As the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) updated the public that the High Court of Sierra Leone presided over by Hon. Justice A.T. Ganda on 25 February convicted Bockarie Sheku Mattia, a supervisor on contract with Statistics Sierra Leone’s Bo office on one count of soliciting an advantage of one hundred thousand leones, which is less than ten US dollars, Dr. Denis Bright has told Beyond Borders that corruption does not only belong to yesterday. The convicted Mattia was ordered to pay a fine of Fifty Million Leones (Le: 50,000,000), within a period of one month, effective the date of the judgment or serve a five-year imprisonment term. According to the particulars of offence, between 1st and 3rd June, 2020, in Bo, Mattia, while on a verification exercise for the World Bank-supported Social Safety Net program, meant to alleviate poverty from the poorest of Sierra Leoneans, solicited the sum of One Hundred Thousand Leones from a potential beneficiary of the scheme.
