Bar Association President Mrs Rhoda Nuni has confirmed to Awoko that the Extra-ordinary General Meeting (EGM) slated for Monday 25 June 2018, did not hold and that the meeting was cancelled.
This was as a result of objections raised by some of its members including Jusu Kallon, who pointed out that the said notice fails to comply with the provisions of section 187 (7) and 189 (1) and (3) of the Companies Act 2009, which mandates that Extraordinary General Meetings be held after the receipt of 21 days notice by members prior to the date of the said meeting.
“The notice of my objection to the holding of the proposed meeting scheduled for Monday, 25 June 2018,” Kallon stated, “is hereby given on the grounds that the notice falls short of giving 21 days’ notice to members with counting beginning from the date the notice was sent to all members as required by section 189 of the Companies Act 2009, which binds the Sierra Leone Bar Association – a company limited by guarantee.”
Mrs Nuni confirmed that because they have only about a week more in office, there will not be enough time to issue a 21 days notice there the holding of the meeting had been cancelled along with whatever was on the agenda that the proposed meeting was supposed to deliberate on.
Wednesday June 27, 2018.
