As the nation embarks on this new chapter, the President called upon the Members of Parliament to prioritize the interests of the people above all else and to engage in constructive dialogue and cooperation. By working together, transcending political differences, and seeking common ground, the leaders of Sierra Leone can pave the way for inclusive growth, social harmony, and sustainable development.
