With over 30 years of dedicated service to Sierra Leone in the field of teaching, leading democracy and peace building initiatives, and managing the state at ministerial and political party levels, Dr. Kadi was born and grew up in Rotifunk in Moyamba District in the South. She understands the feelings of the different peoples across the regions of the country - those very feelings define her life.

Sierra Leone is approaching with her citizens standing on the crossroads to make a choice between: continuing to propagate the harmful divisions in the country or promoting unity and peace; reclaiming our youth from violence, joblessness and poverty or continuing to use them as agents of terror; giving women an important place in society or continuing to relegate them to the margins of society; privileging patronage and incompetence or rewarding competence, hard work and character.

Kadi embodies the bridge of change that Sierra Leone needs. Kadi believes that Sierra Leone should be the home of all Sierra Leoneans and that Government should support all citizens to pursue their individual dreams in their communities and still bring them together as a single Sierra Leone family. Kadi believes in a Sierra Leone where hard work is rewarded instead of patronage.

She believes in constitutional rule, justice and freedom that have made our country enjoy the relative peace it currently has. Kadi believes that it is not right for just the friends and family of any president in power to unfairly prosper at the expense of the rest of the population. Such an approach to governance is sure to hamper efforts at alleviating poverty, unemployment, illiteracy and disease.

She is seriously perturbed by the worst polarization and divisions Sierra Leone has ever faced as a result of the policies and practices of the current Government. She therefore seeks to work towards making a Government that gives hope and endeavours to mend the cracks that have divided Sierra Leone and inhibited its cohesiveness.

Her exposure and experience in key top positions and her proven record of competence and integrity points to a leadership that will lead by example. As a woman and mother, she will provide a strong but caring leadership that will revamp the economy and improve the living standard of the average Sierra Leonean. Kadi will bring to the leadership arena a new energy, freshness and innovation that inspires hope.

The SLPP and the country require a visionary, confident and enlightened leadership with experience of how the grassroots people feel and live and what needs to be done.
