Sierra Leone ex-president Ernest Bai Koroma has rejected corruption allegations leveled against him and over 100 officials who served in his government from 2008 to 2018.

The former president and others were found to have defrauded the state of over 200 million dollars by commissions of inquiry set up by President Julius Maada Bio.

The former president has described the investigations as an act of witch-hunt and says they have ignited an unnecessary tension in the country.

Joseph Fitzgerald Kamara is his lead lawyer.
