All the one hundred and forty nine (149) Paramount Chiefs across Sierra Leone have converged in the southern city of Bo for a grand celebration dubbed Dubar of Paramount Chiefs.
The program slated to be held at the Bo Coronation Field today Tuesday 19th April 2011 is expected to attract various distinguished personalities including the President of the Republic of Sierra Leone, Ernest Bai Koroma.
Various cultural performances will form part of the occasion, as the southern city is already inundated with almost all the country's mask devils and other traditional performers.
The Paramount Chiefs are expected to receive from the President newly designed Chiefdom Staffs with special inscriptions of the Chiefdoms being represented by the traditional leaders .
The country's Paramount Chiefs were still using the old colonial staffs that were given to them by our British colonial masters, until now.
This is the second time since the country gained independence in 1961 that such a Dubar of Paramount Chiefs is being organized.
Hotels, Motels, Guest Houses and even private residences are reportedly jam packed with citizens from all over Sierra Leone, as well as foreign nationals.
