Sierra Leone’s opposition leader vows to hold government accountable

In Sierra Leone, the leader of the opposition in parliament is promising a monthly press conference to hold the government accountable for its actions. Abdulai Kargbo also denies accusations from a section of the All People's Congress (APC) support base that the leadership appears to have been bribed. This, they say, is the reason why APC leaders have been quiet despite the challenges facing the country. The criticism comes as local media reports Sierra Leone faces rising inflation and cost of living, including a recent electricity crisis in the capital, Freetown. Parliamentarian Abdulai Kargbo tells VOA's Peter Clottey, the opposition in parliament will keep fighting to ensure transparency in government and for better living standards.
