Eliminating Jury Trials In Sierra Leone: A Potential Threat To Our Fragile Democracy Or A Step In The Right Direction?
In nations governed by democratic principles, such as Sierra Leone, the institution of the jury system functions as a vital mechanism for overseeing governmental authority.

The ordinary Sierra Leonean does not need to be reminded that their economy is in shambles, the currency is in a freefall and that their healthcare, water and electricity services are undependable. They live it, and they know it. What they do not know is how their aspirants and leaders plan to fix the problems. That is why manifestos matter.
