Gentlemen,
I understand your concerns about this issue and what it might seem to
look like. Namely, it might look like this reinforces some of the
fears that people have had about UDP being a reincarnation of PPP.
This fear is actually baseless. What evidence does those making this
allegation have? It should be understood that if Mr. Waa Juwara has
in fact been given POA by the former president Jawara it is for Mr.
Juwara to undertake this as an individual not as a UDP party
official. Remember, Mr Juwara is a nephew to the former president.
It does look like this is an ill-advised undertaking for Mr Juwara
because it gives the appearance of some connection between PPP and
UDP; especially because Mr Waa Juwara is an executive of UDP. If it
is indeed true that POA was given to Mr. Juwara, he should relinguish
it and let private attorneys take that role for the PPP or former
members of PPP who have a vested interest in such a case.
(excuse the typos for I am in a hurry)

Subject: Re: Juwara of UDP as POA for Jawara and the former PPP
Harona and Ousman:
May I add that this latest move by Juwara will simply do him more
harm than
the intended good; atleast politically. Such a move by Juwara will
make it
all the more evident that the UDP is an amalgamation of primarily the
PPP,
Darboe and perhaps some other groups. As Harona has rightly opined,
Sir
Dawda needs to stand up and be serious about the matter at hand,
otherwise,
this takes us back to the stinking PPP way of doing things. This is my
observation. Thanks for allowing me to hop in.
Ous Ngum
Note: Harona, its good to hear from you!
