Demba,

I think the phrase "if you cannot beat them, join them" could work for me if the people joining them uphold their legal and moral obligations to the people of The Gambia. I would like to see someone fired or imprisoned for standing up for what is right legally and morally by publicly stating their opinion about significant and pressing Gambian national issues. 

I think we as people are so hungry for success and status but many of us are not willing to put in the hard work, rather we associate ourselves with easy means of attaining success and status. The only place I know where success comes before work is in the dictionary. Until the people within the borders of The Gambia understands that they don't have to be popular, rich or lavish to live a successful life worthy of emulation, we will continue to have these issues in all works of life in our beloved country.

Thanks Suntou and Mboge though rarely, I completely agree with you on this. This is one of the biggest problems we have in Gambia. I just cannot comprehend when will Gambians read the writings on the wall and learn from it.

Many have a dangerous lack of responsibility in handling national issues. The view that if you 'cannot beat them join them' is the most ignorant view I could ever imagine...I just don't know why folks would be so blinded with the situation in Banjul... Everything is fair game but Jammeh...

We got some serious soul searching as a nation and people...

Happy Friday

The situation cannot be restricted to legal practioners only. People from all professions and vocations are doing everything to have a bite of the ever elusive imagined national cake which they think Jammeh controls. From all sectors of Gambian society (both home and abroad) folk are positioning themselves to be noticed by the tyrant.

Ours is a very dare situation which is exacerbated by the arrogance of some eluded folk within the diaspora claiming that only few of them have the know-how, connection, vision, dedication to steer and deliver us from the tyranny in the Gambia. One of them has even stated something to the effect that he has the nagging feeling that if he and his group do not led [most of whom enabled Jammeh at some point -now trying to salvage whatever is left of their integrity] the so-called "Steering Committees" emanating from the recent get togethers in the USA/UK, would not function or probably fail.

Worrying times

As President Jammeh accuses Pa Harry Jammeh and Jobarteh of abuse of office and corrupt practises, one wonders, what compel this legal minds to knowningly throw away their dignity and enable a criminal system.

Is there any hope in salvaging the legal profession of our country? Jobarteh they said, lobbyed hard to get the Justice Minister job, the current Justice Minister if my memomry serves me right was the wife of Lai Conteh. A man who was put through hell, whilst married to the same woman. Or is she someone else? But any how, it is said, she too lobbyed to get the job.

What is the reason a number of Gambian legal minds wish to take the sacriligious post of Justice Minister in Jammeh's govenment? Is it due to the country or place of study. Because there are some accusations that, those who study law in Africa are more likely to help dictators..But Pa Harry studied in England, whilst some of the Nigerians studied in America. What is wrong with our legal practioners, not all of them I will hasten to say.

Ex Magistrate Bory Freed Chonghan, who is himself a Barister now, whilst Lamin J Darboe freed the Brikama folks and some other remanded detainees, Magistrate Mboge also release Sedia and Halifa, whilst Buba Jawo levied a fine on Fatou Jaw Manneh...I can't seems to see any dignity in the legal professionals, the larger percentage..I hope our learned friend Sanusi Owen, Ibrahim Chonghan, Lamin J Darboe and others help us here..It is pathetic..

These men aren't poverty ridden. I know Jobarteh well. He has over three massive compounds, and cars, what is the issue...Is it name (appearing on GRTS), What is it guys.
