Mr. Kamara leaves the Court to take up his new post as head of Sierra Leone\u2019s Anti-Corruption Commission. His nomination was announced in July by H.E. President Ernest Bai Koroma, and was approved by Parliament earlier this month.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince his arrival at the Office of the Prosecutor, he has served the people of Sierra Leone in the Court\u2019s quest to bring justice for the horrific crimes committed against innocent men, women and children,\u201d Ms. Hollis said. \u00a0\u201cHe is leaving the Office of the Prosecutor to continue to serve the people of Sierra Leone in his new capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Office of the Prosecutor\u2019s loss is the people of Sierra Leone\u2019s gain,\u201d she said. \u201cThroughout his tenure in the Office of the Prosecutor he has demonstrated the highest standards of professionalism and integrity, traits that will ensure his success as Commissioner of the Anti-Corruption Commission.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Kamara\u2019s selection for this position is but one example of the Special Court\u2019s legacy of returning talented experts to the service of their country,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Mr. Kamara joined the Court in January of 2004 and was appointed Deputy Prosecutor in August 2008, the first Sierra Leonean to occupy the post. He also served as Acting Prosecutor.<\/p>\n
