Opposition Leader Criticises Chief Minister Sengeh Over Sierra Leone ‘Drug State’ Remarks

The All People’s Congress (APC) Opposition Leader in Parliament, Abdul Kargbo, has strongly criticised Chief Minister David Sengeh over recent comments regarding Sierra Leone’s growing drug epidemic, accusing him of downplaying the seriousness of the crisis.

Speaking during a visit to the United Kingdom, Sengeh reportedly attributed the country’s drug problem to the importation of substances such as Tramadol and ingredients used in the production of kush from countries including India, Belgium, and the United Kingdom.

In response, Kargbo argued that the Chief Minister’s remarks failed to adequately address the scale of the drug crisis and its impact on Sierra Leone
