>Ebrima,
>The fight will come to a head sooner rather than later. First, the
>opposition will challenge the constitutionality of the dismissals of
>Solomon
>Tilewa Johnson and Mr. Saja Fatty as Chairman and member of the IEC
>respectively.
>The action by Cheyassin is wrong, unethical, immoral and illegal. They are
>obviously running scared because of the open opposition to this regime.
>They are also certain that they will be defeated at the polls, be it local
>or national, because of their lack of legitimacy and moral authority in the
>eyes of the ordinary Gambian.
>
>A second alternative which will be pursued concurrently is to take the
>matter to the people and to the streets, if necessary. We cannot take this
>lying down.
>
>On a related matter, there are senior civil servants seriously thinking of
>downing tools. We cannot continue to keep the machinery of Government going
>when Yahya and Cheyassin continue to disparage the character and careers of
>civil servants.
