When there is no standard as to what qualification is needed for members to contest elections, you end of getting people there who were just elected because of family or tribal affiliation.
DBaldeh, the highlight above is the principal cause of our governance problems. This 'selfish' attitude amongst us must be done away with or else we continue have the masses living in hell all their lives. I do dis-agree wit Halifa sometimes but he has been eloquent at the Assembly and beyond. Giving part of salary back to his electorates is just commendable and a step in the right direction. That shows in part that he knows who put him in there and whose interests he represents. I agree wit you in toto, unless we change our selfish attitude the Gambians will still continue to suffer. |

Brother Madis, the problem is beyond selfishness to say the least. When a people and society doesn't know any better, they are happy with anything they get. You give them a bridge and a paved dirt road, they think they have access to heaven. You give them a bag of rice or sugar, they think you are the kindest person in the whole world...
Our people am sad to say are kept in so much darkness, they are content with anything that keep them alive but not living. Life cannot be base on total dependence on someone else. When it becomes so, then one is happy with whatever.
This is why I am still bitter about the former regime not to talk about the present one. I feel our people have been deprived of so much basic essential things in life that we would probably never recover again.
Our people were and are still being deprive of their basic fundamental right to life with dignity and respect. When you expose the human mind to education and enlightenment, you expose them to the world. When you keep them in darkness, you take away the basic tool to civility.
No one can free a people from self destruction. They are the only ones who can free themselves, but they need the tools to arm themselves and match into this beautiful world with so much to offer. Unfortunately, with shame our people are far from realizing this life time dream. You are right Madis, but am sad, really sad about the reality confronting our people without a solution in sight.
With a deep thought, I end with humility... |

I have been following your debate with keen interest. It is healthy to discuss and argue inorder to allow superior ideas to emerge, which will subsequently enable us to pave a way forward. I do believe that every body has the fundemental right to criticise, but should also be ready to face criticism. Halifa Sallah is a just a humanbeing who is fallable like any other humanbeing so therefore he cannot escape criticism. But criticising him based on hatred and malice is also unjust not only to him as a person but also to all fair minded Gambians in general. The National Assembly is not a Bantaba where representatives meets only to discuss about naming ceremonies and singing songs to the Executive but rather, a place where pertenent issues are to be discussed which represents the very lives of all Gambians including the lives of the executive. This should be done with maximum awareness and dedication. These means that one should be very clear in thoughts and ideas inorder to be able to be competently part of that August body. Halifa´s committment to the National cannot be under estimated. He heads different committees where his deligence and ideas are considered and reckon with even by members of the ruling party. His sincerity, honesty and selfishness are features that if most Paliamentarians possesed then, we would have averted this discussion today. Allow me to explain a story which took place in 1995, We organised a symposium in Hamburg and Halifa was invited as a guest speaker, Our Brothers in Stockholm also wanted to have him there and they siezed the opportunity to invite him. By then travelling by Air within Europe was not cheap as it is today, so the only option was to let him travel by train which would last for 10 to 12 hours. We gave him 100 German Marks for his food and other sundries. When this gentleman returned to Hamburg, he gave us back the money and explained that he did not use it so therefore, the money should be returned. Halifa could have pocketed that money because basically it was his at that very moment. I bet not many of his cooleagues at the National Assembly will ever dare to think of retiring their impress. Gambia belongs to all of us and I believe that every Gambian should contribute his or her quota to the fullest and show respect to others who share a different view on how our country should be govern. Jammeh may have high regard and vision on how to develop the country but to many people including myself realises that his lofty ideas and manner of government is not enough.I have no doubt that there are many able Gambian sons and daughters who can run the presidency more effeciently and effectively than Jammeh. My position is not to defend or to antogonise but just to testify that Halifa is a honest and sincere Gambian
The Gambia is more than any individual or group of people. |

If he passes your test, call him whatever. No one cares ok but the fact is, there is nothing like the most honest Gambian.
These are the same people who try to make us believe that personality has no relevance in politics. If that is so, why are they bombarding us with all these sexed-up stories. I suppose that is what Talibeehs are always meant to do. Staging their Ayatollah as a superhuman if not a demi-god. Soobukee!
