Thanks to funding from the UNDP, the Centre for Accountability and Rule of Law (CARL) and the Justice Sector Coordination Office (JSCO) are currently organizing a two-day workshop with Members of Parliament, including Members of the Legislative Committee, on the draft Criminal Procedure Act.
The objective is to introduce Members of Parliament to the draft Criminal Procedure bill and offer them a chance to ask questions and make recommendations for strengthening the text of the law before it is officially introduced in Parliament. The event is taking place at the Sierra Palm Resort, Freetown.
If passed into law, the revised Criminal Procedure Act will make the criminal justice system fairer and more accessible, as well as respond to the justice needs of all.
