I am here to SERVE!
Chief Minister David Moinina Sengeh reflects on his birthday.
Today, my birthday, more than any other day, I am reminded of my commitment to live a life of service to my country, my family and to you.
I was woken up by the Sierra Leone National Dance Troupe who performed for an hour for my family. In witness were family and friends including SLPP delegates from Kenema, Bombali, Kailahun and Western Area.
Then at the office, I got a wonderful birthday hug from the SLPP National Chairman. I love Sir Jimmy Batilo Songa because he sleeps, wakes up and lives for SLPP. Beyond politics, that is what drives our brotherhood.
I was greeted and sung for by the cleaners, gardeners, security and staff at State House. My job is made possible because of them. Other elders and leaders visited for an in person hug.
Of course what else defines service more than Cabinet for ministers? The Vice President, my boss and my friend, gave me a big hug and birthday wish. The entire cabinet melodiously sang for me as we dug into policy and agreements that will transform the lives of Sierra Leoneans.
I have been called by leaders in APC, other opposition parties, Paramount Chiefs, ordinary citizens and friends from all corners of Sierra Leone and the world.
I am not a birthday person but what's been phenomenal today is to see young people and community leaders across Sierra Leone take up service as part of the RADICAL INCLUSION MOVEMENT.
My friend from Maryland sent medical devices to Makeni hospital which are being used for surgeries. The youth of Pujehun are cleaning up major public areas. The women of Kenema have swept streets today. Students in Njala are undertaking various community service activities. All over the country, people are taking committed action in service of others.
Today, more than any day, I believe that our movement is unstoppable. Together a better, more loving, kinder and more just Sierra Leone.
As we all fast this Ramadan and Lent, may God heal us. May he strengthen us. May he unite us. And may he give us the energy to transform our country.
I am here to SERVE! I AM PREPARED. I AM ABLE. I AM READY!
