Karim,
 
I am proud of DA for this effort. It was an undaunting task given  the 
difficulty in retrieving the info and the unprecedented frequency of  sackings, 
resignations,retirements, wanton disappearances, etc that is the life  of the 
public servant in Gambia.
 
I want to take this opportunity to commend Yahya for announcing that he  does 
not intimidate lawyers and does not try to affect judicial demarche. I  think 
this is a hopeful sign and Yahya should be encouraged in that direction. I  
want to share with him though that our disdain is not because we think  he 
physically intimidates, maims, illegally imprisons, or kills our fellow  citizens, 
or that he advocates for such. But that these activities occur  
un-investigated by independent authority, and un-prosecuted while he is our  president. I 
think he can further return trust and national security if he  pronounces 
publicly that whoever engages in such is persona non-grata and that  it is at his 
displeasure and wrath that they will complete such decrepit  activity. In other 
words, Yahya should set the tone for propriety and disdain  for illicit 
activity to nurture peace and tranquility in the nation.
 
Further, he should apologise to all his citizens for the wrongs that have  
been committed and vow to investigate them and encourage the judiciary to  
dispense justice without fear or favour of him. He should apologise not because  he 
has any part in those crimes, but that just like the citizens, he abhors the  
crimes and the criminals. He should encourage the criminals to turn 
themselves  in and cooperate with the Judiciary and for those criminals who are dead or 
have  been killed, he ought to investigate the criminals who killed them and 
the  crimes that the dead criminals had committed. I think this will make me  
immensely proud of Yahya and it will engender comfort with him from the  
citizenry.
 
These matters are pending:
The murder of Koro Ceesay
The murder of Deyda Hydara
The attempted murder of Lawyer Ousman Sillah
The illegal detention of Mariam Denton
The illegal detention of Duta Kamaso
The injury and damage to Pa Sallah Jeng
 
It is not the end of the list of our disquiets but Yahya will have gone a  
long way in addressing these above.
 
I want to thank him in advance for his considerations in the case of our  
friend Fatou Jaw Manneh and I wish to encourage him to release Kanyiba Kanyi  
without prejudice and to get to the bottom of Chief Manneh's abduction and  
continued disappearance.
 
I pray for strength and fortitude for him and the mercy of Almighty Allah  as 
he trains on propriety and goodwill. I congratulate him and his wife on the  
arrival of their newborn son. May Allah guide and keep them.
 
Masoud. MQDT. Darbo. Al Mutawakkil.

Folks this a list or  A to Z of  secretaries of state that served under Yahya 
Jammeh. The list was done by D A  Jawo but I don't know whether is a complete 
list.

Hi friends of the forum,
Please find below a list of the  ministers/secretaries of state (in 
alphabetical order) who I can remember as  having once served in the AFRPC/APRC regime 
since its formation in 1994 but  were sacked/retired/resigned, an average of 
about five removals per annum. I  compiled it just for the fun of it, but it is 
quite possible that I left  someone out. I can assure you that it was not 
quite an easy exercise, but I  think it was worth it just for the record. 
Regards
Demba  Jawo
