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.
