A "successful" meeting was held on Tuesday between President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah, government officials and a delegation of the Inter Religious Council (IRC) of Sierra Leone, Alimamy Philip Koroma, General Secretary of the country's Council for Churches, told IRIN today.
The meeting, which took place at the presidential lodge in Freetown, was a continuation of the efforts by the IRC "to focus on the peace process in Sierra Leone," Koroma said. Also attending the meeting were representatives from two international organisations - the World Conference on Religion and Peace and Norwegian Church Aid. Koroma said the
IRC resolved to use its international contacts to gain access to other organisations and help further the peace process.
When asked if the IRC was satisfied with Kabbah's efforts to achieve peace, Koroma said: "We want him to be consistent on the peace process and not be swayed by detractors. The people want peace and take him at his word and so he needs consistently to set a good example."
