"As you are aware, the impeachment procedure is a constitutional coup, and  
therefore depends wholly on a governmental system grounded in the rule of law  
with its concommittant instrument of checks and  balances

To tread on the impeachment territory in our  current political reality is at 
best suicidal. I don't think Mr Dibba has any  suicidal inclination."
 
 
For Dibba to initiate impeachment of Yaya Jammeh  is not only suicidal  as Mr 
Darboe puts it, but to be honest, it is laughable because  to think that in a 
body where the opposition is very much a minority and  Jammeh's rubber stamp 
stooges constitute the majority whose job is not to serve  the people, but 
rather to never dare to actually engage in anything  that is contrary to their 
benefactor's wishes, that they would cooperate in  such a venture, much less one 
initiated by one of them is too ridiculous to even  contemplate.
 
My view on the matter is that if Dibba indeed did initiate such a venture,  
he did it not because he believed that it would get anywhere, but because it is 
 a last ditch effort by a desperate man who knows in his heart that this 
regime  is in it's last throes and he realizes that he will have to face  Gambians 
after the fact and this was his attempt to save face and save himself  
perhaps? However, either way, it is a case of too little too late for Mr  Dibba 
since no matter what he does now, the fact that he mortgaged his self  respect by 
practically selling his soul to this regime cannot be  erased by such a 
ridiculous effort at this late date.
 
Indeed, Dibba like all those disgraced, used, abused  and ultimately  
discarded by Jammeh deserve what they get, no doubt about it..
