The Minority Leader of Parliament Hon Dr Bernadette Lahai has warned one
of the presidential nominees, Hon Capt. Abdul Rahman Kamara to refrain from
saying that he has a Masters Degree.
Rtd. Capt. Kamara is the
Presidential nominee for Deputy Minister of Defence who appeared before the
Parliamentary Committee on Appointment on Wednesday 30th March, 2016. This warning came about when
the presidential nominee revealed that since 1986 he is yet to received his
certificate because he failed to pay his due college bills and therefore his
result was withheld by the University.
“You should never claim
that you have a Masters degree anywhere in the world,” MP Bernardette Lahai
cautioned him.
Another Presidential nominee
Mohamed Bangura proposed Minister of Information and Communication was
questioned by the Minority Leader over the authenticity of the certificate of
the degree he submitted.
The
Committee discovered that as there was a serious spelling mistake in the
wordings on the certificate. For instance, instead of ‘HAS CERTIFIED’ the
certificate read ‘MAS CERTIFIED’
Hon Lahai expressed shock that
a credible University in Canada should make such a mistake. Mr Bangura
responded that that what was issued him.
The Minority Leader however
said that she would follow up the presidential nominee’s certificate.
The
other presidential nominees interviewed were Dr Christiana Thorpe Proposed
Deputy minister of Education, Dr Sylvia Blyden Proposed Minister of Social
Welfare Gender and Children Affairs, Monfred Sesay Proposed Appeal Court Judge,
Bai Mahmoud Bangura Proposed Minister of Youth Affairs, Sidi Yayah Tunis
