Confirmed: President Bio Reinstates Hon. Umarr Paran Tarawally as Clerk of Parliament

Claim: President Bio reinstates Hon. Paran Tarawally as Clerk of Sierra Leone Parliament.


Verdict: TRUE


Context: A LinkedIn post by Abdul Rahman Bah claiming that President Bio has reinstated Hon. Paran Tarawally as Clerk of Sierra Leone Parliament has gained significant attention on social media platforms, including WhatsApp and Facebook. This development follows the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) clearing Hon. Paran Tarawally of any wrongdoing. The ACC had referred the matter to President Bio for 'Administrative Action.'


Evidence:


  1. Direct Confirmation from Hon. Paran Tarawally: Sierra Check reached out to Hon. Paran Tarawally, who confirmed that he had been reinstated as Clerk of Parliament. His direct confirmation is a primary source validating the claim.

  2. Confirmation by Melvin Tejan Mansaray: Melvin Tejan Mansaray, a seasoned parliamentary journalist and political pundit, also confirmed the claim. Mansaray’s extensive experience and credible position within the parliamentary journalism sphere lend substantial weight to his confirmation.

  3. Senior Parliamentary Staff Confirmation: An anonymous senior parliamentary staff member corroborated the claim, confirming to Sierra Check that Hon. Paran Tarawally reported to work on August 5, 2024. Although the staff member requested not to be quoted, this confirmation further validates the reinstatement.

Conclusion: The claim that President Bio has reinstated Hon. Paran Tarawally as Clerk of Sierra Leone Parliament is verified to be true. Multiple reliable sources, including Hon. Tarawally himself, a well-respected parliamentary journalist and a senior parliamentary staff member, have confirmed the reinstatement.


Hon. Tarawally's return to work on August 5, 2024, serves as additional evidence of his reinstatement.
