The political will to harness the power of Government in concert with the self-determination of devoted compatriots form the guiding principle which impels us to tackle the post-flag independence problems of Sierra Leone.  Among these problems is the resolution of land tenure, a sore point in economic development.

Unlike many modern nations of Africa, Sierra Leone still harbors disparity in land tenure.  There are various tribal tenurial systems in the provinces and a common one in the Western Area.  The native tenurial systems prohibit Sierra Leoneans from the Western Area from participating in the enjoyment of land rights because they are NON-NATIVES to the provinces.  However, natives of the provinces are permitted by law to enjoy land rights in the Western Area.
