Dep. Information Minister Appeals for National Approach

By Musa Conteh

The Deputy Minister of Information and Civic Education, Bockarie A.A. Bawoh, has emphasized that the Constitution is a national document belonging to all Sierra Leoneans and should not be viewed solely through political or partisan lenses.

He called for constitutional reforms that serve the long-term interests of the country and remain relevant regardless of which political party is in power. According to him, the Constitution must be treated as a national instrument that provides the foundation for governance, democracy and the protection of citizens’ rights.

Deputy Minister Bawoh urged citizens to seek accurate and credible information on the Constitutional Amendment Bill rather than relying on speculation, misinformation or partisan interpretations.

He stressed that constitutional amendments must follow established legal and parliamentary procedures, while disagreements arising from the process should be addressed through lawful and democratic institutions.
