China has come under fire for funding the construction of an office building for Sierra Leone's governing All People's Congress (APC) party.

Last week, President Ernest Bai Koroma presided over the laying of the foundation for the seven storied building, reported to cost $3 million and described by the government as a gift from the Communist Party of China (CPC).
