Concerned Sierra Leoneans
12 avr. 2017
On April 11, 2017 Francis Ben Kaifala, the Special Legal Counsel of Concerned Sierra Leoneans (CSL), Mr. Francis Ben Kaifala together with Mr. Adrian Fisher, Mr. Kevin Metzger, Mr. M. Alieu Iscandari and Emmanuel Saffa Abdulai filed an injunction against the National Electoral Commission (NEC) for its failure to provide adequate facilities for Sierra Leoneans in the diaspora to vote and also for NEC to extend the registration period to make it possible for all Sierra Leoneans at home and abroad to exercise their right to vote without encumbrance or unnecessary obstacles. The high Court of Sierra Leone has scheduled a hearing on the matter on the 18th day of April 2017.
I, Abdul Kabba and Abibatu Bangura are the current named plaintiffs on behalf of all Concerned Sierra Leoneans in the diaspora who would like to exercise their constitutional right to participate in the upcoming elections and make their vote count in choosing the next president and members of Parliament of the republic of Sierra Leone.
The injunction was deemed necessary as the NEC failed to respond to our letters and petition requesting that reasonable accommodation be made for all Sierra Leoneans at home and abroad to be able to exercise our constitutional right to vote.
Now that the case has been filed any Sierra Leonean who would like to be a plaintiff in the case can have their names added to the list of plaintiffs before the case is heard on the 18th of April 2017. If you are interested in becoming a named plaintiff in the case please contact me for more details by sending an email to akabba2001@yahoo.com or contacting me via Facebook of WHATSAPP.
It is very important for all interested Sierra Leoneans to participate in this process and become a member of Concerned Sierra Leoneans regardless of political party affiliation. So please continue to sign the petition, contribute to the cause and/or join us as a member of Concerned Sierra Leoneans.
Sincerely
Abdul Kabba
Secretary-general
Concerned Sierra Leoneans
