The wise bird will always be in a happy mood if a sitting government toes the line of the previous government as long as it concerns development of the country and in the interest of the general populace.

From what the bird understands government is all about continuity, the new government taking from where the previous ends.

Without prejudice, it seems the new Attorney-General and Minister of Justice Alpha Sesay who is the principal adviser to the government is really doing his work as expected of him.

According to report the bird received from the corridors of power, the Minister has come-out clearly that, government has in totality accepted the recommendations of Justice Edmond Cowan Constitutional Review Committee to have a fixed date for the conduct of Presidential, Parliamentary and Local Council elections in the country, that government has also agreed to move from the 55% threshold for the election of President to 50+1, and that the revised Constitution will have new chapters to strengthen local government, decentralization, Public Administration, learning environment and national security.

The report further stated that, a Technical Committee has been established at the office of the Attorney-General to work on technical details that has to do with what the report referred to as entrenched and non-entrenched clauses in the 1991 Constitution.

The report also talked about the age limit for anybody (Sierra Leonean) who may want to contest for the position of President to be 40 years and above.

Particularly for the fixed date for elections, Bra Parrot believes is to avoid the issue of consulting the President and Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone (ECSL) before an election is conducted in future.

On this important topical issue about new Constitution that will soon come to play, the bird went out to sound the views of Lawyers, teachers, bankers, lecturers, market-women, drivers, students, ghetto-boys and as well as journalists to have their own say on it.

All those he met expressed satisfaction over the news, that if the new constitution comes to fruition, no president will just come one morning and announce a date for an election.

All the people supported the coming of the new Constitution, and raised their thumps up for the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice for his efforts.

The bird will continue to monitor the process as it unfolds.
