FORMER NAWEC DUO TRIAL DEFERRED
By Bubacarr K. Sowe
The ongoing trial of Abdoulie Jobe, former Managing Director of the National Water and Electricity Company (NAWEC) alongside the company's distribution Manager, Tijan Bahoum adjourned to the 1st of November.
The matter, which was expected to resume on Thursday at the Banjul Magistrate Court could not proceed due to the absence of the Magistrate, I.I Mboto. Foroyaa gathered that she could not make it to Court as a result of a breakdown on her vehicle.
However, the accused persons and their defence team were present in court awaiting the proceedings. The accused persons are standing trial on two charges of economic crimes. Both of them had pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Our so-called justice system is quite a joke.  |
Justice must be served as impunity brings more repression and corruption! |

Yes Kwame n'Krumah. If he was alive things would certainly be different today.
I'm optimistic that we will have another Kwame n'Krumah. Perhaps even in the Gambia. |

What am I missing? Didn't Nkrumah got overthrown, exiled to Guinea and died in a soviet oriented hospital in sophia? If he was still alive, what difference will he make? When he was young and dynamic, they dejected him. Do you think those dictators will listen to an old frail former head of state? I doubt it, but again I maybe missing the gist of your point. |

Ousman, here ia link to his biography. You can also do a web seacrh about his accomplishments and his vision for Ghana and Africa as a whole:

If he was able to execute his ideas we would have a different Africa today. There are always elements who do not want to see us progress. You've obviously bought into their message.
We should always give credit where it's due.
Cheers Bro. |

You made my point for me. He wasn't able to execute his ideas. So even if he was alive today it wouldn't make any difference.
You went on:

I beg to differ. I didn't buy into any anti progess message. But opinion been what it is you are entitled to your opinion of me and what you deem to be my misguided ideas.

Ous you are right. i meant to say if he continued to be President it would be different.N'Krumah was simply in a hurry. and because of this he didnt notice the foreign sponsored elements after him. but we can't start about cold war politics here. its too late. he was a good man, stood up for what was right, period.
Rhodesia was one thing he was very passionate about. whilst the British were concerned about Ian Smith standing up to them with the Unilateral declaration of Independence (UDI) he was more concerned about the pseudo-apartheid system in place. during those days the Commonwealth almost collapsed.
i swear it would have been a different story. In exile Sekou Touray made him co-President of Guinea. He died in Romania of cancer.

Ousman, please accept my apologies. Every individual does have a right to their opinion.
