An APC member who is not a lawyer has spoken out against the APC's legal action.

Dr. Sylvia Blyden Chides APC Lawyers Over Ostensibly Faulty Papers at Supreme Court

By Awareness Times.

Popular female opposition politician, Dr. Sylvia Olayinka Blyden OOR, who is a senior member of the main opposition All Peoples Congress (APC), has chided Lawyers of her APC party over what appears to be faultily drafted papers filed at the Supreme Court today 28th November 2022.

Whilst openly supporting the objectives of the said Court Case, Dr. Blyden has chided the APC Lawyers who filed constitutional papers against the purported directives of His Excellency the President for the Electoral Commission to conduct elections next year by a Proportional Representation (PR) System.

Writing on her Twitter account this evening, the female maestro who remains to be the only non-lawyer to have singlehandedly argued a Case by herself up at the Supreme Court (the highest court in the country), said that she has contacted one of the lead lawyers who filed, to alert him to go back and better study what they filed for the Supreme Court to adjudicate on.

Dr. Sylvia Blyden said she has also contacted the Supreme Court Registry and so she can confirm that the Supreme Court Registry had already served the ostensibly faultily drafted papers on the Attorney General as by Law established in the 1982 Supreme Court Rules of the land.

However, she has "strongly" called on the APC Lawyers to go back and better study what they had filed.

Dr. Sylvia Blyden wrote that the APC lawyers should "more closely study those Papers filed" but left her thoughts in a cryptic manner as if she did not want to publicly embarrass the APC lawyers on any *mea culpa* they may have committed in their filings.

"I confirm that Supreme Court, by Law, has today physically served on Attorney General, a Case against President Bio's direction of ECSL's Mohamed Kenewui Konneh to use PR for 2023 Elections. I support the Case BUT I've tonight STRONGLY advised Joseph Fitzgerald Kamara Esq. to more closely study those Papers filed" are the words tweeted out by Dr. Sylvia Olayinka Blyden OOR this night.

EU Budget Support Delay: Government Rejects Link to Judicial Case, Clarifies Reason for 2026 Disbursement Shift

Government Clarifies EU Budget Support Disbursement to Sierra Leone Note: According to the Information and Civic Education Minister.  The Government of Sierra Leone has clarified reports linking the European Union’s 2026 budget-support disbursement to ongoing discussions between Sierra Leone and the Kingdom of the Netherlands on judicial cooperation. According to the Government, the European Commission formally communicated its decision regarding the 2026 disbursement in July. The reasons provided, the Government said, related to the timing of Sierra Leone’s request to amend the Financing Agreement and the resulting difficulty of completing the required processes within the 2026 reporting cycle. As a result, the European Commission proposed rescheduling the 2026 and 2027 disbursements to 2027 and 2028 respectively, with the targets for the 2027 disbursement already agreed. The Government acknowledged that the postponement of the 2026 disbursement represents a setback, b...

Musa Tarawalie and the SLPP: What Could Be Behind the Growing Political Tensions?

Why Musa Tarawalie May Be Facing Friction Within the SLPP Opinion Note: This article represents my personal opinion and interpretation of recent political developments. It should not be taken as established fact or as a definitive account of the reasons behind the situation involving Hon. Musa Tarawalie and the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP). The question of why Hon. Musa Tarawalie appears to be facing difficulties within the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) requires an understanding of the broader political calculations ahead of the 2028 general elections. In my view, the SLPP is determined to retain political power in 2028, and there have been indications of deliberate strategies aimed at achieving that objective through democratic and relatively smooth political processes. One of the arguments supporting this view is President Julius Maada Bio’s public assertion that, in Sierra Leone’s democratic political history, no political party has successfully won three...
