Ladies and Gentlemen

Allow me as the public relations secretary of the
Gambia Press Union(GPU) to thank you all for your
words of concern with regards to thie meida commission
bill. As far as we at the Gambia Press Union are
concern, the content of this bill is unconstitutional
and we are not going to cooperate with the government
on its implimentation. GPU as the umbrella
organisation for all the media houses and
practitioners in this country is suppose to be a
member of this commission/tribunal to try the
journalists. But we have already decided that we will
not take up our seat on the commission. All our
members have also agreed to defy the terms of the
bill. The government of the Gambia has two
options:either to allow journalists to carry on with
their duties as enshrined in the constitution or close
down all the private media houses in the country and
send us to mile11. Our position that this is an
unconstitutional attempt is non-necogiatible and
unchangeable. I will have time to send you the content
of the bill by God willing tomorrow.
