The Parliamentary Service Act, 2007, a private member’s motion, initiated by the then Minority Leader and now the President of Sierra Leone, H.E. Ernest Bai Koroma, was passed into law setting up the Parliament Service Commission and a Parliament Service with eight Departments. In the years following the passing of the Act, a Strategic Plan 2009-2013 was designed to actualise the Parliament Service. With the support of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and other development partners, an organogram of the service and TORs of positions were developed and processes undertaken to recruit new staff who were then trained and coached to perform their specialized tasks.
