*SLeCAA pays courtesy call on US Ambassador to Sierra Leone*

The Commissioners of the Sierra Leone Commission on Arms and Ammunition (SLeCAA), together with cross-section of staff and a representative from the Commission’s Advisory Board has paid a courtesy call on the United States Ambassador to Sierra Leone at his Southridge-Hill Station building in Freetown.

The Commission had initiated a resource mobilization drive from local and international partners aimed at securing support from partners and ensuring that illegal manufacture, trade, use and possession of arms are regulated accordingly. This initiative is part of efforts to enhance the Commission’s capacity to address critical issues and ensuring a peaceful society.

In his brief remarks to the US Ambassador, Commissioner of SLeCAA Rev.Col. (Rtd) Binneh K. Conteh give a brief history of the Commission and highlighted some of the intervention areas and the challenges faced by the commission in the regulation of arms and ammunition.

Through the engagement of international partners like the U.S. government, the Commission aims to mobilize essential resources and funding to strengthen national arms management systems.

These efforts are crucial to reducing the proliferation and trafficking of arms and ammunition in Sierra Leone, while supporting regional and international security goals.

This move underscores the Commission’s commitment to improving the security landscape and promoting sustainable peace through international cooperation in addressing cross-border security challenges and ensuring the safety and stability of Sierra Leone.

In his response, US Ambassador to Sierra Leone, Bryan David Hunt assured the Commission of the US support to maintained peace, security and democracy. He added that the US government does its support through the United Nations agencies, thus nothing that direct bilateral support is ‘highly unlikely’.

He added that unlike the licensing processes, there is high possibility for the US government to support the marking of arms and the destruction of obsolete arms and ammunition.
