Institute for Legal Research and Advocacy for Justice (ILRAJ) highlighted the part of the law that will implicate and prosecute any electoral officer who tend to embark on election violation.
ILRAJ is an independent non-partisan public policy research and educational think tank established to explain, monitor and contribute to the protection of human rights. They have conducted many research and have organized many symposiums, debates and other educational gathering to foster the laws of Sierra Leone.
In their publication which they titled “secrecy Matters: protecting Your Vote, Protecting Our Democracy” they said, “ the infringement of secrecy by an electoral officer, polling assistant, or polling agent as a polling station is a serious criminal offence. Offenders can face a minimum fine of 20,000 Leones or a minimum imprisonment term of 5 years or both fine and imprisonment.”
In the end they advise people to report any violation by electoral officers, polling agents or polling assistants.
ILRAJ please educate the ECSL Commissioner that his activities will lead to war.
Let the ECSL Commissioner understand that the people of this county will not accept false data to be used in this election.
We will not accept Mohamed Konneh’s hand made data for the elections. He has manipulated the data.
Mohamed Konneh has reduced the vote’s list by deleting the names of over three thousand voters from the North West which he added to the South East.
Apart from that, Mohamed Konneh registered the youngest Voter (a two year old boy) in the South East, Kailahun district. There are a lot of errors even in the Campaign plan. We are not ready to accept such a poorly qualified, incompetent, unethical and a man of such integrity to conduct the Elections.
Konneh is a PAOPA party card Carrier and has very little initiative to conduct a credible elections
Konneh, you better resign and give chance to a more efficient and effective electorial commissioner.
Thank you for listening.
