Worth repeating. Thank you Mr Sillah and I am very happy to see that the GPU
will challenge this illegal bill in court. Let us hope that the government
does not set out to    intimidate, harass and threaten members of the
Judiciary who hear and have to decide this case.
The illegal laws that this government has consistently come up with every
time they want to get away with taking away the rights of the Gambian people;
a right that is supposed to be protected by our constitution, is ample
evidence that the democracy and rule of law they claim to rule by is a farce,
and if the government thinks that saying one thing and doing quite the
opposite is all it takes to convince people that they are not trampling and
disregarding our constitution, then they are definitley  out of touch with
reality, but thank God that there are still people in our country who are
very much in touch with reality, and who refuse to let our constitution be
disregarded.
