Fabakary B. Ceesay
As the Presidential Election approaches very fast, The National Alliance for Democracy and Development (NADD), held a mass political rally at Bakau on Saturday, 2nd September 2006.
Shortly before mounting the podium, the NADD flag bearer, honorable Halifa Sallah spoke to this reporter and indicate to him that, NADD is the party which will fight against impunity. Mr. Sallah noted that the present Government has no respect for the constitution and the rule of law and that they are governing by impunity. He said that a NADD government will eradicate both political and economic impunity. He pointed out that the present government is killing Public Corperations like GPTC, by taking money from them any time they want to commemorate July 22nd celebrations and other events.
“This is how they are killing the Public Corperations.”
Mr. Sallah said that under a NADD government, there will be a Department of State for Human Rights and Justice and that they will be separated from the office of the Attorney General. We are going to have a commission on human rights as an overseas office just like the office of the Ombudsman, where people can go and report or make complaints’, he emphasised. The NADD flag bearer asserted that there will be a media commission that will be regulated by journalists themselves, to set their own standards of their profession. “This commission will not be an administrative court.” Mr. Sallah noted that a NADD government will have a commission for the women and children 25 rights issues. He emphasised that a NADD government will create institutions that will address any form of human rights abuse. Halifa also added that under the electoral process IEC summons the security to be under it’s jurisdiction and that they can allocate the security forces to political parties. “But I have not seen that happened at the moment and we have not been called to say that has happened, as such we are providing our own security” he concluded.
