Connaught…
That CT Scanner due…
We didn't have the technicians
Or even scanner room!
Yet merrily they signed for it…
To our even'tual doom!
Oh, Procurement guys get all the joy!
They get the joy!
The Procurement guys bought this expensive toy.

-
Abbator*(1) was the Minister
When the scanner was bought…
We'd really like to ask this….
Was informed consent sought?
If this was a serious nation…
We'd see them all in court…
Those Procurement guys who got the joy!
Get all the joy!
Who purchased this expensive toy. |
Professor Peep!
