ACC Discovers Extended Salary Period in Abibatu Paran Tarawally Case

In a recent development surrounding corruption allegations against Hon. Paran Tarawally and his wife Abibatu Paran Tarawally, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has clarified certain aspects of the case.

Contrary to initial reports, ACC revealed that Abibatu Paran Tarawally received a salary for nineteen months, spanning from September 2021 to March 2023. This duration differs from the initially stated ten months, as clarified by the ACC in a press release.

The allegations revolve around the Clerk of Sierra Leone Parliament, Hon. Paran Tarawally, and his wife, who are currently on bail for suspected corruption and abuse of office. The charges stem from the recruitment of Abibatu Paran Tarawally as a staff member of Parliament. As part of the ongoing investigation, the ACC disclosed that Abibatu Paran Tarawally has already returned NLe131,000, which represents a portion of the salary she received during her tenure as a Human Resources Officer at Parliament.

The public awaits a crucial address from Commissioner Francis Ben Kaifala of the Anti-Corruption Commission of Sierra Leone, scheduled for today. The Commissioner is anticipated to provide further insights into the high-profile investigations, with expectations running high for potential indictments. The developments surrounding Hon. Paran Tarawally and his wife have heightened public scrutiny, emphasizing the importance of addressing corruption at all levels of government.

The case highlights the need for transparency and accountability in public offices, as allegations of abuse of office and fraudulent practices undermine public trust. The ACC’s efforts to shed light on the accurate duration of Abibatu Paran Tarawally’s salary receipt demonstrate the commitment to a thorough and fact-based investigation.

As the nation awaits Commissioner Kaifala’s announcement, the outcome of this case could have significant implications for the fight against corruption in Sierra Leone. The public’s demand for justice underscores the importance of holding individuals in positions of power accountable for their actions. The ACC’s role in exposing corruption serves as a crucial pillar in upholding the rule of law and fostering a climate of integrity within the government.

What more can we say or do if the Clark of Parliament is as corrupt like this. If the law makers like Paran Tarawalie can be corrupt in this kind of way What then the others can be in his government. No wonder the other SLPP members of Parliament in the dinner with president Bio were say "we need our Clark of Parliament back in his office" but this same members of Parliament were silent and no one was there to defend honorable Tawa conteh and Honorable Ngavao who stood up and exposed the Parliament by saying "the Parliament is corrupt" instead they threatened them to publicly apologise. It's a shame on us as a nation. It's a shame that the ruling party Honorable members were protesting before the president that they need the corrupt Clark of Parliament to take the same office and the president Who promised Sierra Leoneans that he will fight corruption did not rebuke them or tell them that the Clark will never return to that office because of what he has done against Sierra Leoneans. I rest my case.
