   "We want the ban to be lifted so that we can travel out of the country to solicit funds to pursue our aims and objectives politically," said Eldred Collins, the RUF Party spokesman and a candidate to succeed former party secretary-general Pallo Bangura, who resigned last month."The ban has made the party to have limited funds to fight the recent elections, so we are now trying to strengthen the party's finances for carry out our programmes," he said.

   REFERENCE THE DETENTION OF ELDRED COLLINS IN KAILAHUN WEDNESDAY 27TH JANUARY 2005
   
   PRESS RELEASE
   
   Certain sections of the local media have carried stories about the arrest and detention in Kailahun of Eldred Collins, former spokesman of the Revolutionary United Front Party (RUFP), and the link with the Anti-Corruption Commission.
   
   The Commission can state categorically that Mr Eldred Collins volunteered to take our Poetry, Essay and Poster Competition flyers to Kailahun when he learnt that we needed someone to contact in that District for this purpose. Since he made himself available, and we were convinced that he was familiar with the region, we agreed to let him run the errand on behalf of the ACC.
   
   This was however not a contract or employment, temporary or otherwise. The exercise was purely of a voluntary nature, undertaken by a Sierra Leonean who thought it was his duty to help the Commission.
   
   The Commission would like to state that Mr Eldred Collins is not the only person who has volunteered to help the Commission disseminate information about the Poetry, Essay and poster Competition.
   ...
   We understand however that the local authorities of Kailahun arrested Mr Collins because he did not make his presence and mission known to the authorities when he arrived, as this is the regulation in that part of the country. The police intervened only when they realized it was their duty to secure him from any harm or molestation. That is why he was taken into protective custody in Kailahun, and later transferred him to Kenema.
   
   Though Collins was on a voluntary assignment on behalf of the ACC, we believe it was mandatory for him to respect the rules and regulations that govern the local administration of Kailahun District.
