Chief Musa Sanyang Nominated National Assembly Member Replaced
The announcement made by the Department of State for Foreign Affairs that the Chief of Foni Berefet, Seyfo Bala Musa Sanyang had been appointed as a nominated member of the National Assembly was published by Foroyaa with words of caution that he could not be Chief and member of the National assembly at the same time. Interestingly enough, Chief Bala Musa Sanyang is dropped. Hon...Abdoulie Bojang is nominated in his place instead.
To save the government from any further embarrassment, such decisions should be done in consultation with the principal legal adviser of the government, the Attorney General and Secretary of State for Justice.
Our reporter however met chief Bala Musa Sanyang at his residence in Ndemban, Foni Berefet and asked him why he was not present during the swearing in ceremony at the National Assembly knowing that he was nominated as a National Assembly member by the President, Chief Sanyang said that looking at the option of being a chief or a National Assembly member, he preferred to remain as Chief, because as he said the chieftaincy has a longer term than that of the National Assembly., provided that one is not corrupt or has not abused one's office. Chief Sanyang however said he appreciated the President's good gesture and thanked him for nominating him as a National Assembly member.
