Sanyang,
 Thanks for that culled from the POINT  “A citizen of the Gambia who acquires 
the citizenship of another country may, if he or she so desires, retain his 
or her citizenship of the Gambia.”
This means that Gambians can now enjoy dual, citizenship and it was a
section that did not attract so much debate unlike some other sections
during the amendment process."
 I have been lobbying for this underground and heard that it was going to be 
done soon. This was since last year and to see it becoming part of the 
constitution gives some of us in the diaspora not to loose our Gambian 
citizenship by obtaining citizenships of our residning countries. This will 
also be a plus to our kids born outside the country to call Gambia home. 
There are some Gambians in this subscription that makes this possible through 
their personal contacts in the legislation and the executive. I was going to 
point the few out, but I am not sure they will take that very well.

Ousman Jallow Bojang.
