The Parliamentary Oversight Committee on Environment and Climate Change in Sierra Leone’s House of Parliament conducted a visit to the Grafton Water Company on August 22, 2025, to assess safety standards and environmental compliance within the water industry.
This visit is part of the Committee’s ongoing mandate to inspect and monitor industry practices, ensuring adherence to environmental and safety regulations.
The visit also focused on assessing the company’s adherence to environmental regulations, evaluating workplace safety conditions, and ensuring sustainable practices are being implemented in line with national standards.
Furthermore, the proactive initiative underscores Parliament’s commitment to safeguarding both the environment and public health, while promoting accountability within industrial operations.
The committee emphasized that industries must operate in ways that are safe for workers, environmentally responsible, and beneficial to the wider community.
