President Jammeh’s Surprise Visit To AG Chambers
By Saikou Ceesay
On Thursday around 4:00pm, President Yahya Jammeh made another surprising visit to the Attorney General’s Chambers, Department of State for Justice. Prior to his tour of the offices, workers and employees of the Attorney General’s Chambers welcomed him and formed a procession to shake hands with him.
Meanwhile, the President conducted a tour of the Department with the Solicitor General Dr. Henry Carrol, amongst other officials. He visited all the sections, starting from the office of the SoS, Chambers, Criminal Division, Companies Division, Curator’s Division and Registrar General’s office. He gave them the floor to lodge their complaints and indicate the difficulties they are facing in their work.
He later pledged to sponsor some Gambians for higher education. Mrs. Grace O. Mowoe Parliamentary Council, who served part of her life at the Attorney General’s Chambers, was given a new car by the president for her personal use. Mrs. Mowoe was said to have been using her own car for official duties. He also pledged to rehabilitate the Attorney General’s chambers.
Mrs. Marie Saine Firdaus, the Secretary of State for Justice, was on a visit to Taiwan during the President’s visit to her Department of State. The occasion was attended by many dignitaries.

This is grossly unethical! What are the politicians doing in the Gambia, allowing the president on official duties pledging and dishing personal gifts to the ministry of justice employees apparently to buy them...
True the AG's post is a presidential appointment post, but his office is expected by the constitution to apply the law with independent judgement without fear or favor. I think this action of the president undermines that principle. What do you think? |

The President is running out of ideas and has now resort to this new style of politicking. Having failed in his AIDS treatment, President Jammeh is now trying to make the CIVIL SERVICE his new political weapon.
To tell you the truth, the AG Chambers have suffered a lot from President Jammeh's politics of hiring and firing. And therefore, President should be embarassed to visit in a department which he systematically destroyed in the last 13 years.
Down with Jemus Jammeh, The Dictator.

| Kayjatta, I don't think any action of President Jammeh should be a surprise to any of us. The President knows everything and is capable of doing anything. Wonders never seize to exist and this man's miracles are yet to be fully expose to Gambians. Stay tune for more ... |
