Here we go again with the inmates running the asylum. Bunch of mental midgets and corrupt mandarins being handed the reins of government. God help Gambia. This is a ‘rethread’ of the same bunch that slaughtered our children, steal from us, rendered our people poorer, while overseeing reverse development in the country. Even if some of these appointees were competent, the Dictatorship will NOT allow them to do what is right for the country. But what we have is a Dictatorship (all right) lording over INCOMPETENT people that are too scared to think straight. Isatou Njie-Saidy: the very woman that was acting president when our children were slaughtered in broad daylight by Yaya security forces. To what extent would this woman go to perpetuate the Dictatorship? She could NOT help defenseless three-year-olds on that fateful day on April 10, 2000. All hell broke loose in her INCOMPETENT hands and our children were massacred. Did she talk sense to the Dictatorship to allow the children to carry on their peaceful demonstration against the lawlessness in the country? No! the woman went along with Yaya’s diabolical orders from Cuba that the RVH mortuary should be filled with dead bodies of our children. This woman does NOT belong in a ‘cabinet’. She belongs in jail. Captain Singhateh: what more can be said about the man’s crimes? At least he has been DEMOTED in this ‘cabinet’. ‘Minister for Works and Infrastructure’. I hope the moron realizes that it is one and the same thing. He’s been striped of some power and that power now reposes on someone else more competent than he is. What does the mental midget know about Communications and Technology? The High School drop out knows that he does NOT belong in a ‘cabinet’. Had they not stolen power in 1994, they would be out in the street scratching for a living because they are all INCOMPETENT and do NOT have what it takes to earn a honest living. Ousman Badgie, Minister for Religious Affairs: these people are mocking God. This adulterer who few weeks ago was caught with his pants is given charge of ‘Religious Affairs’ in the country. He showed his INCOMPETENCE in the recently concluded hajj season that the illegal government hijacked from the private sector. That case has not even been settled yet, and the man is opted into a ‘cabinet’. Just goes to show you the caliber of people running our country. We are in a sorry state and the free-fall shall continue. This ‘cabinet’ is one of the most ridiculous outfits I have ever seen. Manlafi Jarjue: the only thing the guy got going for him is that he is an unashamed Yaya sycophant. Period. This man is now given potentially the most complicated portfolio in the country. The land tenure system in Africa is complicated to even mental giants with experience in the field. I can bet my last dime that the moron knows NOTHING about our land tenure system. All he sees is an opportunity to engage in corruption by ‘allocating’ land to other Yaya cronies. Pretty soon this man is going to be sorry he was ever appointed in that position. INCOMPETENCE coupled with corruption is just the perfect mix to cause chaos in that department. I wonder how his experience in the US is going to help him man a position that is so complicated and peculiar to The Gambia. But, you blame Manlafi, you are focusing on the wrong person. His boss (Yaya) who is trying to reward Manlafi for his (Manlafi’s) praise-singing does NOT even understand the enormity of the job at hand. These mental midgets think that they are still in High School. Other ‘rethreads’ like Joseph Joof and Blaise Jagne, I would not even talk about. Their records speak for themselves. Under Joseph Joof’s watch, the justice system is in disarray. Innocent Gambians are jailed for several months without trial. Innocent children have been massacred in broad daylight and their families denied justice by this illegal government. Joseph Joof’s prosecutors could NOT even convict the people that murdered Ebrima Barry in broad daylight. This man knows that in a serious government he would have been fired a long time ago for INCOMPETENCE. He came to Washington (at taxpayers’ expense) and ran away from people questioning the heinous acts of his government. He knows he CANNOT defend the indefensible. People like Blaise are just played like a yo-yo by characters like Baabaa Jobe. Thugs running our foreign policies. This same man was the only ‘diplomat’ at the Commonwealth that supported Dictator Abacha for the heinous murder of (environmental activist) Ken Sara-wiwa. Why? Because Abacha was stealing from the Nigerians and sharing some of his loot with Yaya. They are the laughing stock of the international community. He goes to the United Nations and all he does is pimp for Taiwan, Libya and Cuba. We have a real leadership problem in the country. Here was another opportunity for the Dictatorship to turn a new leaf. Get rid of all the High School drop outs in the ‘cabinet’; not just demoting them. Get rid of people like Famara Jatta that oversaw the reversal of our fortunes; under his watch Gambians have grown poorer. Get rid of the adulterer that oversaw the suffering of our people in Mecca. Get rid of Njie-Saidy, the woman that CANNOT defend innocent children. But, we all know that that would NOT happen. Ordinarily, Yaya has no business choosing a ‘cabinet’ in the first place. He stole power in 1994 and stole two subsequent elections in order to remain in power. So long as Gambians continue tolerating Yaya, this is the type of ‘cabinet’ we will continue to have. People get appointed solely because they sing the praises of the Dictatorship. Not a single member of this ‘cabinet’ will stand up for a principle (as simple as the defending of innocent children) that is opposed to the perceived thinking of Yaya, Baabaa Jobe and former junta members. We have an unadulterated Dictatorship.
