Popular female Politician, Dr Sylvia Olayinka Blyden, who is a member of the main Opposition All People’s Congress (APC) has criticized lawyers of her party over what appears to be faulty drafted papers filed at the Supreme Court on Monday 28th November, 2022.
While openly supporting the objectives of the said court case, Dr Sylvia Blyden has criticized the APC Lawyers who filed constitutional papers against the purported directive of His Excellency the President for the Electoral Commission to conduct elections next year by a Proportional Representation system.
Writing in her Twitter account, the controversial Female who remains to be the only non-lawyer to have singlehandedly argued a case by herself at the Supreme Court, said she has contacted one of the lead lawyers who filed, to alert him to go back and better study what they filed to the Supreme Court to adjudicate on.
Dr Sylvia Blyden said she has alsocontacted the Supreme Court Registry so she can confirm that the Supreme Court Registry has already served the ostensibly faulty drafted papers on the Attorney General as law established in the 1982 Supreme Court Rules of the land.
However Dr Sylvia Blyden has in no uncertain terms called on the APC Lawyers to go back and better study what they had filed. She wrote that the APC Lawyers should “more closely study those papers filed” but left her thoughts in a cryptic manner as if she did not want to publicly embarrass the APC Lawyers on any mea culpa they may have committed in their filings.
“I confirm that Supreme Court by law, has physically served on Attorney General, a case against President Bio’s direction of ECSL’s Mohamed Konneh to use PR for the 2023 Elections. I support the case but I’ve strongly advised Joseph Fitzgerald Kamara Esq to study those papers filed.”
More according to a news release issued on Monday 28th November, 2022, the legal practitioners, JFK & partners filed the Originating Notice of Motion to declare null and void the presidential directives and statutory instrument No 83 on Proportional Representation (PR) System at the Supreme Court of Sierra Leone.
