Firstly, Hon. Kargbo expressed concern over the continued incarceration of opposition members and supporters for matters relating to the 2023 elections, which he said violates the spirit of Resolution 4 of the National Unity Agreement. He also raised the issue of backlogs in the payment of salaries and entitlements owed to elected opposition officials, stating that failure to address such could negatively impact their terminal benefits and gratuities.

Secondly, Hon. Kargbo addressed recent controversies involving the Clerk of Parliament, describing the situation as a necessary action to preserve the neutrality, professionalism, and integrity of the institution. Finally, he reiterated the importance of swiftly constituting the electoral review oversight committee as recommended in Resolution 20 of the Agreement for National Unity.

In response, President Bio thanked both leaders for their thoughtful submissions and congratulatory messages, assuring them of his continued commitment to the full implementation of the Agreement for National Unity and acknowledged the importance of the APC in Sierra Leone’s governance landscape. The President stated clearly that national unity cannot be achieved without the full participation of the APC.
