[…‘‘They argued that by virtue of their respective positions, they could not disobey executive directives contained therein. The 3rd accused person has also intimated in his cautionary statement to the police that the instructions contained in exhibit E for the removal, arrest, and prosecution of Justice Wowo were indeed executive directives from His Excellency the President of the Republic of The Gambia,’’ he said, adding that where appropriate, His Excellency the President of the Republic can cause the removal of a judge from office. …](The Point, 12/20/2013).

Folks,

I think Bro Malcolm’s statement above was going to serve many years after he is gone. The trio has been hit by the same mallet of injustice that buried many other descent citizens. There are those of our citizenry that choose to side with the tyrant. As it stands, all of trios were one time big men within the administration enjoying the prime time on GRTS and giving executive orders that were not representing democratic principles, rather ones that served their personal interest. While as humanitarians, activists, and legally conscious people, we are sympathetic and sensitive to what our UK-based learned legal mind LJD calls Gambia’s “public lawlessness,” it will be hard to sympathize with the ones that participated in the construction of the evil pillars. The trios were no small fishes in that pool of the evil empire, and as such, it is conclusive to say that hell was prescribed for the evil doers, so the prisons will be reserved for these political masquerades, topmost is the criminal leader himself (Yaya Jammeh) whose sad days are evidently limping in the gutters at a very high speed. It is clear from the above quote from the Point Newspaper that the biggest political hypocrite is Yaya Jammeh. Apparently, he uses the Ngogus and later on, uses that to bring charges against them. For now, I am sure I am not the only one observing the dramatic show of the political hypocrites settling scores among themselves. That mighty Ngogu Bah of all folks has finally bitten the dust and like Nanama puts it, Mile received one of the tallest guests yesterday.

The little reference we can make to Buddhism is that the mighty Kama has hit the political idiots. The spirit of the executed 9 prisoners and the many other mysterious cases has started to haunt on its wrong doers. We all know most of those cases were supposed to be judicially reviewed, and sadly some took the law into their own hands.

The conclusion is and as nicely argued by Demba on Gainako’s editorial, “Who Is Next?” is certainly the next question to rhetorically ask. The Momodou Saballys can hang in there just now….and like the Wollofs would say; “Yakamtee aduna,” and I will add that it will get you exactly what you deserve.

Best regards,

Yero.
