The exemplary submission of Hon. Mems on the ongoing debate of the Financial Act of 2025 left both sides of Parliament in an eye-catching situation.

While she was observing as a first term female Member of Parliament representing Port Loko district, for all they could be passive of Hon. Mems was that she was an accomplished business woman and a philanthropist whose name has spread beyond the reach of her physical presence.

Therefore, showcasing another distinct aspect of her innate qualities in the ongoing debate gave a defining moment in the well of Parliament.

By Parliamentary procedures, the right Hon Memunatu Jalloh introduces herself as one of the female MPs representing Port Loko district, and precisely Masimera chiefdom.

She went further to articulate her perspective with clarity, focusing on the importance of equitable tax reforms and its potential to stimulate economic growth and livelihoods.

Her arguments were bolstered by data, illustrating how the proposed measures in the 2025 Financial Act, and made special reference to peg 27, paragraph 88 of the document that has to do with providing support to Small Business Enterprises that is largely owned by women and how it has benefited working families.

Additionally, as part of her submission, she also emphasized the high interest rates charged by the financial institutions as a very prominent challenge and which has served as an economic burden to traders.

The right Hon. Mems adeptly talked on the need to focus on the livelihoods of the ordinary people.

In conclusion, Hon Mems climaxed her submission on one of the most talked about government agendas, the Feed Salone.

She said it needs to be speed up as the bulk of the population is still struggling to eat a meal per day.

Moreover, she cited an IMF report that ranked Sierra Leone as the second poorest nation in the world, a clarion call of urgency for food sufficiency in the country.

At this point, she demanded for a general answer on what went wrong or where this SLPP led government have missed it, and made a humble appeal to revisit the drawing board “so that our people will be alleviated from this system suffering.”

It is therefore safe to state, her well-researched contribution as a first term MP not only showcasing her commitment to serving the people but also underscored the fact that she is a rising voice in Parliament.
