G Missing the Point. –> COPYRIGHT 2004 Financial Times Ltd. (From Concord Times (Sierra Leone) – AAGM) Byline: James Magao “The force for good”, as the police in Sierra Leone refer to themselves, has once again turned down law-abiding citizens from obtaining a permit in order to carry out a lawful demonstration on issues that are very dear to their hearts. The Inspector General of Police, Brima Archer-Kamara’s excuse on BBC was very unconvincing and made him sound very incredible.

The British IG had not shown any deviation from that long-standing policy, hence his ineffectiveness.
