an annual Islamic conference organized
by the Ahmadiyya Mission, was over
the weekend held in the southern

occasion that has been declared
by the founder of the Ahmadiyya

that the conference is an occasion
where members of the Jama'at meet
to acquire and share more knowledge
and broaden their brotherhood ties,

As
corruption was identified by many
as one of the ills that is preventing
the development of Sierra Leone,
and also one of the factors that
led to the almost eleven-year rebel
war, His Excellency President Ahmad

governance initiated the setting
up of the Anti-Corruption Commission
in an effort to address this devastating
ill in our society.
To
further accelerate the effective
and efficient working of the Commission,
an Anti-Corruption Strategy document
has been formulated with inputs
from development partners like the
UNDP, the World Bank, Civil Society,
etc.
The

should be total and that all segments
