Mr. Tombong Saidy,
please enlighten me a bit, and excuse me being ignorant.

One thing is a president making a declaration in a speech held to celebrate
july 22nd. Our Prime Minister does the same on certain occasions. But that
is not the same as presenting the same idea as a bill in the parliament and
get it through. Does the Gambia constitution give the President the absolute
power  to put decrees into action and then later in a speech just take them
out of action again ?
Is decree 89 no longer existing from the day of july 22nd?

Regards from Asbjørn Nordam
