The Clerk of Parliament, Honorable Paran Tarawally, Clerk of Parliament has officially resumed following the end of his suspension.
According to reliable sources, Tarawally’s suspension and administrative discipline have concluded, and he has returned to his role. Hon. Tarawally had been suspended due to allegations concerning the employment of his wife within the Parliament. Claims were made that he was involved in the employment process.
Recent investigations by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) have cleared him of any wrongdoing. The ACC’s findings revealed that Hon. Tarawally was not aware of his wife’s employment within the Parliament. The Commission conducted a thorough investigation but found no documentation linking him to the hiring process. Consequently, the allegations against him were dismissed, and his suspension was lifted.
Despite the exoneration of Hon. Tarawally, the ACC has instructed his wife to refund all salaries received during her employment, along with applicable interest. This decision underscores the Commission’s commitment to upholding ethical standards and accountability within public institutions.
Hon. Tarawally returned to his position after a smooth transition back to regular operations under his stewardship. His return marks the resolution of a challenging period for both him and the institution, reaffirming his commitment to his duties and responsibilities.
With the end of his suspension, Hon. Tarawally’s focus will now shift back to his role as Clerk of Parliament, where he has resumed overseeing parliamentary affairs and contributing to the legislative process. His reinstatement is expected to bring renewed stability and leadership to the Parliament.
The ACC earlier reported that they have concluded their investigation of the Clerk of Parliament, Umar Paran Tarawallie and his wife and imposed a 5-year ban from holding public office on his wife who admitted responsibility and have recovered the full sum received as a salary plus 10% interest from her.
The commission revealed that Mrs. Abibatu Parana Tarawally has refunded the full amount received and agreed to settle the matter under Section 89 (1)(b)(i)(ii) of the Anti-Corruption Act 2008 (as amended in 2019).
Paran is an experienced human rights and peace practitioner, paralegal advisor, detention specialist of fourteen years repute in facilitation monitoring and reporting on detention condition s in Sierra Leone ‘s correctional centers and other penitential institutions. He has several years of project management experience with specific emphasis on the right based approach before assuming the as a Clerk of Parliament.
How can a clerk of Parliament head of all documentations not aware of anyone employed, including her wife, stop fooling yourself, we know what ACC has done you are the same family, eat is your time eat well.
Okay.
I’m almost laughing my lungs out. See an APC supporter crying foul over simple employment malpractice in Parliament. What has the APC not done in Sierra Leone?
Think of anything bad that has happened to our people in Sierra Leone and the APC will be connected with it. APC members are thieves, hoodlums, hooligans, Crooks and morally corrupt but they are the first to always start shouting if someone does anything by mistake, pretending as if they are saints. This is why their cultist party is falling apart and disintegrating.
