SIERRA LEONE PRESIDENT FRAUTRATED WITH WHO

President of Sierra Leone Ernest Bai Koroma said he is having conflict with the WHO advisers. The people of Sierra Leone has gone through a great lost after nearly 4,000 Sierra Leone and over 11,000 people lost their to the virus Ebola.

The country will be officailly declared Ebola free on saturday. It is 42 days since the last patient was dischagred.

          Mr Koroma told the BBC's Umaru Fofana that on issues such as restricting movement, 
          "we wanted to move on... but the advice was to the contrary".He said his government 
           had to put up with the delays because international organisations such as the WHO "were              the experts"."They have the resources and the knowledge to help us in the fight."
           The WHO has previously acknowledged failures in its handling of the outbreak. BBC News              has invited the organisation to respond to Mr Koroma's remarks.
           He said it was the end of a "difficult and turbulent journey".
          "It's a moment of great celebration for our people, a feeling of achievement, a feeling of                 getting out of the thick woods that we found ourselves [in]."
        The president said in the event of another outbreak, he would introduce counter-measures             far sooner.More than 11,000 people in West Africa are thought to have died from the                     deadliest occurrence of Ebola since the virus was discovered in 1976
