Lawyer Umaru Turay, managing partner at Maverick Chambers and erstwhile legal officer at Guaranty Trust Bbank as well as being one of the most outstanding practitioners in the country, has declared intention to run for the Sierra Leone Bar Association Treasurer.
During the declaration, he said “today I step forward not just in these capacities, but also as a staunch supporter of a shared vision with Wara Serry Kamal – a vision that unites us all for a rejuvenated and financially robust Bar Association.”
He added that it was a vision to inspire learned friends thereby coming forward for the position of Treasurer of the Bar Association with five financial pillars that would underpin our administration. These pillars, he noted, are to manage and design not just to maximize the welfare and resources of the Bar membership, but also building financial partnership with established institution.
He furthered that such essential partnership with key business enterprises within sierra Leone, would help harnessing resources for welfare maximization.
“For too long, if elected as a Treasurer, i will prioritise the creation of an emergency welfare fund especially during times of breverment and severe illness,” Lawyer Uamaru Turay committed.
He added that upholding accountability with quarterly financial updates, transpiracy would be the cornerstone of the Wara administration.
He concluded by assuring that these pillars would transform the treasury of the Sierra Leone Bar Association into a well spring or abundance by ensuring and serving the needs of every member, adding that such a vision could only be realised with support for Wara Serry Kamal and team.
Lawyer Uamaru Turay called on Lawyers alike to commit a future where financial strategies will empower every member and where every Lawyer in Sierra Leone also feels supported and valued.
“Let’s votes with intergrity, transpiracy and financially empowered Sierra Leone Bar Association in order to build upon a progressive leadership and lead the association towards a future of hope, positive change and justice for all,” Lawyer Uamaru Turay canvassed.
