Thanks Baba, as always, this people have families to feed and loosing their job means a disaster to the family if we, who are living outside the country, will not or cannot sponsor their families yet blaming them for retaining their job is unfair to them. The problem is with the Yahya Jammeh not the people trying to sustain the survival of their respective families. We can only blame them whereas, there is a fund allocated by Diaspora Gambians for people who rejected the appointment of the regime period or those who are unjustly dismissed. 

As far as that is not done, let us concentrate on the Brah'ma. As i said earlier, everybody is a god one way or the other upon his/her own right and Yahya is not an exceptional in that regard. Any unjust meted on Gambians on the ground, is instigated by the Brah'ma himself not the Brah'min. there is a phenomenon regarding to work ethic in every work place beyond workers' control. The ethic in this government is remote controlling ethics with has nothing to do with the kind of television or object but the handler of the device who can choose the station he/she wanted the object to show. The guy is trying to bang out heads together should we allow it to prevail? it seem so. Instead, every finger should be pointed to him no matter who procure the effect thereby, he will feel more pressure. Hence we are blaming each other or the workers, he will be jubilant. Edie

He just has to say be and it is - whatever it is. The Department of Physical Planning is simply obeying orders from above. The real culprit behind the demolition is Yahya Jammeh. Foroyaa should address their request for explanation to the president.

Perhaps folks on the ground should follow Foroyaa's lead to demand the legal basis for this demolition.  If they can get away with it in Brufut, Mandinary and now Batokunku where is off-limit? Bakau Wasulun Kunda or Brikama  Suma Kunda?

>>THE BATOKUNKU DELMOLITION EXERCISE – MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS
>>Published on Friday, 06 September 2013 17:02 | Written by Ousman Njie 
Last week the Department of Physical Planning carried out a demolition exercise indicating that the land the home owners are occupying do not belong to them but are ‘privately owned’ or reserved lands. The home owners on the other hand showed our reporter documents they say attest their ownership of the plots. How such confusion can arise is unimaginable. 
>>
>>The home owners show our reporter documents certifying ownership by the department of physical planning, as well lease documents. How can the Department of Physical Planning now claim that the land is reserved land? Or are they claiming that the documents are faked? 
>>The question which many owners of leased land will now be asking
    themselves is whether the land they now occupy is theirs or
    ‘private/reserved land’ as in the case of Batokunku. Who are the private owners of the plots that have been demolished? Did any private owners of plots claim that their plots have been intruded? 
>>If that is the case why not leave these ‘dispossessed’ owners to
    claim for their plots and to take the matter to court if they so
    desire? 
>>In the case of reserved land why did the Department of Physical
    Planning not refuse to endorse ownership at the time of processing
    the lease documents? These issues need clarification and if Foroyaa
    has the opportunity to talk to the Director of Physical Planning, we
    hope these points will be clarified. 
>>
>>The director has indicated that we should write when he was
    approached, which we will do and inform our readers accordingly. The
    home owners have the right to sue the government in court for
    recovery of what they claim is their plots or for compensation.
    Needless to say, the home owners say they were given only a very
    short notice and their pleas for longer notice to allow them to
    adjust to a new reality fell on deaf ears. 
>>
>>Why the rush? What did they hope to gain? Some of the home owners we
    spoke to say they spent millions of dalasi to build their houses and those millions now seem to have gone to the drain. 
>>Reports have it that one of the home owners became so depressed that
    he was contemplating his life, and was subsequently held in
    ‘protective custody’ by the police. Could the Department of Physical
    Planning not have considered another approach?
