Chei waye, head of the mercenary judges is leaving. The ghost of some of your victims will continue to follow you all junks and wrong breeds of Africa. You are doing what is called, 'mata-fuuf.' Achaa, keep going....and see who wants you back. Your pockets are already filled with Gambian currency.

“Mercenary judges”

Pressed on what his words are to those people bent on besmirching the Gambian judiciary by referring to some judges, especially the foreign ones as “mercenary judges”, the chief justice stressed that it is “very painful” to be described in such terms.


He said: “I don’t think that there is anything like mercenary judges whether foreign or local. Where a judge gives a decision whereby [someone] is dissatisfied, the laws and constitution provides for avenue to challenge that decision. If you go to the international press, or on the internet, and called people all sort of names, that is very unfair to the individuals because they don’t have an opportunity to say anything; and also true to the country because you are running down the national institution of a country and that is not fair...]

“Purported impassionate online messages”

Quizzed on his response to the impassionate messages being circulated on the internet purportedly from him, CJ Agim was unequivocal in his words, saying his decision up till now has been not to dignify it with a response.


However, he lamented: “It is sad that people deal with their country in that way. A man comes to your country faithfully, honestly, committedly, patriotically and served that country for 12 years with clear cut visible signs of the great contributions he has made to national development, and all you can do is to persistently vilify him, and even when he is going, you forge email addresses and messages against him.


If not my faith in The Gambia and the kind of relationships I have built with people, I will be totally demoralized and discouraged about the place. That’s not fair. I don’t deserve that. So that is not my email and anyone can create an email address even in two minutes. But it’s unfortunate that people can get to that level.”...]

 

End of story.
