By Kabs KanuIt was another day of stunning drama in Sierra Leone yesterday as the Sierra Leone Bar Association was surprisingly blocked from entering the premises of the Bintumani International Conference Centre to stage their annual general meeting . Alfred Kamanda accused the government of President Julius Maada Bio of interfering in the affairs of the association including the recent Kenema elections. How did Tuma Gento lose the backing of the country’s major power brokers? This led to a big split in the Bar Association , giving rise o the formation o aerial group called the Sierra Leone Law Society. The Sierra Leone Law Society—officially operating as The Lawyers’ Society—is an alternative, non-profit professional association for lawyers founded following disputed elections within the traditional Sierra Leone Bar Association (SLBA).
