NAMs Approve Appointment Of Ombudsman And Deputies By Bubacarr K. Sowe
The National Assembly has approved the appointment of the Ombudsman and two deputy Ombudsmen on Tuesday. The Vice President, Isatou Njie-Saidy, presented the motion seeking the approval of Alagie Sowe as Ombudsman, Elizabeth Renna and Ebrima Mbye, as deputies to the Ombudsman, to parliamentarians. The Vice President described the trio as persons of good character and standing in the community, credentials of which are preconditions in the execution of the task assigned to them by the Constitution and the Ombudsman Act.
Paul Mendy, the National Assembly Member for Kombo South and Chairman of the Ombudsman Select Committee, in seconding the motion, urged his colleagues to give their approval to the appointments.
Sulayman Joof, NAM for Serrekunda West, said the three persons have all served the country in different areas before their appointments as Ombudspersons. Babanding Daffeh of Kiang Central described the Omubudsman and his deputies as people of “integrity” who have passed through different stages with vast experiences.
The Majority Leader and Member for Serrekunda East, Fabakary Tombong Jatta, said the creation of the office of the Ombudsman has provided an opportunity for public officials to seek redress in their workplace.
The Minority Leader and Member for Kiang West, Momodou Sanneh said the appointments are in the right direction, but also a challenge.
