There is, in our respectful submission, no such authority,\u201d the brief states.<\/p>\n<p>The Law School, established in 1989 under the Council of Legal Education Act, is governed by a statutory council chaired by the Chief Justice. The brief argues that because Parliament expressly conferred governance of legal education upon that council, the President is excluded from exercising parallel functions under the principle of expressio unius est exclusio alteriorum \u2013 \u201cthe express mention of one thing excludes all others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The brief contends that the Law School falls within the judicial sphere, not the executive, given that the Council of Legal Education is chaired by the Chief Justice and its function of controlling admission to the Bar is intimately connected with the administration of justice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the President to direct an investigation into this body is to assert executive authority over an institution that Parliament deliberately placed under the Chief Justice\u2019s chairmanship,\u201d the brief states. \u201cIt is an encroachment upon the judicial sphere that sets a dangerous precedent. If the Executive can investigate the Law School today, it can investigate the Judicial and Legal Service Commission tomorrow, and the courts themselves thereafter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The brief also dismisses the government\u2019s characterization of the Law School as \u201ca sub-vented institution,\u201d arguing that legal character is determined by enabling legislation, not funding source. \u201cThe Judiciary itself receives government subvention through the Consolidated Fund; this does not make the courts answerable to the Executive,\u201d it notes.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most alarming aspect of the intervention, the brief says, is the statement in the press release that the ACC Commissioner had informed the President that the ongoing ACC investigation would be suspended pending the outcome of the committee\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<p>Section 9 of the Anti-Corruption Act 2008 provides that the Commission \u201cshall not, in the performance of its functions, be subject to the direction or control of any person or authority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The brief questions whether the suspension was voluntary or directed by the Executive. \u201cEither way, the effect is the same. An ongoing criminal investigation by the ACC, initiated at the request of the Council of Legal Education and supported by documentary evidence, has been halted to make way for a non-statutory, non-coercive, ad hoc presidential committee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The brief also raises concerns about the appointment of Dr. Priscilla Schwartz as committee chair, noting that as Attorney-General in 2019 she directly intervened in the Law School by directing the then-Acting Director to proceed on leave pending investigation into an examination malpractice crisis. That directive was contested as ultra vires.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Schwartz is therefore not a neutral figure in the affairs of the Law School. Her appointment as Chair raises reasonable apprehension of bias,\u201d the brief states.<\/p>\n<p>The Council of Legal Education took decisive action against former Law School Director Dr. Abu Bakarr Bangura in March 2026 following the discovery of extensive irregularities, including unauthorised admissions, financial misconduct, procurement violations, academic malpractice, unlawful staff appointments, an unauthorised commercial bank loan, and sexual harassment of female students. The Council accepted Dr. Bangura\u2019s resignation effective 30 June 2026 and referred the matter to the ACC, which launched a probe on 30-31 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The brief argues that the presidential intervention was not prompted by inaction, noting that the Council had already taken every appropriate step before the President announced his own committee on 7 April 2026.<\/p>\n<p>ILRAJ makes several recommendations, including:<\/p>\n<p>Dissolution or reconstitution of the presidential committee under the Commissions of Inquiry Act (Cap. 54) with a gazetted constitutional instrument and formal terms of reference<\/p>\n<p>Resumption of the ACC\u2019s investigation, with criminal and governance probes proceeding in parallel<\/p>\n<p>Reconstitution of the committee\u2019s membership to include persons with direct institutional knowledge of the Law School, and a chair with no prior involvement<\/p>\n<p>Legislative amendments to break the Law School\u2019s monopoly, following recent reforms in Ghana and Kenya<\/p>\n<p>Constitutional entrenchment of the ACC to protect its independence<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNobody disputes that the Sierra Leone Law School requires reform. The allegations of corruption, academic malpractice, and sexual harassment are grave,\u201d the brief concludes. \u201cBut the answer to institutional failure is not the substitution of one unchecked authority for another. The answer is the rule of law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ILRAJ-Law-School-Policy-Brief-April_2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Sierra-Leone<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Sierra-Leone.
