Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>Hon. Abdul Kargbo, the distinguished leader of APC parliamentarians, took to twitter and issued a stern warning to Security Personnel across Sierra Leone. The warning, directed at those manning various checkpoints, emphatically calls for an end to the intimidation of opposition APC members and the confiscation or scrutiny of their phones.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Hon. Abdul Kargbo, a prominent figure within the political landscape, invoked the Constitution of Sierra Leone to underline the gravity of his concerns. Pointing to Section 26(1) of the Constitution, he stressed that every citizen possesses the unassailable right to align with any registered political party of their choosing. The leader of APC parliamentarians underscored the significance of respecting and upholding citizens\u2019 constitutional rights.<\/p>\n

He emphasized, \u201cSection 26(1) of the Constitution of Sierra Leone graurantees the right of citizens to belong to any registered political party of their choice. Security personnel should stop intimidating the opposition to the extent of confiscating their phones in various checkpoints.\u201dThe specific focus of the warning was the reported intimidation tactics employed by Security Personnel at checkpoints, where opposition APC members have allegedly been subjected to unwarranted scrutiny, including the confiscation of their mobile phones. Hon. Abdul Kargbo made it abundantly clear that such actions are not only a violation of individual rights but also a direct affront to the democratic principles enshrined in the nation\u2019s constitution.<\/p>\n

The leader\u2019s statement serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance required to maintain a thriving democracy. It reflects concerns about the potential erosion of political freedoms and the need for Security Personnel to operate within the confines of the law. The message is aimed at fostering an environment where citizens, regardless of their political affiliation, feel secure in exercising their rights without fear of reprisal.<\/p>\n

As Sierra Leone navigates its democratic path, the warning from Hon. Abdul Kargbo resonates as a call for accountability and adherence to constitutional principles. It is anticipated that this message will prompt a reevaluation of practices at checkpoints, ensuring that Security Personnel uphold the rights of citizens and refrain from actions that could be perceived as attempts to stifle political opposition.<\/p>\n

The coming days will likely see reactions from various quarters, as the nation reflects on the significance of this warning and its implications for the broader democratic landscape.<\/p>\n
