Officers and Men of RSLAF lauded
the intervention of LAB for bringing access to Justice into the military.
The Executive Director of Legal
Aid Board Mrs. Fatmata Claire
Carlton-Hanciles noted that the RSLAF has an integral role they play in the
justice sector and that they should work in partnership to realize their goals.
She noted that both Service Personnel
and the Civil Populace should be able to access justice in whatever
circumstances.
Brig.Gen.R.T.Alieu said RSLAF is very delighted to work with the board as some of their
personnel have been denied justice in the past, which resulted to the incarceration
of some key junior officers that has surmounted to the failure of these personnel
to execute key duties.
Both RSLAF and LAB are determined
to put an end to the anomalies that have threaten the lives and families of
serving soldiers.
