**A CALL TO CONSCIENCE: PROTECT DEMOCRACY, NOT COMPROMISE IT*By Joseph Fitzgerald Kamara (JFK)Honourable Members of Parliament,History remembers leaders who chose principle over expediency and the national good over political interest.
I appeal to you, not as partisans, but as custodians of the Constitution, to let your conscience guide your decision.
