Alleged corruption
Bundu has also been implicated in various corruption scandals while he was in the government, including the selling of Sierra Leonean citizenship to people from Hong Kong and keeping the money to the sale of fertilizers and illegal profiteering from sugar [2].
AbassBundu again, as Minister of Agriculture, is reputed to have sold a whole ship of fertilizers which were destined for Sierra Leone and for the people of Sierra Leone, and converted the proceeds to his own use and benefit.
AbassBundu sold Sierra Leone passports and Sierra Leone citizenship to Hong Kong citizens for the sum of $15,000 a piece while he was Foreign Minister and pocketed the proceeds.
AbassBundu is the son of Momodu Sesay, a man without a background of which AbassBundu would be proud.
