Speaker of Sierra Leone House of Parliament, Hon. Chernor Abass Bundu, remains optimistic about the imminent arrival of the elected members of parliament from the main opposition All People’s Congress (APC).
In recent remarks, Bundu lauded both the Sierra Leone government and the APC opposition for their constructive three-day peace dialogue held at the Bintumani hotel in Freetown. He emphasized that the agreements reached during this dialogue are pivotal in enhancing the nation’s democratic progression.
Speaker Bundu reassured that the opposition MPs will receive a warm welcome in the parliament. He also highlighted the importance of the official swearing-in ceremony as a crucial step to officially recognize them as legal members of the House.
Drawing attention to Sierra Leone’s 1991 constitution, Bundu underscored its emphasis on multi-party democracy, denouncing any single-party dominance. “This foundational commitment to a multi-party system is the reason I’ve been urging opposition members to take their rightful place in parliament. It’s essential they represent their electorates, fulfill their mandates, and execute their constitutional duties,” Bundu stated.
No need to welcome them because you are the asked them not entered in the House they do that for selfish interests not for the Country I don’t see no reason why you meaningful Sierra Leonean to ask those that are not good for the country to come back to House MP.
Official swearing-in ceremony as a crucial step to officially recognize them as legal members of the House (said speaker of the house). At the dialogue, APC asked for three months salary and other benefits be given to their mps while sitting at home without working. Now how can they pay the mps for three when they are not legal members of the house, when oath is taken they will start to receive all their entitlements immediately. For the past months let them forget about it as their madness led them to that
You are right my bro those so call APC MP’s don’t have the country at heart all they’re asking for,is for they’re porget to full with money
Constitutional matters should be treated with respect to constitutionality. No work, no pay.
Let the laws os Sierra Leone deals with them, is a lessons learned they will never do it again
APC MPs did not work, government should not pay them anything. Government don’t owe them nothing. Until they start working. The whole world are watching. Overseas, you don’t work, you don’t get pay. Let Samura and EBK and Swayer pay them. They told them not to go to parliament. SLPP government if you pay Samura and the rest, it will hunt you in thr future. Mark what am saying. I am a sierra leonean. That will be a bad setting. Can you just pay ordinary citizins who did not work, no. Don’t do it. I am one of the loving citizen and others praying fervently for peace of our nation, sierra leone. I will be very discourage to hear you pay them without work. I rest my case. God bless sierra leone. Amen.
