The Constitutional Review Committee (CRC) proposes a new chapter in the revised Constitution to be titled  Citizenship. The 1991 Constitution of Sierra Leone has no provision for the definition of citizenship but the word “citizen” is mentioned in various sections throughout that Constitution.

pp.11-14 contain draft provisions on citizenship, which propose removing gender and discrimination, and also rights to citizenship based on birth in Sierra Leone.
