SLAJ Reacts as Sierra Leone Judiciary Blocks Journalists From Auditor General’s Tribunal

The Sierra Leone Association of Journalist has issued a Press Release  expressing  serious concerns over  complaints received from Journalists that they were denied entry to cover the first day of proceeding  of the Tribunal of the suspended Auditor-General and one of her deputies.

Sierra Leone Association of Journalist  call on the *Judiciary of Sierra Leone* to allow media access to the tribunal proceedings (and even live coverage) so that the public follows the process in the interest of transparency and fair hearing.

The  release concludes that the tribunal should be opened to all media not just a selected few.

The release is signed by Alhaji Manika Kamara Acting National Secretary General.
