SLAJ sends petitition letter on delay of Passage of Freedom of Information Law
Honourable Justice Nathaniel Abel Stronge Speaker, House of Parliament Republic of Sierra Leone Parliament Building FreetownDear Sir,
CONCERN OVER DELAY IN PASSAGE OF FREEDOM OF INFORMATION LAW
We write to express grave concern over the unexplained delay in the promulgation of the Freedom of Information Law which seems to have been bogged down in the House for several months now.
We appreciate the efforts made by especially Honourable Members of the Legislative Committee in goading the process so far but all of those efforts will be shrouded in suspicion and speculation ending in fruitlessness if the bill continues to be shelved.
On behalf of the people of Sierra Leone who badly need this law, SLAJ hereby urges the Honourable House to speed up its promulgation before the 50th independence anniversary fever vanishes. We hope this can happen in June.
Looking forward to your usual cooperation.
Umaru Fofana
PRESIDENT
CC: Hon. Minister of Information
