§ 57. Mr. J. Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that the Timani Tribe people of Sierra Leone do not have a substantive headman, and that discontent about this situation was mainly responsible for the disorders that took place in Freetown during his visit; and whether the Government of Sierra Leone will have elections for this tribal headman.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydWhile there was a passing reference to this complaint as being a contributory factor to the Freetown disturbances in the memorandum which was presented to me by the People's National Party, no mention was made of this in the course of my discussions in Sierra Leone.
