The Honourable Chief Justice of Sierra Leone, Komba Kamanda, on Thursday led a high-level delegation of Chief Justices, senior judges, legal scholars, and officials from the ECOWAS Commission on a landmark excursion to key heritage and conservation sites across the country.
The delegation’s tour included a visit to the Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary, a globally recognised conservation centre dedicated to the protection and rehabilitation of endangered chimpanzees. Delegates were given firsthand insight into Sierra Leone’s biodiversity and ongoing environmental preservation efforts.
They also visited the Peace Museum, located at the former premises of the Special Court for Sierra Leone. The museum stands as a symbol of justice, reconciliation, and national healing, offering a reflective account of the country’s post-conflict recovery and commitment to lasting peace.
Speaking during the tour, Chief Justice Kamanda—who also serves as Chairman of the ECOWAS Judicial Council—described the experience as “exciting and profoundly meaningful.” He emphasised Sierra Leone’s pride in hosting the delegation and showcasing its blend of natural heritage and judicial legacy.
A judge from Cape Verde praised the uniqueness of the Peace Museum, noting it was her first visit to a facility dedicated entirely to peacebuilding. She commended Sierra Leone’s efforts to preserve its history in a way that promotes education, reflection, and reconciliation.
The delegation’s motorcade, escorted by a strong police presence, drew public attention as it moved through Freetown, highlighting the significance of the visit and the presence of top judicial figures from across West Africa.
The excursion forms part of broader regional efforts to strengthen judicial cooperation, deepen cultural exchange, and showcase Sierra Leone’s contributions to peace, justice, and environmental conservation.
