Executive Director of Centre for the Coordination of Youth Activities, CCYA has urged the Constitutional Review Committee to include vulnerable groups in the review process.
Ngolo Katta told a one day national consultative engagement on Sierra Leone’s 1991 constitutional review process in Freetown that committee members could not do it alone.
He commended UNIPSIL and the National Youth Commission for providing the necessary support for the conduct of the training whose objective he said was to provide an opportunity for vulnerable groups such as youth, women, and persons with disability to know about the process.
Deputy youth commissioner, Aminata Sillah said young people were highly represented in the CRC and that it was up to them to effectively and adequately represent their constituents.
Head of outreach CRC, Mohamed Farry Kargbo explained that they had set up sub-committees to effectively look into various areas of the constitution. He said terms of reference had been developed for sub committees and they would soon start discussions.
