Sierra Leone’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Alpha Sesay, recently provided important insights into the medical leave of former President Ernest Bai Koroma, who is currently receiving treatment in Nigeria.
In his statement, Alpha Sesay also addressed the distinction between Resolution 4 of the National Peace Agreement, which concerns political prisoners, and the ongoing treason trial of the former president.
The Attorney General clarified that while Resolution 4 calls for the release of political prisoners, Koroma’s case is not covered by this provision. The resolution does not apply to individuals facing serious criminal charges such as treason.
Alpha Sesay further emphasized that the legal proceedings in Koroma’s case will continue as prescribed by law, regardless of his medical leave.
This clarification comes amid growing public interest and concern regarding the legal status of Ernest Bai Koroma, who is currently embroiled in a treason trial.
The Attorney General reiterated the government’s commitment to ensuring that justice is served, while also recognizing the importance of respecting the legal rights and medical needs of all individuals involved.
One thing is obvious, the man will be tried and handed down verdicts as per investigation outcomes. However, Ngo Bio will be there given presidential clemency to Ernest, mark my words
Instead of guys fighting hard how to solve the hardship problems in our country, you guys setting there fighting the opposition
I’m telling you my brother, this guy’s don’t even think about the situation of the country.
Fellow, in case you don’t know. If we in Sierra Leone faced difficulties today EBK is one of the contributors. EBK is one of the problems in Sierra Leone so he need to be dealt with. He must face Justice and charge to prison.
Yeah, according to you, you say that the government is not thinking about the country,
(1) Are you not secured against disadvantages due to the security provided by the government to protect our lives and property?
(2) What is the cost of a 50kg bag of rice now as compared to the previous cost?
(3) Have you heard about the reduction on the prize of a bag of Cement?
(3) What about all the infrastructural developments that has been physically done in improving the infrastructures of the country within the last 7 years (2018-2025)?
Traveling suffering aliviation stepped up by the government in providing bus service, commuting commuters from the far east and west of Freetown?
(The Waka Fine Buses)
Today, over thousands of commuters are rightfully benefiting from the bus service.
(4) Onions are being planted in country which has now propelled mass reduction on the price of the commodity.
(5) School Bus for our school going children, easily accessed, cost per child, minimal, etc. how about that?
Rights given to our women folks by laws passed in their favors.
There are lots more to show, right?
You people have your focus just one-sidedly and forgot to be holistic or comprehensive.
To name but a few.
Ponder over it!!!!
So because of the country’s economic situation, does it mean that the rule of law should not prevail?
Is Sierra Leone’s National Constitution be disregarded because of the economic status of the country?
So should the failed Coup was successful and anarchy becomes the order of the day on to now as we are discussing, what would have been your take?
Perhaps, most of us defending Ernest Bai Koroma may not have been alive.
Think of it.
Furthermore, what would you say about those who have been found guilty and convicted?
Are they not citizens of this country?
Does the life of Ernest Bai Koroma superior to those died in defense of the country, including yourself?
Why always we put our interest above the country that we all say that we love?
How many years will he under go treatment? the sun will shine on those who stand under it.Ebk if your sickness have no care in Nigeria please come back home maada bio will treat you.
That final Sir. EBK must facing Justice
