Reports that the business premises of the law firm of Yada Williams & Associates were sealed off by the National Revenue Authority (NRA), despite its awareness of a High Court order restraining such action, are deeply troubling.

When state institutions place themselves above the law, they erode the very legal authority upon which the enforcement of laws depends.

Lawyers are not above the law, and in this matter, Yada Williams is reported to have challenged NRA's demands through lawful legal processes. In those circumstances, the sealing of a legal practice in apparent defiance of a court order constitutes an unlawful interference with the right of lawyers to carry out their duties freely and without intimidation.

It also amounts to an unjust deprivation of livelihood, contrary to the principles embodied in the 1990 UN Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers.

We therefore urge the NRA to respect the constitutional authority of the High Court while pursuing the enforcement of its statutory mandate through lawful means.

The society participated in the 2026 May Day Commemoration held on Friday 1st May, 2026 at the Miatta Conference Centre through a delegation led by its General Secretary Margaret Angella Luciana Davies.

The event, organised by the Ministry of Employment, Labour and Social Security in collaboration with the Sierra Leone Labour Congress and the Sierra Leone Employersโ€™ Federation, is being held under the theme โ€œBuilding Workersโ€™ Power for Sierra Leoneโ€™s Transformative Agendaโ€ and convened under the distinguished grand chief patronage of His Excellency President Julius Maada Bio.

The Society expresses its sincere appreciation to the Ministry for the invitation to participate in this important national event.

The Societyโ€™s participation reflects its continued commitment to engaging with key national stakeholders on issues relating to labour, social justice and the rule of law. As a reputable pressure group, the Society recognises the importance of May Day as a platform for advancing dialogue on workersโ€™ rights, equitable labour practices, and inclusive national development.

Through its presence at this event, the Society reaffirms its dedication to promoting legal awareness, supporting policy conversations, and contributing meaningfully to Sierra Leoneโ€™s transformative agenda.

Today, as Sierra Leone marks 65 years of independence, we pause not only to celebrate our nationโ€™s progress, but to reflect on the turbulent journey that has shaped us as a nation.

As members of the legal profession, we are reminded that independence is not a static achievementโ€”it is a living commitment. It calls on us to uphold justice, defend rights, and strengthen the institutions that sustain our democracy.

There is still work to be done. Access to justice must become more equitable, and the rule of law must remain the foundation upon which our national development stands. Yet, there is every reason for optimism.

Across our courts, our communities, and our younger generation of lawyers, we see dedication, integrity, and a renewed vision for the future.

Let this anniversary be both a celebration and a call to serve with excellence, to lead with principle, and to continue building a Sierra Leone that reflects the promise of its independence.

Happy 65th Independence Anniversary to members of the Lawyersโ€™ Society, members of the bar and of the legal community and to the people of Sierra Leone.

Augustine Sorie-Sengbe Marrah Esq.
President, Lawyersโ€™ Society Sierra Leone

Earlier today, Lawyersโ€™ Society president, Augustine Sorie-Sengbe Marrah, Esq. represented the society at the African Union Economic Social and Cultural Council (AU ECOSOCC) High-Level Multi-stakeholder Dialogue on โ€œReimagining a Just and Resilient Democracyโ€held at Sierra Palms Hotel in Freetown.

As a reputable pressure group committed to advancing the rule of law, democratic governance and accountability, the Society continues to engage meaningfully in national and continental conversations that shape inclusive governance. The ECOSOCC dialogue brought together a broad spectrum of stakeholdersโ€”including the judiciary, electoral bodies, civil society actors and governance practitionersโ€”to reflect on and chart innovative pathways for democratic renewal in Africa.

Mr. Marrahโ€™s participation underscores the Societyโ€™s enduring commitment to contributing its expertise to critical policy and governance discourse, while strengthening partnerships that promote citizen participation, institutional integrity and resilient democratic systems in Sierra Leone and beyond.
