SIERRA LEONE: BIO AT UNGA, TAX EXEMPTION BILLIONS & SLPP–MUSA TARAWALLY SHOWDOWN

SIERRA LEONE: BIO AT UNGA, TAX EXEMPTION BILLIONS & SLPP–MUSA TARAWALLY SHOWDOWN 👆🏾Listen to the VOS Politics and Economics show, dated September 24, 2026 SIERRA LEONE POLITICS & ECONOMICS — SEPTEMBER 24, 2026 | VOS NETWORK Tonight on VOS Television, we examine the major political, economic and governance stories shaping Sierra Leone at home and abroad. President Julius Maada Bio has addressed the 81st United Nations General Assembly, calling for renewed trust, fairness, stronger multilateralism and a United Nations that delivers for all. His address also included support for adherence to the UN Charter and international law, as well as a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Office of the President of Sierra Leone We also examine President Bio’s call for the next UN Secretary-General to be a woman, as António Guterres approaches the end of his tenure in December 2026. Guterres himself has used his final General Assembly address to emphasize international law, institutional reform and global cooperation. Reuters On the economy, the Budget Advocacy Network (BAN) is calling for tighter controls on tax exemptions. BAN says industry-sector exemptions increased from NLe177 million in 2018 to more than NLe3.5 billion in 2023, while exempt entities reportedly left NLe248 million in arrears in 2024. We ask: are tax concessions supporting investment—or weakening domestic revenue mobilisation? Truth Media And a major political dispute is unfolding inside the SLPP. National Chairman Jimmy Batilo Songa has directed Alhaji Musa Tarawally to stop presenting himself as an SLPP member or flagbearer aspirant after the CDP reportedly confirmed that Tarawally remained on its membership records. Tarawally disputes that claim, says he resigned from the CDP in 2018, maintains that he remains a fully paid-up SLPP member, and his lawyers have demanded withdrawal of the chairman’s letter. This Days L Also tonight: • President Bio reiterates his position that he has no third-term agenda • The continuing controversy over Lands Minister Dr. Turad Senessie’s land-ownership remarks • SLPP membership verification and its implications for the flagbearer contest • Highlights from last week’s political debate • Governance, accountability and the latest national political developments Join us for discussion, competing perspectives and analysis.
