Sierra Leoneans were taken aback when Social Media was awashed with a recent with a Sierra Leone passport dished out to a Chinese National just like that.
This has got many Sierra Leoneans angry over the fact that the passport of Sierra Leone is now in the hands of Chinese which eventually made Sierra Leoneans recalled the dark days of the National Provincial Ruling Council (NPRC) when Sierra Leone Passport were sold to none citizens of Sierra Leone without any due process.
Phebean Jackson told SALONE TIMES that as a citizen this is an embarrassment to Sierra Leone because their passports are in the hands of foreign nationals without any due process.
“Is it not under Maada Bio in the days of the NPRC that Sierra Leone Passport was sold to none-Sierra Leonean s just like that ?? History has repeated. A nation deserves it leaders.” Momoh Sandi said.
It could be recalled that the Government Transition Report of the President Bio t in 20218 slammed the former Government of President Koroma that hundreds of ineligible citizens were granted
diplomatic passports and that dozens of those passports could not be accounted for.
Meanwhile, there is no naturalisation that was held recently because Immigration only informed Sierra Leoneans about the Naturalisation Process on the 1ST of October but Chinese Guosong Zhang was given the Passport on the 2 of September this year.
This simply means he did not go through any naturalisation process before the passport was awarded
