Accra, Ghana – The Clerk to the Parliament of Sierra Leone, Mr. Karmoh K. Konteh, has concluded a working visit to Ghana aimed at strengthening inter-parliamentary cooperation and gathering insights into digital governance. During his visit, Mr. Konteh met with his Ghanaian counterpart, Mr. Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, to learn about Ghana’s successful implementation of its Information and Communication Technology (ICT) system within the parliamentary chamber.
The core focus of Mr. Konteh’s visit was to understand how Ghana’s digital transformation has enhanced legislative processes and overall efficiency. He expressed keen interest in the specific technological infrastructure, including the hardware and software companies involved, and how various ICT tools are utilized to streamline legislative procedures, document management, and communication. Ghana’s Parliament has made significant strides in modernizing its operations through technology, and Mr. Konteh is optimistic that similar initiatives could be implemented in Sierra Leone.
The move is part of Sierra Leone’s ongoing effort to embrace digital innovation as a driver of institutional reform, ultimately aiming to promote greater transparency, efficiency, and accessibility in its own parliamentary affairs. The visit highlights the strong ties between Ghana and Sierra Leone, with both countries seeking to learn from each other’s experiences in digital governance. Sierra Leone hopes to replicate Ghana’s success in digital governance, enhancing its own parliamentary processes and services.
