APC Parliamentary Group Introduces Monthly Press Conferences to Address National Concerns
The All Peoples Congress (APC) Parliamentary Group, in collaboration with its National Officers, has announced the commencement of a monthly press conference series, scheduled to begin in May 2024. This initiative comes amidst the backdrop of the country's multifaceted challenges in governance, economy, and social welfare, with the APC aiming to foster public engagement on these critical national issues.
Acknowledging the gravity of the situation, the APC intends to use these press conferences as a platform to keep the citizenry informed and actively involved in addressing the pressing challenges facing the nation. Through transparent communication and articulation of the party's stance on crucial matters, the APC seeks to enhance accountability and ensure that the Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP) government fulfills its responsibilities to the nation.
In a statement, the APC emphasized the importance of these press conferences in providing updates on parliamentary activities, including legislative progress and encountered obstacles. Hon. Abdul Kargbo, the APC Leader in Parliament, highlighted that each session would feature insights from former ministers and various experts, offering alternative solutions and perspectives on critical national issues.
The overarching goal of these monthly press conferences is to enrich public discourse and promote a deeper understanding of the policy alternatives and governance strategies proposed by the APC. By engaging with the public and providing a platform for constructive dialogue, the APC aims to foster a collaborative approach to addressing the country's challenges.
The broadcasts of the APC Parliamentary Press Conference will be made accessible on select TV and radio stations, ensuring widespread dissemination of information and encouraging public participation in the discourse.
As the APC Parliamentary Group takes this proactive step towards transparency and accountability, it calls upon citizens to actively participate in these press conferences, contributing to the collective effort to address and overcome the nation's challenges.
This initiative underscores the importance of political parties in facilitating public discourse and driving positive change for the benefit of society.
