When I read XXXX's reply, I thought he was trying to complicate/block XXXX and XXXX exit from
Kenema (btw Metabiota has terminated their contracts thanks to XXXX, CDC and DTRA).

Much good work was achieved prior to the arrival of the Metabiota field staff, and I feel that questions
should be asked at a significantly higher level.

I have no idea! At HQ we are interested in ascertaining if it's worthwhile for me to go back to kenema
because of possible resistance from XXXX and XXXXand even Metabiota. XXXX was cool with us,
but XXXX was certainly not.
Anyway, we're trying to determine if it would be better for me to go to Liberia instead.

Whats the story with Metabiota? I was aware of something from Metabiota who were seriously
causing problems to our surveillance in bypassing us to introduce their method of Contact Tracing
and monitoring without much of our involvement. I am aware that they may have submitted a report
through Metabiota stating how ineffectual the WHO team were.
XXXX may have more to state on that.

What is XXXX phone number in Kenema? I may have to go back ASAP, but need to talk to him about
the feasibility of my working there. Is it even worth it for me to go back? Basically, Id like to get his
assessment of how useful I can be if MOHS is running the show with Metabiota

There are about five Sierra Leoneans with plenty of experience in Kenema, and Metabiota are still
there.
