Tombong Whilst I welcome his STANCE on declaration of ASSETS, I am not too convinced with his sincerity. Remember that during the Nomination for the Presidential Elections, President Jammeh fail to declare the total assets that he acquired since becoming PRESIDENT OF THE GAMBIA. It was not till last November that he informed the whole nation that it was he own YDE and that he set up this company by using his own MONEY Well the question one has to ask how can a President earning a salary of less than D35,000 be able to establish a company like YDE. Secondly, I think President Jammeh should stop acting as if we are still ruled by a de-jure MILITARY COUNCIL. Operation No Compromise and other edicts contravenes the basic tenets of a democratic society. Laws have to be introduced in parliament first, before a President can make any pronouncement which is likelihood to hinder an individual's human rights. The business of Operation No Compromise is unlawful since the President is applying a Militaritic approach by ordering APRC thugs to enforce ORDERS which have not stipulated in the law books.

Yesterday, I was at the airport to welcome the President from Guinea Conakry and during his usual press conference, he revealed a new dimension of Operation no Compromise. All public officers during his tenure (July 22nd 1994 to date) would have to justify where they got their assets. He said, “from 1994 to date, every one must explain how he got his assets. This is going to complete my “Operation no Compromise”. If your relative has built a mansion, tell him to work out how he got it with justified documents or (he will) go to jail.” All including myself will have to justify whatever assets we have. This a welcome move, it will clear the air and the real KAKATARs will be revealed. The truth shall set us free. This will include all past and present public officials. The President has to be given credit for this bold move. He is tackling corruption in his own style.
