The Parliamentary Monitoring and Evaluation Department has formally submitted its 2025 Annual Report to the leadership of Parliament, underscoring a renewed commitment to strengthening oversight, transparency, and institutional accountability.

The submission was led by Director Mohamed Kolleh Mansaray, who presented the report to Clerk of Parliament Karmoh K. Conteh, Deputy Clerk Bosco N’habay, and Director General Findosia Fraser.

The report provides an in-depth assessment of parliamentary performance over the past year, highlighting both strengths and areas requiring improvement. It reviews legislative output, committee effectiveness, compliance with parliamentary procedures, and the institution’s capacity to hold the executive to account.

According to the department, the Monitoring and Evaluation unit plays a central role in ensuring compliance within Parliament and providing evidence-based recommendations to guide leadership decisions. The findings are intended to inform policy direction and shape strategic priorities for the coming year.

Parliamentary officials described the report as a practical tool for improving internal processes and enhancing public trust. Its recommendations are expected to support reforms aimed at strengthening legislative scrutiny, improving committee follow-up on executive actions, and enhancing mechanisms for citizen engagement.

Observers note that the formal submission reflects Parliament’s continued efforts to embed monitoring and evaluation into routine practice, making oversight a continuous institutional function rather than an occasional exercise.

The submission of the 2025 Annual Report marks a significant step in Sierra Leone’s broader governance agenda, reinforcing Parliament’s role as a key pillar of democratic accountability. Parliamentary leadership is expected to review the recommendations and determine priorities for implementation in the coming months.
