GOOD afternoon, Today is a great day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. It is a great honour and privilege to be at this historic event today, a day we will never forget. This special High court criminal session held in Segbwema is a testimony to the fact that Government has not forgotten us. The Judiciary\u2019s effort to bring justice right at our doorstep will ensure that our people have quick access to the court system, significantly the highest court of Sierra Leone. About 14 cases will be dealt with during the current session. What we are witnessing here today is also experienced in other parts of the country, as part of the Government\u2019s commitment to fulfil a core Manifesto promise to advance Rule of Law, promote justice, human rights and strengthen the justice delivery system. <\/strong>Together, we should profoundly thank the Honourable Chief Justice Desmond Babatunde Edwards for fast tracking the Government\u2019s promise to the People, to ensure increased access to justice.<\/strong><\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
