It amazes me that learned judges who are supposed to be protectors,
interpreters and enforcers of the law of the land, are turning the law on
its head by allowing themselves to be used by the State to prosecute
members of the fourth Estate who are lawfully doing their jobs.
The judges by tacitly agreeing to toe the lines of the government are
mortgaging their conscience and failing in the discharge of their duties
and when a case is finally brought against the lunatic Jammeh in a world
court of competent jurisdiction, these lawyers will equally have a case to
answer.
For justice to be seen as done in The Gambia and for its citizens to have
confidence in the judicial system in the country, judges must be seen as
dispensing justice without fear or favor. To do contrary will mean The
Gambia as currently constituted, is nothing more than a banana republic
that is being ruled by a mad murderous man.
