Maybe Mr.jeng and many other Gambians will like us to believe that
Halifa Sallah is just any other Gambian.This  is infact not the case.
Here is a man that most students of my era idolise for his stance
on issues affecting our country during the fafa jawara era;who suddenly
becomes numb during the transition period.

He gave vague engineering specifics of the mercedes benz in the Koro
Ceesay case.What do you called that?Sociologist turn engineer huh.
This is one scenario that really hurt his credibility.Mr.Sallah has an
insurmountable ego and like his critics pointed out ,not the type to
throw in the towel and say folks,iam human and not immune to making
mistakes.Instead he resorted to clintonian methods of explaining what his
role-if any ' is'  during the period in question.

With regards to Waa juwara ,mr jeng forget or disregard to mention the
fact that 'mbarodi' won the niamina constituency by challenging the
establishment candidate of the then P.P.P. This man is therefore not new
to standing up for his convictions.

Halifa has done a great service for our country.But what his critics are
pointing out is the dubious and in a sense the hypocritical stance
that he and others in his party took before and after the coup.We 've
come to see a more diplomatic Halifa not the revolutionary that we
were accustommed to during the jawara dictatorial period.Is it instincts?
or is he scared to stand up for what he beleive in all of a sudden?

well, with all said and done ,its been a great debate.We can all choose
sides but the truth shall ultimately make us free.

God bless Gambia
