According to local tabloids, especially reports monitored from the Exclusive newspaper, it would seem that the Minister of Defence, Paolo Conteh and the country army Chief of Defence Staff, Nelson Williams, have come under the tremendous scrutiny and spotlight. This came after a letter purportedly written by a group of soldiers calling themselves the ‘DREAM Team’, exposed several allege ills in the military and threatening of dire consequences if the said ills are not immediately addressed. A cross section for the public has condemned the approach of both the Defence Minister and his Chief of Defence Staff towards the issue.
The public has the view that the allegations contained in the said letter have far reaching effects on the peace and stability of the country, and should therefore not be treated with a mere wave of the hand. According to public perception, most of the problems highlighted in the letter were among those identified by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) as being the main causes of the decade long crises that left several thousands killed and thousands more mutilated. This was a view expressed in the Atomic Newspaper publication of Monday, February 9 2009.
