| My Lord LJD, or should I say Your Honor, I think Yoro touched a little bit on my point. In Southern Africa, I assumed that the Judiciary is to a large extent, if in fact not totally independent of the Executive and the Legislature, and therefore one can rightly conclude that there is a rule of law that the Judge in this case relied on, and without fear or favor for that matter. In The Gambia, on the other hand, there is only a virtue separation of power, not really existing. Yaya Jammeh, is the Judge, the Jury, and the Executor. He runs the Executive branch, the Judiciary, and the Legislature. I want to convince myself that cases involving so called "high profile" civilians and military personnel(former Jammeh cohorts), Yaya, through the Attorney General would directly remote control the
process to make sure that any outcome meets his desired objective. "Sembocracy" as the AFPRC/APRC thugs would call it. These cases may be similar to the late Imam. Karamo Touray's case, a case you're very familiar with. Even if charges are leveled against the D, they are usually bogus and unworthy of any serious court's valuable time to even consider, let alone preside over it in a trial. My view. Pa.
