Correction, meant to say the former provides policy which the latter
implements such policies.

PPP, GPTC was still serving the country well over 5yrs after jawara,
central bank is still serving the purpose it was establised for, SSHFC is
also still serving its purpose and beyond; GCAA outlived Jawara, tourism is
now said to be the largest contributor to the GDP and was the second
largest contributor under jawara etc etc .

civil service remains to serve any government that may be elected into
office. The latter's role is to provide policy that the former must
implement. Governments only take political responsibility, not the criminal
liability of civil servants or public official.

a rebel in the office... I eventually asked to be transferred out of the
corporate office to the control tower... where it was purely professional
and had nothing to do with any hiring or corporate bureaucracy... you may
ask the people I used to work with at the office if you care to validate my
points. I was an admin in the office when literally a list of people to
hire from the VP Sabally's office was handed over for hiring... Ask anyone
who has worked in government institutions in Gambia and see what the hiring
mechanism were... It was whom you know....

organization and it was corrupt to the bone, did you reveal the corruption
or speak about it at all, or did you just go along with it for fear of
losing your job (since you said it was also politically corrupt).
Politically corrupt means the people who ran or worked at the CA were
crooks, rogues, and perhaps criminals.

>> Daffeh, I would absolutely agree with you that some of these
organizations got started during the PPP time, may be you and I are looking
at institutions in different perspectives, I am not looking at the
initiation of the ideas but strengthening and building independent viable
institutions that will withstand the test of time... unfortunately, it is
not enough to initiate and idea, they had the responsibility to build
independent institutions free from the political machine... The judiciary
certainly was somewhat functioning but the institution itself was not
built independent of the political machinery.... The Pakistani judiciary
comes to mind when they flatly rejected Musarif's meddling with the supreme
court... Those judges relying on the strength of the institution refused to
bow down to government...
>>
>> The public transportation, the Parastatals you talked about existed -
great ideas but they were infested with corruption to the bone... I was at
the Gambia Civil Aviation as a new Semi - independent government entity but
it was corrupted to the bone and was only a matter of time before it
crumbled. Not a single week went by in Gambia without reading massive
mismanagement of public funds and public corporations failing like dry
moss... the Cooperative union, the Gambia commercial and Investment Bank (a
creation of the Central bank), the GPMB, the GUC etc and etc were all
created but functionally deficit.
>>
>> May be you were too young to understand what was going on or should I
say you need to go back and read your historical facts about institutions
in the Gambia... The excuse that when we obtained independence we did not
have anything is a cheap and false excuse.. The very purpose of our
independence was to take our country into something greater than just
bringing together people within a geographical boundary and call it a
country. I contest that our leaders taking our nation from the ruins of
colonialism to independence with minimal progress is no excuse... a>
