In 2018, President Bio pledged a bridge to Lungi. But nearly seven years on, the bridge remains unbuilt, and the narrative has shifted. Public records show it was more than a vision; it was a political promise. So what happened? Read our explainer: dubawa.org/lungi-bridge-i…

Police in Kabala have arrested Hawa Tamba for allegedly stabbing her fiancé, Lawson, during a domestic dispute. The suspect claims she acted in self-defence after being pressured and attacked. The victim died from excessive bleeding. #BelineBreaking #KabalaNews #JusticeUpdates

@MichaelBasita Fact-checking is not like normal reporting. You have to gather the facts and write your claim. That's why it takes times before a claim is published. It has to go through many processes before being published. I assure you, this is a claim many fact-checking hubs are working on.

The recent claim by Presidential Spokesman Alpha Kanu that "over 70% of Sierra Leoneans are now employed" is not only misleading but dangerously misrepresents the grim employment reality in the country. Such a statement, especially when made without reference to credible, verifiable data, serves to distort public perception, obscure necessary policy interventions, and silence the genuine struggles of millions of citizens. According to the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund, the situation is quite the opposite: over 70% of Sierra Leone’s youth population estimated at 1.5 million are either unemployed or underemployed, and nearly half are illiterate and unskilled. Even those in employement have been described by GIZ as “working poor.” This paints a far more sobering picture of the challenges facing young people in the country. It is imperative that watchdog institutions such as the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists (SLAJ) actively counter misinformation. Platforms like Dubawa and Africa Check must move beyond occasional fact-checking and respond robustly to statements that attempt to erase the socioeconomic struggles of citizens. Citizens deserve a government and public officials who are honest about the challenges they face, not one that attempts to ‘flip’ their reality. Words have power, and when used irresponsibly by those in authority, they can deepen mistrust and disengagement among the populace. This is therefore a call not only for the retraction or correction of the misleading employment claim, but also for greater vigilance and accountability in public communication. Truth and transparency must remain the cornerstone of responsible governance.
