Robert Baoma Kowa Esquire, good performance at the Commission of Inquiry in the midst of challenges from Senior Defence Lawyers saw the sitting Judges convinced that, From a constitutional ambit, All 110 persons have cases to answer.
In his over 18 years of Legal Service, Robert Kowa Esq has won over 79% of cases, The remaining were negotiated for.
In his position as Solicitor-General of the Republic of Sierra Leone, Robert Baoma Kowa is pessimistic, That almost all State cases in the Courts of Law should at least be won, He heads an excellent team of State Counsels, Neither of them could be excluded from being the kind of person of trust to deliver State Functions, With their collaborative efforts, They show great distinction from the past.
Whether at Ecowas Courts or base, The team is well prepared to prosecute and defend Government-related cases at all times, But Robert Baoma Kowa’s duties does not only limited there, He is a Law Reformer, He believes that the growth, Of population and changes in generation, also constitutes changes of human behavior In such cases, The law (s) should equally be readjusted to meet those demands.
