  • 3. Promotion of Basic Legal Education for the general public

    Citizen’s appreciation of their rights, duties and obligations to the nation and general applicable laws of the land will further promote the rule of law, which is an inevitable ingredient for the growth of democracy in our part of the world.

    It is our belief that acquisition of basic Legal knowledge by citizens would be the basis for economic and social development which in turn creates conditions that are conducive for improved social justice, increased trade and investments which invariably would lead to economic empowerment of the citizens, and ultimately will give rise to a peaceful and more secured country.
