"HE" has a point though,much of the Civil Service is not as it should be,but "HE" has appointed many Civil Servants himself, hasn't he?

Moe,
I too think he has a right to tell people of the repercaussions of not doing what you are paid for. This was the problem and it is still part of the problem. That is why Jammeh put it in that way. |

toubab1020,
He is right. The colonial masters were not intrested in developnig the Gambia. There was a time when the British wanted to exchange Gambia with another country, but it failed because the Queen was cautioned by Ansumana Yundum. The British could have placed little Gambia on an independant trail by educating and giving us back our very intellegent people who studid in Bratain. If Technicial institutes with pratice were done at the time Britain was Great then Gambia would have been able to manufacture and do repairs on all machines we have. When Gambia was exposed to the developed world, the british could have given us enougt schooling so as not to be dependant. Most of the money Gambia borrowed from britain was on condition that Gambia employs British socalled experts and pay them as they were in Britain. There was not much left of the money to even buy new machines for power supply. We have been deprived development by the colonistis in a way I would development genocid. |

Does it not worry us to have a president without limits? The fact to drive home is that nobody in this world is so competent to handle every unit of responsibility in a scale of operation like governing a country. Here is Jammeh wanting us to believe that only him cares about Gambia more than any person. In the process he controls everything. Because he is only limited in his ability to carry out limited tasks, by handling all the tasks he crash-lands. Why is he not trusting others with even delicate tasks beyond his ability? He may be president but that does not mean he commands unlimited powers to do everything as he now insists doing. The final result is total doom. Jammeh is into everything and that is a problem. Many civil servants are reduced to caring how much not to offend Jammeh or how to please APRC thugs. Some APRC informants roam about office to office threatening civil servants who they consider not being loyal to Jammeh. In a word, there is no such thing like work in Jammeh's administration. To keep your job all you do is worship lord Jammeh for nothing. Too much of that is why there is total decline in output. Jammeh himself confessed lastly that he was unable to electrify the whole country as promised because of poor performing work force. If the job is to please Jammeh and the thugs, the result will always be zero output. Leave people to exercise their free and able capacity then they produce value. Worshiping Jammeh is not useful for Gambia. You can extend this further. By all fair account of our national plight Jammeh is the obstacle to progress. |

Karamba, "Does it not worry us to have a president without limits? ", there are limits, but he gets over the limits, he keeps gettign re-elected, until their is a strong opposotion he will be there for 40 years. It would help if some of the official in the local regions were not so corrupt at least it would make the locals have value to their lives, but if they are corrupt at this level it does nto make any sense whether the president is good or not.

Jambo
What we see in Gambia is one of criminal deception on grand scale. Jammeh first created an environment to accomodate his criminal affairs. For people to call attention on that is what people like Madiba prefer to call being Jammeh haters. In the first place Jammeh inherited nothing from his poor past. He only began getting rich after robbing the high political position of president. It is strange that people like Madiba cunningly insist we have to keep quiet about that. How many private citizens have raised their wealth from personal sweat and nobody talks about them? In the case of Jammeh he chose a criminal route to acquire illegal wealth at the cost of life and resources of Gambia.
On the observation about the mindset of Gambians. Again it boils down to the deceptive atmosphere willfully created by Jammeh. The grand style of throwing dust in the open eyes of clear viewers is no secret. That is done to interfere with the very mindset you rightly recognised as being tampered. |

Oh yah! Jammeh can fire anyone he wants in the name of incompetence except that he recycles them right back to the same or similar positions.
I wonder what criteria he uses to appoint people? If all those people fired were incompetent, then obviously the one who APPOINTS them time and again is also very incompetent to say the least.
There is more to appointing people to position of responsibility than just cherry picking anyone who first come to mind.
This hiring and firing is a gross exposure of Jammeh's inability to comprehend how government works or should work.
Honestly, by now he should not have anyone to appoint among Gambians because he see all of them as incompetent and corrupt. In Jammeh's eyes no one is patriotic except him.. hmmmmmmmm..... |

Jambo perhaps it would be easier to elect an opposition if the people werent so much in fear. DO your really think the elections are free and fair and without intimidation? Open your eyes!
Jammeh is power mad and this hiring and firing is to do with his power games. It has nothing to do with the competency of the person involved. NOTHING.
Jammeh has people reading this web site and my guide in Gambia is frightened for his family because of my writing on here. He has asked me to stop. I have also been warned not to disclose my movements in Gambia. Apparently the NIA were very interested in my photographs.   
It seems very far fetched to me that they would be remotely interested in me or this site. But such is the level of control this man wants. Gambia is not a democracy in any true sense of the word. It is a police state. The ordinary people live in fear.

Bro Moe your point is noted. However I found it very hard to appreciate the DECLARATIONS THAT ALL PUBLUC SERVANTS MUST PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO H.E & A.P.R.C AS A RULING PARTY AND THAT THEY ARE OPEN TO SCRUTUNY TO EITHER DELIVER WHAT HE (JAMMEH) WANTS OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. To me thats "ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS!" = DICTATORSHIP.
POLITICS can undermine CREDIBILITY, PROGRESS, EFFECIENCY & EFFECTIVENESS. Are we not ALL CHILDREN OF THE LAND? SHOULD WE owe ALLEGIANCE TO H.E & his party or AALEGIANCE TO THE STATE OR NATION "TOWARDS THE COMMON GOOD!" |

Absolute power to destroy all! The meaning, simple and clear. The absolute power that Yaya Jammeh craves for will end up destroying everything; all including his insane self. It is normal to see insane persons in society. What is absolutely abnormal is seeing normal people supporting an insane person to lead them because they take him for president. That is the unfortunate very sad situation in Gambia. The only reason some blind supporters stay by this insane man is because they have taken a position against those they perceive as opponents. Where they later realise the man is a real naught, attachment to a magnet of error keeps them towing the line. In the end the unbecoming misbehaviour wrapped in personal greed reveals so much about this man. Even his staunch and stench supporters know something is really wrong. Yet, they prefer to stay by as matter of games.
Yes, Yaya Jammeh will destroy everything through his lethal little fingers and shallow frame of mind. Those who helped in building him and later turned victims know this better. It is a soaking shame!!
