President promises Bumbuna power

President Ernest Bai Koroma has promised Sierra Leoneans that work is almost complete on the long-awaited Bumbuna dam, though he warned that they would have to wait for the rains to fill the reservoir. In a televised address on 14 April, he said the dam, the power plant and the main transmission line from Bumbuna to Freetown’s Kingtom power station were complete.
