Sanusi: Thanks for the correction. Hamat did a wonderful job during his last stint at NAM. For a long time, it seemed as if he was the only one "holding the fort" in parliament. He must however disassociate himself from the Sheriff Dibba, who as speaker of the house does not believe in debate, as it pertains to politics and parliamentary duties. Sheriff has also bought into the whole "national interest" concept. This IMO is a surefire way for Hamat to still keep his eyes on the prize by challenging the legality of some moves made by the govt.. Sheriff needs to twist his 14th century admiral hat around and snap out of it. The honeymoon and celebration is over as it pertains to his appointment to parliament. We understand the suffering that he went through after years of hard work for his country, but he owes it more to the Gambian people as opposed to Yahya Jammeh to be a good speaker of parliament. But the question is whether he is capable? -Yus <<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>> To view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] <<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>
