Dr. Marrah stressed the presence of legal expertise within the committee to analyze and propose adjustments to existing laws to fortify electoral integrity and prevent manipulation of future outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>The committee also pledged to address inefficiencies in the election redress mechanism, including the timely resolution of election-related disputes in courts. Dr. Marrah expressed concerns over prolonged legal proceedings and emphasized the need for corrective measures.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the committee intends to conduct an institutional review of electoral management bodies like the Electoral Commission of Sierra Leone (ECSL) and the National Civil Registration Authority (NCRA). Dr. Marrah underscored the importance of assessing the capacity and expertise of these institutions to ensure the credibility and transparency of future elections.<\/p>\n<p>Security and human rights considerations will also feature prominently in the committee\u2019s deliberations, with plans to engage experts to evaluate past incidents and provide recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>Civil society experts will be enlisted to assist in conducting interviews, some of which will be public while others will remain confidential.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Marrah affirmed the committee\u2019s commitment to holding individuals accountable for any actions undermining the electoral process, with recommendations for necessary action to be presented to the President. He underscored the importance of the committee\u2019s findings in shaping actionable and implementable recommendations, in accordance with commitments made by both the government and the APC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/sierra-leone\">Sierra-Leone<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Sierra-Leone.
