Dr. Samurai Kamara Reacts to The Gender Equity And Women’s Empowerment Act

The 2018 presidential flag bearer and 2023 flag bearer aspirant of the All People’s Congress APC party Samura Kamara have experienced joy over the Gender Equality Act passed in Parliament.

Gender Equality was one of president Boi’s manifesto promises to the women of Sierra Leone during the 2018 election campaign.

The Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Act will increase the chances of women in politics by making it mandatory for all political parties to enact gender policies that will specify the threshold for women in executive positions and local councils and parliament.

Samurai Kamara congratulated women in Sierra Leone and said the gender equality act is a long-awaited bill and has finally been enacted.

“Congratulations to the women of Sierra Leone. The long-awaited bill to increase gender representation in Parliament has now unanimously been approved with overwhelming support from APC MPs”.
