Why would anybody want to drag Ousman Jammeh's name in the mud.All that has been said about him is the truth and nothing but the truth.This is a guy that can cash in on all situations. he is so sleek and sly and is ready to sell anybodys soul including his own for position. The guy is so ambitoius that he is blinded by it, and boy he is greedy. Ousman jammeh thinks that he is the only guy who is good enough for any position. When Isatou Combeh Njie was appointed as Judicial secretary, Ousman jammeh almost went mad with rage. He felt that that was HIS position even though Mrs Njie was over five years his senior at the bar.He complained to everyone including going to a marabout to jettison Mrs Njie from a post he considered his own. He spent his time mixing up Mrs Njie with the CJ and the former AG just to get her position, well he got it now and lets see the miracles he is going to perform. Ousman Jammeh is a man who did not hesitate to report certain members of the Judiciary in the early days of Jammeh's regime that they belonged to the old regime thus causing those people to be fired immediately by powerfull Singhateh at te time. Believe me if you hear that Ousman has accepted the post, please dont be surprised. They deserve each other. I shall keep you posted on objective and dirty facts that I know about Ousman Jammeh. >From: Mansour Ceesay <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: The Gambia and related-issues mailing list ><[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Re: IS OUSMAN JAMMEH GOING TO BE THE NEXT AG? >Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 16:20:38 +0100 > >On Fri, 21 Jul 2000 09:33:46 EDT Dampha Kebba ><[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > > Jammeh studied in Malaysia at a time when that country >would not > > allow the Gambians to do their Bar exams.
