Biography

ProfileHon Emilia Lolloh Tongi

Born in Buedu, KissiTongi Chiefdom, Constituency 01- Kailahun District, Honourable Emilia LolohTongi is a Banker and Bilingual Specialist with a Higher Diploma in OfficeStudies from the College of Business Studies in France. She had worked in the Bank of Credit and Commerce International in France and had also served as a bi-lingual Secretary at the Sierra Leone Embassy in France.  As a Bilingual Secretary, Honourable Tonginursed a passion for politics and with the call of her people, she decided to take one of her toughest challenges by standing as an independent candidate to compete for the Member of Parliament role in her constituency. Amidst all the challenges from her male competitors; intimidation and financial hurdles, she was able to stand the test of time and won the parliamentary seat to represent her people in the Sierra Leone House of Parliament in March 2018.

Her distinguished fortitude and passion for Accountability, Health, Transportation, and Water issues affecting women and children have made her a very strong advocate for the empowerment of women through effective resource management; stronger and beneficial international relationship cultivation, and better employment opportunities for the people of Sierra Leone.

The above focus and passion did not go unnoticed as Honourable Tongi established herself as a very strong advocate for the above-mentioned issues. She is therefore among the very few women Members of Parliament to serve as Deputy Chairperson for WaterResources Committee. She is also a member of three other Committees; the PublicAccount, Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, and Labour and Social Security Committees.

Honourable Tongi has identified health- especially for pregnant women, safe drinking water, and transportation as major constituency needs for her people and therefore working to ensure better legislation and oversight are done for effective service delivery to her people and to the people of Sierra Leone.
