Going by the rate and manner of appointments and random dismissals, it is now clear that what is wrong points more to the president than many of those set on the terrible swift swing of hiring and firing.
This president has some serious problems needing critical attention for best remedial intervention. Something is seriously abnormal that people take for a joke.

Lets see how long this one stays in post,he has been given additional specifics for his job,can he do it or will he fail and another person be put in office,have a read,
http://www.observer.gm/africa/gambia/article/zero-tolerance-for-corruption
Snippet:
"He expressed his dissatisfaction with the wrong doings in the health sector, citing what he called the unacceptable attitude of drug theft menace in the sector as drugs are being sold at private pharmacies at the expense of the nation. President Jammeh was speaking yesterday afternoon at State House in Banjul, while presiding over the swearing-in ceremony of the new minister of Health and Social Welfare, Dr Abubakar Gaye."
Can anyone argue against such sentiments ? I expect not,I do expect that there will be no comments on this topic and it will not show up on the radar after a couple of days.Lets see if I am right or wrong.

Toubab1020,
You have completely missed the message. This may be due to a deliberate self induction or mere choice to meddle with the truth.
The beef at hand is thicker than a single bite to grind. There is something very seriously wrong with this president and that is a big issue for all those who care. |

Toubab1020,
By no means will I choose to down-grade your value judgement in a manner as may be conceived.
What is on trade is the fact that the current serving president of Gambia has something "very seriously wrong with him." That is manisfested in many styles and forms.
Yet there are people out there who want the rest of world believe everything is alright with the man.
Again, the challenge lies at anyone's door step: "There is something very seriously wrong with this president."
Anyone who disagrees, your towel in the ring.
You certainly do not need a plumber. Nothing wrong with your fixture as far as I can say. But seriously, something is very badly wrong with Chairman turned president. The man is floating in an ocean of fantasy. He is taking everything unreal to be real and everything real to be unreal. That, in the mind of curious observers makes him so abnornomal. No need looking far or deeper, the wall is full of writings. |

Thanks Karamba,I understand what you are saying I was commenting on the contents of the article and not on the wider picture that you have focused on,you will however agree that, relocation of medical supplies to a more profitable source is wrong, if the new man can solve that effectivly then another Gambian problem is solved.I don't wish to harp on things that I have said before but Attitudinal change is what is wanted if The Gambia wants to be respected and join the outside world.
Pleased to report that my fixture is in full working order ! |

Toubab1020,
Much has been thundering about attitudinal change for Gambians. Where a president is brave enough to rob whole national resources (small as that adds up)considering the poor economic ranking of Gambia, those serving under him only join to emulate. Let the big man lead by example. If stealing and senseless corruption become his standard, what else for the rest?
Something is very seriously wrong with this president. |

Karamba, politics is not my thing at all I am not born Gambian,I can only comment on things that I know about and sensible ideas,and things that I experience and see myself that's how I would like to leave it,sorry.
Quite happy to have a discussion about attitudinal change,something that many bantaba posters close their eyes to.I have experienced both ways of life ,discuss politics and government matters, no thanks. |

Many thanks for your generosity and keen interest to share some vital observations albeit the fact that you so bitterly hate politics and not being Gambian as that. Fine feathers on your hat for whatever.
Sorry for directing anything political. On other side of the coin, politics is not my choice either. Leaving politicians wreck whole national state of affairs is a concern. Little Gambia means so much.

Chei Bai Toubab! mos, li lal la?
What is so much about Mama Africa when matters of little Gambia set on rolling? Would you not consider this a bit of encroachment over the larger soil of Africa? The issue at hand hangs over the tiny strip of land and River Gambia presided by revolution Chairman turned president.
There reigns in that country a president who bends on destroying the entire country and gone far too enough in that venture. He turns around blaming everyone else for what he is doing worse than anyone.
By observation there is something very seriously wrong with that president. This is Focus on Gambia and no way of spreading it over the vast land of Mama Africa.
You have been commended for your interest and everything in Gambian accord. That is part of gentle Gambian appreciation. I cannot see how that relates to Mama Africa.
So help me to understand how Africa comes in the equation.
Just to remind those who care, that as matters stand, there is something very seriously wrong with this president.
Day by day, there will be some proof from even the Gambia Daily Observer information regarding how something is certainly wrong with this president.
Latest Editorial of the Observer is so revealing when taken under clear view point. There is so much for the president and about his ways.
Also on The Point, the visiting Governor Nigerian Central Bank relates so much to corruption. That is a key issue for president of Gambia. It is his (president of Gambia) filthy spread of corruption that is taking full shape as others emulate.
That makes the president stand out very prominent as having something very seriously wrong with him.
Because you hate politics so much Toubab1020, you may go by looking at matters from other angles save politics. That is, if you ever care. Sorry if you don't. |

Kobo,
Links you popped on fit well. It may take some time but surely, what has been going wrong all these years could not escape curious scrutiny.
What the author of that Foroyaa commentary Bijou Peters brought up is very much in line with what concern has been raised about matters regarding how much Gambia is sinking deeper.
Sadly enough, whenever simple facts are raised over here in Bantaba, that is seen as being "political".
Gambians will continue paying the price when for all the wrong conducts nobody challenges the crooked hands behind the massive destruction.
One thing is certain. Yaya Jammeh will never admit his faults and will never want to improve. My reason for that is because he sees the best of himself and the worst of all others.
Something is seriously very wrong with this president.
Toubab1020,
I am not here to sanction and will not accept anyone staying from contributing to whatever topic bearing my poor name as reason. You are free to abstain from sharing your views but not in my name.
If for any time view-points clash someone takes that as reason for abstention, we may end up with all hands up within a span of time. Go on Toubab, all the threads are for all the posters. After the full stop, the post becomes public property. Go on. |

| Karamba,Nothing to do with you personally be assured,I would rather discuss matters of general interest and local news.Not so exciting as running everyone down that occours in politics which is founded on rumors and counter rumors,the truth (yes I know we have had discussions on bantaba "What is truth?" )Politics is all about money and power nothing else,The people ? Not often,"they" may be thrown a few scraps at election time otherwise they "exist", thats all,in EVERY country. |
