The high-power judicial delegation from the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, had concluded an important meeting in Freetown last week, hosted by the Sierra Leone Judiciary. (Photo: Chief Justice Komba Kamanda hosts foreign judges in Freetown).

The conference, held from April 20 to 24, 2026, at the Atlantic Hotel, Lumley Beach, comprised 12 Chief Justices and 15 Judges and other distinguished judicial personalities from ECOWAS countries in the sub-region.

According to the press statement dated 14^th April 2026, by the Sierra Leone Judiciary, the conference was hosted under the current chairman of the Chief Justice of Sierra Leone, Justice Komba Kamanda. (Photo).

The ECOWAS Judicial Council’s primary objective is to serve as a key platform for strengthening judicial cooperation, promoting the rule of law, and enhancing the administration of justice within the sub-region.

Sierra Leone, under the illegal President Julius Maada Bio, needs the rule of law now. Unlike the West African sub-region, Sierra Leone is noted for electoral thievery, human rights violations, crimes against humanity, illicit drug trades, and a cocaine hub in the region.

As a consequence of the accountability basket awaiting the numerous suspects in the SLPP and APC parties, the flame for justice is shining brightly in Freetown, where the offices of the ICC and the Residual Special Court for Sierra Leone RSCSL are patiently waiting.

The ICC Chief Prosecutor, Karim Khan KC, talking to the stakeholders, is a clear indication that the accountability basket that emanated from the Tripartite Agreement, with 84 plus 1 recommendations, is alive and kicking.

This is welcome news for the patriotic Sierra Leoneans who believe in electoral justice and the 2023 elections. The instituting of judges from ECOWAS countries for accountability purposes is timely and welcome. (Photo: Foreign judges in Freetown).

The formation of the ECOWAS Panel of Judges is no coincidence, happening at a time when the international moral guarantors are tightening the judicial screws on those who defrauded the voters in the June 24, 2023, elections.

Everyone knows Bio stole the 2023 elections, and as the ECOWAS Court supersedes all laws in ECOWAS nations, the tribunal will be set up to probe anyone involved in the 2023 fraud. The doubting Thomases who openly say Tripartite is a scam should wake up and sit up.
