Former presidential aspirant of the All Peoples Congress (APC), Samura Kamara has on a social media post expressed positive notes about his political career.

He made this statement after his appearances before the High Court of Sierra Leone in the ongoing corruption case against the State.

“Politics for me is a purpose to serve, to represent the voiceless, to give young people voice, ensure women are given the opportunities they deserve and to build a Sierra Leone that meaningfully contributes to global affairs. So, I am on that journey,” he stated.

High Court Judge, Hon. Justice Adrian Fisher yesterday dismissed the application by the defence team of Dr. Samura Kamara, seeking to quash the indictment upon which Samura and 5 others are standing trial at the High Court for corruption related offences.

Samura Kamara and his lawyers have confirmed that they will seek redress in the Supreme Court for constitutional interpretation of the ruling given by the Justice Fisher.

 

The accused persons; Saidu Nallo (1st accused), Adikali Foday Suma (2nd accused) Foday Vahfomba Bawoh (3rd accused), Dr. Samura Matthew Wilson Kamara (4th accused) with the exception of Dr. Kandeh Foday Basil Kamara (5th accused) and Jules Sanders Davies (6th accused) who is currently out of the jurisdiction, are before the court on 48 count indictments ranging from misappropriation of public funds, conspiracy to commit a corruption offence, abuse of office and other corruption related offences.

The matter has been adjourned to Friday, 24th February 2021.
