The Campaign for Human Rights and Development International (CHRDI) has formally requested information on the “Commission of Inquiry 2018” cases currently before the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Sierra Leone.
The request was made under the Right to Access Information Act, 2013 (Act No. 2 of 2013), which guarantees citizens’ right to access information held by public institutions.
In a statement, CHRDI emphasized that as a civil society organisation committed to transparency, accountability, and good governance, it is keenly interested in tracking the progress of these high-profile cases, which carry significant implications for the rule of law and anti-corruption efforts in the country.
“Access to this information is essential for ensuring transparency and accountability in the judicial process and promoting public trust in the institutions of governance,” CHRDI said.
The organisation also acknowledged the judiciary’s past challenges in complying with the Freedom of Information law but expressed hope that the courts will adhere to legal provisions this time.
CHRDI reiterated its commitment to advancing transparency and accountability across Sierra Leone’s governance landscape.
