Ebola outbreak not hurting investment in Sierra Leone: foreign minister

By Carolyn Cohn and Chris Vellacott LONDON (Reuters) – The Ebola outbreak has not hurt foreign investment in Sierra Leone but will inevitably require more spending to fight it, the country’s foreign minister said on Monday. Sierra Leone is among a group of West African countries suffering the worst-ever outbreak of Ebola, accounting for close to a third of the more than 600 deaths across the region since February, according to World Health Organisation figures. “It has not taken investors off-track,” Samura Kamara told Reuters in an interview in London.
