Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>Member of Parliament representing the Western Area Urban District for the Sierra Leone People\u2019s Party (SLPP), Honourable Ibrahim Tawa Conteh has strongly cautioned election observers and the international community which includes the United States, emphasizing the sanctity of Sierra Leone\u2019s sovereignty.<\/p>\n

Hon. Tawa voiced this sentiment in a parliamentary discussion, pointing out that no external entity should assume a position of guiding Sierra Leone on democratic governance matters.<\/p>\n

Awoko reports that during his speech, he acknowledged President Bio\u2019s recent address where the President commended international partners for their role in fortifying democracy over the last two centuries. Hon. Tawa also touched upon global democratic hurdles, noting recent legal actions involving a past U. S. President.<\/p>\n

Highlighting the universal challenges in democratic systems, he drew parallels with the European Union\u2019s current issues with Hungary\u2019s Prime Minister\u2019s aspirations for enhanced judicial control and the indictment related to election involvement concerning former U.<\/p>\n

S. President Donald Trump. Hon. Tawa underscored the stipulations of Sierra Leone\u2019s Public Elections Act, urging election overseers to operate strictly within their mandates as per national legislation.<\/p>\n

He stressed that the fate of Sierra Leone\u2019s democracy is firmly in the grasp of its people, and any hiccups should be tackled within the nation\u2019s democratic channels.<\/p>\n

In wrapping up, he asserted Sierra Leone\u2019s unwavering dedication to a robust, open, and genuine democratic system, urging global respect for the same.<\/p>\n

Recognizing the inherent flaws in all democratic setups, Hon. Tawa reiterated the nation\u2019s and its citizens\u2019 commitment to rectifying these shortcomings. In his view, Sierra Leone, with all its imperfections, remains a beacon of democratic practice that other countries should admire and learn from.<\/p>\n
