"Minority Leader Hon. Samba Jallow, the lawmaker for Niamina Dankunku who moved the motion, said the candidate Mr. Suwaneh lacks the required public administration qualification and experience. He added that he also lacks the legal judgment or investigative skills as he is a seasoned educationist and not necessarily vast in substantial administrative matters."

Here is a letter from a "concerned citizen"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
n a statement send to the Daily News, Hagi Suwareh PRO of the 3 years Jotna said his take on the Vice President of the Republic of the Gambia, Her Excellency Dr Isatou Touray is one of a mixed feelings.
Dr Touray has represented the historic Excellency President Barrow at the National Assembly to defend the President’s Nation Address, and the recent debate on the appointment of the Ombudsman.
Suwareh said the appearance of the VP in Parliament was a disgraced, as she Dr. Touray was trying to deceive Gambians about the three years / five years issue. The VP said on the floors of the National Assembly, that the first cabinet meeting of the Barrow government was used to discussed the three years to be amended to five years which all the ministers agreed and extend the president’s term to five years.
The VP even challenged her fellow cabinet ministers to attest to that statement if the issue was not discussed at that first cabinet meeting. However immediately after that statement some former cabinet ministers who were in that first cabinet meeting said such matters have never been discussed in any cabinet meeting.
In his analysis, Suwareh said if going by what some of the former cabinets said which countered the VP’s position; then he is of the opinion that Dr Touray , Vice President of the Gambia went all out to mislead Gambians in the defense of President Barrows for five years.
It is his profound belief that morally she cannot be trusted because leaders should protect their integrity and maintain their moral attitudes.
In the VP’s second appearance at the National Assembly she questioned whether the NAMs know their roles and responsibilities? Suwareh said the sad aspect of the question is that whiles NAMs were raising issues and problems affecting their constituencies, she the VP Dr. Touray is reminding them that they are there for the nation not for people who elected them only, and she said Gambians should stop asking for money, money, money but they should sacrifice themselves for the country rather than asking the government monies.
VP Touray said as for her she’s not working for money but for the development of this country.
“My question is when did Vice President choose to work for this country without salary? From her first appointment as Minister of Trade and Regional Integration to position of a Vice President to date did she sacrificed or offer herself for free for the country?”.
Dr Touray also said the three years is unconstitutional then will she agree with me that President Barrow and people like her have used the Coalition Agreement to deceive and mislead Gambian people in order to obtain power again where is integrity and morality that should convince Gambians to have peace of mind and wait for 2021 election under a leadership that confessed to citizens that they obtain power by misleading people.
“Her Excellency if anytime you speak in parliament you disgraces genuine Gambians by show of anger in your face and body” Suwareh
Suwareh said anytime VP speaks in parliament she speaks with high temper, thinking that she is talking to herself and anytime she speaks she prove a clear message to the Gambians that her government is weak.
The 3 Years Jotna PRO intuited that because of a dictator
Gambians are aware and we will hold you by neck and it is only the truth that will set you free
long live the Gambia and may the truth prevail.

The phrase,I AM NOT HAPPY springs instantly to mind 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Vice President Dr Isatou Touray has to be called to order when she went about passionately defending the nomination of Babucarr Suwareh as Ombudsman.
“Listen carefully, who is here to question his credibility? He is qualified and when it comes to credibility, who is here to question it? That is a moral issue – ethics. Let us ask ourselves who is more qualified than him? Who is better than Babucarr Suwareh?” she asked the legislators.
“When making decisions, you should not be judgmental. I think if we all get out of the judgmental dimension, we will all understand that Suwareh has all the credentials to be considered, given the fact that the responsibility and the functions of the Ombudsman go beyond what some of you people are thinking – it is broader,” VP Touray added.

“To say that he is not qualified, I say no. He is qualified. He has 33 years of experience within the education system,” argued VP Touray.
The lawmakers were furious with the VP’s utterances, arguing she attacked their own credibility.
The NAMs said her argument did not convince them about Suwareh’s appointment and asked for the President to choose what they called the ‘right person’ for the job.

Parliament Rejects Presidential Appointment
DAily News: December 27
By Almamo Kamaso
http://dailynewsgm.com/parliament-rejects-presidential-appointment
The appointment of Baboucarr A Suwareh as Ombudsman has been rejected by parliament in an extra ordinary sessions Friday 27 December 2019 on the basis that the candidate lacks the required public administrative qualification and or experience.
When the confirmation of the appointment was before the National Assembly, the matter was referred to the Public Appointment Committee for scrutiny and advice.
In their report read by the Minority Leader Hon Samba Jallow, he reported that the rejects the appointment as he Suwareh lacks legal judgment or investigative skills; they agreed that the candidate is a seasoned educationist and not necessarily verse in substantial administrative matters.
The committee further advises the President in his re-consideration of a substitute; take into account a person substantial administrative or investigative knowledge and basic legal experience.
The committee went further to recommend that any other nominated person by the President should have regard for a person of high morals and proven integrity who has so distinguished him or herself in public administration and legal knowledge.
The National Assembly is of the view that a person to be appointed Ombudsman should be well versed, and of proven record, in public administration with no political affiliation.
Members unanimously approved the reports of the public appointment committee as recommended.
Member for Banjul North, Hon Ousman Sillah said for him the fact that the President has already appointed the said candidate before it was before the parliament for approval, which he said is an abrogation of the constitution.
Hon saikou Marong supported the dis approval of the appointment of the Ombudsman in the person of Baboucarr Suwareh. He said we need to put people in such position with high integrity one who will not be there for any body’s interest.
Hon Suwabou Touray also supports the disapproval of the said appointment and suggested that people who should be appointed be legally minded. He called on the members not to put people in wrong places.
Hon Sainey Touray of Jara East applauded the Public Appointment Committee for coming up with such a position and advice. He like other members who spoke supported the decision of the committee on the appointment of Baboucarr Suwareh.
