The Coordinator of the Tripartite Secretariat made a detailed presentation on the status of the implementation of the tripartite recommendations at a training for journalists on the tripartite recommendations. It took place Tuesday at the Civil Service Training College, State Avenue, organized by the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists (SLAJ) with funding from International IDEA and European Union in Sierra Leone.
Ngolo Katta told journalists that recommendation 78 in the Tripartite Report was under implementation since technical and general consultations had been conducted in Freetown and the regions.
Four technical consultations were held in Freetown: one with electoral management bodies and the Security Sector, one with all registered political parties, one with Inter-Religious Council, and an expert panel with academics and a select audience.
The regional consultations took place in Port Loko, Makeni, Kenema, and Bo. One was organized in Western Rural Area in Waterloo. All of that would lead to the national dialogue in July, 2025, at the Bintumani conference hall.
An Independent Management and Functional Review on Electoral Commission of Sierra Leone ECSL had been conducted and its report presented to the President. It contained 85 recommendations, and an action plan had been developed to support the implementation of the review report.
Other Management and Functional Reviews on IMC, SLBC, Independent Police Complaint Partnership Board, and PPRC would be completed soon. That would institutionalize reforms, improve management systems, and revolutionize operations in a manner that would add value to the human resources of the institutions and boost efficiency and service delivery.
On the constitutional and legislative reform front, drafters at the Office of the AG were far ahead in drafting provisions in the constitution and legislations to fit into the PPRC and ECSL Acts as recommended by the Tripartite Report. A draft report would be produced, and technical consultations held on it before arriving at the Steering Committee for the attention of the President and Parliament.
Mr. Katta urged journalists to support work of the Secretariat and report stories around the tripartite processes without bias or distortion of facts. TSCS would continue to collaborate with SLAJ to maximize information within the public domain on the tripartite.
