What else can one describe the act of allowing bandits to maraud the
streets, kidnapping and molesting ordinary people while decent people of
integrity are kept behind bars for performing an honourable role in society?
Is that not the law of the jungle where might prevails over right? When the
so-called witchdoctors and their gang stormed Jambur and took them to Kololi
for so-called cleansing, Foroyaa published their narration. We did the same
for the victims at Essau and Makumbaya. The criminal nature of their
activities was quite evident but what have the police done? They have not
stopped the bandits from moving to Kanfenda to continue their criminal
activities. Rather they arrested a man of integrity who was trying to
unearth the truth.

Section 25 of the Constitution is quite explicit. Every person shall have
the right to freedom of speech and expression, freedom of assembly and
freedom of association. No one has the right to stop another from talking to
the people in any lawful activity, especially if that person is a political
leader. The people are free to express themselves to anyone they choose to
and no one whatsoever has the right to stop them. To do so would tantamount
to violating the Constitution.
This is the constitution that President Jammeh swore to defend. Is he
defending the Constitution or has he abdicated his responsibility? Does he
want to say that he is not aware of what is happening? Is he not aware of
the indications of some Alkalos that he sent the bandits to their village.
Are they lying or are they speaking the truth?

President Yahya Jammeh, Foroyaa has been publishing all this, yet you remain
silent. Do you not read Foroyaa, or have you chosen to remain silent? You
have to speak out, President Jammeh, speak out! Will you defend the
Constitution and pursue the rule of law as you swore to do, or will you
abdicate your responsibility and pursue the rule of might! The choice is
yours. History will judge you, Mr. President.
