In response to the recent attempted coup on the 26th, Joseph Fitzgerald Kamara (JFK), a prominent member of the All People’s Congress (APC) and legal counsel for Former President Ernest Bai Koroma, has vehemently condemned the incident while emphasizing the importance of a thorough and impartial investigation.

Known for his unwavering commitment to justice, JFK expressed his concerns over potential attempts to exploit the situation for political gains and stifle dissent. In a statement, he declared, "I have silently observed unfolding events with keen interest. Time my voice is raised above the fray. Whether the incident was a foiled coup or security breach, it is outrightly condemned." This condemnation underscores the gravity of the situation, as the 26th attempted coup sent shockwaves through the nation, prompting questions about the stability of the political landscape.

As a key figure within the APC and the legal representative for Former President Ernest Bai Koroma, JFK's words carry significant weight, signifying a unified stance against any threat to democratic order. Beyond his legal acumen, JFK brings a deep understanding of the political intricacies that have defined Sierra Leone’s recent history.

In his statement, JFK also cautioned against the potential misuse of the investigation for political gains, emphasizing the need for the government not to weaponize the inquiry to silence critics. This delicate balance between maintaining national security and upholding democratic values is crucial, and JFK's call for a fair and impartial inquiry reflects a commitment to justice that transcends party lines.

JFK's statement comes at a critical time when the nation grapples with the aftermath of the attempted coup. The government faces the challenging task of conducting a thorough investigation without compromising transparency and accountability. The international community will undoubtedly closely monitor developments as Sierra Leone navigates this complex chapter in its political history.

As the nation awaits the outcome of the investigation, JFK’s vocal condemnation serves as a reminder of the paramount importance of safeguarding democratic norms and ensuring that the pursuit of justice upholds, rather than undermines, the principles it seeks to protect.
