While acknowledging that the executive leadership he headed was not without its recent challenges and shortcomings, we recognise the Late Hon. Alhaji Mansaray as an astute statesman, a committed political leader, and one of the pillars behind the growth and successes of the APC Party.

His contributions to the political landscape and the development strides recorded by his party have left an indelible mark on the history of our beloved nation. At this difficult time, we extend our heartfelt condolences to his immediate family, the leadership and membership of the APC Party, and the people of Sierra Leone.

We pray that Almighty Allah grants him eternal rest and gives all those he leaves behind the strength and fortitude to bear this irreparable loss. May his soul rest in perfect peace! P.S. We invite you to explore our recently published analysis in a book, “Building a Nation: Good Governance and Democratic Principles in Sierra Leone.”
