In a very rigorous and competitive recruitment process, the Parliamentary Commission chaired by the Speaker of Parliament Hon. Segepoh Solomon Thomas appoints a new Deputy Clerk of Parliament following the retirement of Mr. Mohamed Lebbie as Deputy Clerk of Parliament earlier this year.
Gilbert Bosco N’habay was successfully appointed as the new Cleark of Parliament after the process.
Gilbert had acted for several months before the position of Deputy Clerk of Parliament was advertised.
Since his retirement and the occurrence of the said vacancy, the HR Policy and Manual dictate that an open advertisement should be done in respect of filling the said vacancy.
Several qualified persons applied were shortlisted, and interviewed, and Gilbert emerged as the Deputy Clerk of Parliament.
Gilbert had served Parliament for over five years in several positions, including Research Coordinator, Deputy Director of Research, Director of Research, Programmes and Partnership, and Deputy Acting Clerk of Parliament.
He is a researcher and Programmes development specialist of higher repute and had worked for national and international nongovernmental organizations, including Plan International, ChildFund, SOS Children’s Villages, British Council, and Westminster Foundation for Democracy.
He is a teacher, gender activist, and a Scolar of the InterAction Leadership programme. Gilbert was one-time Senior Prefect of the Prestigious Bo School and President of the National Union of Sierra Leone Students.
Given his plethora of experience both in the private and public sectors, we are of the view that he will add value to his new job and by extension to the overall operations of the Parliament of the Republic of Sierra Leone.
Congratulations, Gilbert and the Directorate of Parliamentary and Public Relations Department. I wish you well and the best of luck in your new appointment as the Deputy Clerk of the Parliament of Sierra Leone
