Freetown, 13th March, 2026 — Opposition politician Dr. Kaifala Marah, co‑chair of Sierra Leone’s Tripartite Committee, has sharply criticized the government’s latest feedback session on the Agreement for National Unity (ANU) and the committee’s recommendations, describing it as “flawed and misleading.”
In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), Dr. Marah, who represents the All People’s Congress (APC) in the committee, said that nearly three years after the ANU was signed, “nothing significant has been achieved under the Tripartite Committee Recommendations.”
He pointed to unresolved court cases and missing APC files as evidence of stalled progress, questioning why the presidency has failed to respond to meeting requests from the party’s leadership. “This is contrary to Resolution 6, which calls for re‑engineering and rekindling relationships at the highest level of our political ecosystem,” he noted.
Marah’s remarks underscore growing frustration within the opposition over what they see as half‑measures in implementing reforms meant to ease political tensions following the disputed June 24, 2023 elections. “Half measures are half measures. Nothing more,” he wrote.
The Tripartite Committee was established to review electoral processes and recommend reforms as part of the ANU, a deal brokered to foster national unity between the ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) and the APC.
With the committee’s deadline approaching, Marah’s comments raise fresh questions about whether its work will deliver the meaningful changes Sierra Leoneans were promised.
