Kono Politician to Drag APC MPs to Court

Former All People’s Congress (APC) councillor in Kono, Godwin has vowed to sue APC Members of Parliament to court if they fail to attend next Parliamentary session.

Godwin intimated his frustration with decision of the three APC MPs elected in Kono District to follow the stance of their party.

The three MPs are part of a total of 53 parliamentarians that signed a dossier vowing to boycott government and governance over election results released by the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone (ECSL).

The main opposition APC party disputed results from the 24 June multitier election citing that collation of data should have been done by polling stations.

Newspaper reports indicated that Councillor Godwin intend to sue the three Kono MPs for failing to perform their duties they were elected for.

The former Councillor said the disputed results should not have affected the participation of the MPs in parliament and government as a whole.

“They therefore need to go to parliament and defend us, but if they refuse to go to Parliament, I will sue them for failing to represent the Kono people and for wasting their votes,” Godwin told Satellite Press.

The former councillor claimed that he has the support of many Kono people and other locals in the country.

He is not APC but a surrogate of SLPP to disturb the party's decision. Let him go to court and sue them, he will know what is in the APC as a party. Stupid councilor. They will not in any way attend parliamentary sessions that is setup by this current regime. Mr. Councilor, go and represent your people, fighting for survival is your aim that we know and aware of. You want the people of kono to suffer another five years of intimidation. Selfish councilor.

The speaker of parliament has given an ultimatum of 30 days from the day they took oath. If after the expiration date and they do do honour their roles they shall be replaced. Lonta.

The 1991 constitution of Sierra Leone provided for any MP who refuses to serve the people after they are elected in parliament on senseless grounds like in the case of APC now, the electorates have the right to sue such MP to court for failing to carry out the duties for which they were elected. Therefore, they have the right to exercise that power as entrenched in the constitution.
