Activist Warns Over High Cost of Transportation in President Bio’s Home District

The Native Consortium & Research Center has issued a strong warning to the Ministry of Transport and the Sierra Leone Ports Authority (SLPTA) regarding the continued high costs of sea inter-town boat transportation fares within Bonthe District, the home district of Sierra Leone’s President and Speaker of Parliament.

In a formal memo addressed to the President, the Speaker, and all natives of Bonthe and surrounding coastal towns, the Consortium revealed that despite the recent drop in fuel prices, the expected 20% reduction in boat fares has not been passed on to passengers.
