WHO IS HON. CHIEF JOSEPH FITZGERALD KAMARA (JFK)?

Joseph Fitzgerald Kamara is currently Sierra Leone’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice. An appointment he merited from his unblemished stewardship while serving as the country’s Anti-Corruption Commissioner (ACC) where he made immense successes in improving the criminal justice system through the implementation of a robust anti-corruption strategy which uplifted the country’s anti-corruption image and profile.

Prior to his current position, JFK served in many high-profile positions after graduating in 1989 with an LLB (Hons) degree from Fourah Bay College, University of Sierra and an LL.M, in International Comparative Law from the Southern Methodist University in Texas, USA.
JFK has served in many capacities and made great contributions with positive impacts on the country:

  • As the current Attorney General and Minister of Justice of Sierra Leone, JFK strengthened and popularised the Sierra Leone Legal Aid Board (SLLAB), to uphold the fundamental freedoms of his countrymen by bringing justice and fair play to the doorsteps of the voiceless and the “forgotten-majority”.
  • September 30, 2016, JFK was Keynote Speaker at the International Humanitarian Law Dialogs, Nuremberg, Germany.
  • 2010-2016: Commissioner, Anti-Corruption Commission of Sierra Leone.
  • April 2015: Honorary member of the Africa Union Advisory Board on Corruption.
  • JFK was First Vice-president of the West African Bar Association (WABA) and President of the Sierra Leone Bar Association.
  • 2008: JFK was Deputy Prosecutor of the Special Court for Sierra Leone.
  • 1990: Prosecutor, Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Sierra Leone Law Officers Department.
  • 1990-2013: Member of the Sierra Leone Bar Association and lecturer in International Criminal Procedure and Practice at the Sierra Leone Law School.

Winner of the prestigious AFRICAN ACHIEVERS AWARDS for Excellence in Leadership.
JFK is a Man of the People! He stands by the People in times of need! He defends the Rights and Freedoms of the People through his selfless drive in promoting sustainable development, peace and prosperity in every nook and cranny of the Sierra Leone community!

  1. And I might add to that very impressive resume that Mr. Fitzgerald is a member of a party that has served two consecutive terms. Given human nature in politics and in view of the consolidation of democracy in this country,a third, consecutive term for the APC, led by whosoever, would cast a foreboding shadow on the polity of the state. Left to politicians alone, they would like to see their party in power for decades. It’s just human nature.
