The legal den of Gambia is no doubt full of lions and lioneses as we loudly heard the roar when they came together recently.
There is nothing to doubt these men and women know the law, constitutionality and proper governance. They all know that Yaya Jammeh came to power by breaking Gambian laws and now bent on instituting illegality by dictatorial might.
Words are not enough (as lawyers are best known for) Gambians are asking about the illegality of Yaya Jammeh from when he deflowered the virgin Republican Constitution by an infamous, ugly coup to what we all know as total lawlessness in Gambia of today.
Are Gambian lawyers blind or simply playing selfish? How many of them lined up for jobs under this illegal regime only to be bouncing around like a gutter tennis?
Too much talking and mastery of the law is not enough. Leaving this illegal imposture sinking the Gambian nation and people is due for serious challenge. You legal people can do that better. Why are you sitting with frozen hands? Knowledge of the law is no exemption for lawyers, so as ignorance of the law is no excuse for criminals. Wake up!!
I think it was Lawyer Fafa Mbai (former Attorney General & Minister of Justice) who witnessed dangerous precedents, adviser or conspirator to Commissions of enquiries and hiring of so-called mercenary Judges and now the professor very friendly to this regime.
What came out of the commissions for former President Jawara? Was it not few hundred thousand dalasis, few livestocks and destitute president toppled by coup & coupist emerged as a millionaire president who dishes out millions of dalasis as patronage, politicking with state resources, who is supreme or above the law, the judiciary, the constitution, who considered the country belongs to THE PRESIDENT AND HE IS THE ONLY MAN & SOLDIER
Fafa Mbai if memory serves well played key role in legitimising the junta. First to be hired for twisting the laws, he is believed having had his hands behind some nefarious inputs of doctored Gambian laws. How he ended with the junta is still not known.
Apart from him, many other legal hands lined up and could not end any better as persons and for the nation.
