Freetown — Professor Joe Pemagbi, Sierra Leone's Permanent Representative to the United Nations has reportedly presented the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC)'s Recommendations to the United Nations General Assembly requesting Libyan leader, Colonel Mohamar Ghadhafi to pay reparations to Sierra Leone for having trained rebel commanders who actively participated in the country's decade old vicious conflict.
Presidential Spokesman, Kemoh Kanji Daramy Thursday confirmed to Concord Times that the issue has been presented to the UN General Assembly, Security Council and Economic and Social Council of the United Nations for consideration.
He says government is currently working on a white paper on the TRC Report that would formally be presented to the United Nations for additional consideration.
This revelation was made after President Kabbah's recent visit to Libya and other north African states as part of the existing South-South Cooperation.
"The President was in Libya to attend the 7th Congress of the World Islamic Call Society in Tripoli," he said and added that the two leaders spoke about new Libyan investments in Sierra Leone and the prospect of a second ferry expected to arrive this month to ease movements between Freetown and Lungi.
But Daramy did not state whether the two Heads of State held talks on the issue of reparation from Libya.
