Who has time to respond to delusional comments? Certainly not me.

So funny with this Sonny guy, all of a sudden Halifa is not powerful after you ascribed him the almighty power of singlehandedly winning a yes vote for the constitution. You think that the people reading you are dumb? You are so bitter Mr. and you need to cool down before you explode in your pants.
You have struggled with this lie for so long believing that it will stick but only to your utter disappointment. Because your political stars choose to hide under their beds during the coup period you think the lie that "nobody was allowed to counter his views" will bury the truth.
The platform that Halifa and his team had during the coup was earned by them from the toughest of conditions that no other Gambian had tried or even attempted to attain. That stellar achievement is etched in stone in Gambian Gambian political history. The rest of you and your elk will only continue to wallow in eternal envy and jelousy and that is if you are lucky from that burst of adrenalin up in your heart.

Halifa effectively spearheaded the yes campaign acting in concert with the junta. He was not powerful, just that nobody was allowed to counter his views in the open due to the ban in place at the time. Thus, the people heard only what Halifa's team and the associates of the junta had to say, and they were armed with nothing but deception, half truth and fear mongering. 

Thanks

Demba, the 1970 was not amended. It was abrogated.

Spot on Lamin... This is why some of us have been calling for challenges to any provisions that were enacted even by parliament (Rubber stamp) to give immunity or political leverage to the junta. At the very least we will have in the records and when sanity is restored good citizens can bring up the matters again and the rulings can be reviewed and justice rendered where appropriate. We can all see that Jammeh wants to muddy the waters and blur the lines between the state, personal property and what not.. 

Even thought some of us have absolutely no confidence in the courts that is probably the safest bet for things be recorded and referenced later.. I brought this up with my interview with Sidia Jatta, Lawyer Darboe and many others. Some day we will have to have redress and walk back what is wrong in Gambia... 

And for my friend Daffeh, I never like to separate between the consultation with the people on amending the 1970 constitution and the sensitization campaign. It was one and the same hence further opportunities were not there to educate the people after everything was put together and some provisions like the term limit were removed and some inserted... 

I also wonder why Halifa needs to be single out as the one person to blame for the approval of the referendum. Do you really believe he is that powerful to single handedly sway everyone's opinion in the country? If truly that is your belief is that why you so obsessed with the person of Halifa? Just asking...???

Thanks

Property rights indeed Daffeh, but I was asking about the amendment to Schedule 2 in 2001 on a different point, and that was why I stated "Whilst we are on Schedule 2, what do you think about the indemnity clause inserted in the Schedule?". I was simply soliciting your thoughts on the amendment to the Schedule.

Schedule 2 precluded any amendment of its provisions but that did not stop the government from amending it in 2001, a whole four years after the Constitution came into force. The larger point here is that we are dealing with raw political power and that these legal shenanigans would unravel post APRC. I think this was what Demba was insinuating in his earlier reaction to you. It is also the reason why the PPP should have asserted its rights in the Courts regardless of outcome as there has to be some kind of settlement in the future when the playing field is levelled for all residents of The Gambia to freely invoke their legal rights.
