President Yahya Jammeh from the high chair to managing log sheets-what a shame!

Once again The Gambia has witnessed another swearing in ceremony for newly appointed Secretaries of state. A monotous repeat version we have been seeing for the past 14 years with no meaningful results attached. Its not only disheartening to observe Yahya Jammeh's sad story,it is pitiful and confusing to say the least. During this last swearing in ceremony Yahya Jammeh started a new dimension. That is,by expressing the confidence he has in these newly appointed SOSs,saying he is confident they will perform well. Knowing Yahya,he did not miss using his "tags" again. What advise did he give to Dr Touray,Nancy Njie and Fatima Badjie? Here it is:"...Do not listen to those bad elements saying if you join cabinet you may not last long..." Now this reminds me of the words of a wise person. Who said this:"evil only sees what evil does.." Yahya Jammeh himself is the BAD ELEMENT! He caused the reasons. He made it possible for any mouth to talk about the idea of people not lasting long in cabinet! Shameless Yahya you caused it! You are the one who hired,fired,hired and then fired over and over! You have been crowned an International President of the millenium with the highest rate of firings. If any of your secretaries of state dares come out here searching for "bad elements" to blame they will be taught a lesson they will ever live to remember. Another new twist in Yahya's tirades was when he expressed his appreciations towards Isatou Njie Saidy by using her length of time as a good example! That was the worst example Yahya could have ever used. The longest serving SOS is Yahya himself. He has been the SOS defence for the past 13 years with no changes! He has been the Alkalo of Kanilai from 1994 to now with no changes! He has been Gambia's Ambassador to Taiwan based in Banjul for the past 14 years with changes! Has he forgotten that? Why couldn't the "perceived bad elements" convince Yahya to leave these positions?
Look here Yahya! get before your mirror and see through your eyes then read them. You will see right inside your own eyes that you are faking the real picture here.
Another development during this man's recent lengthy speech of confusion is where he started running the show for the new SOSs even before they reached their departments! Now read the following excerpt from the daily observer. A President reaching out for log sheets to the extent where he GAVE ORDERS??? To who? Department clerks? Tell me if this system is working?
 
QUOTE BEGIN".....He then called on each department of state to ensure that there is a transportation officer to be responsible for the regular maintenance of vehicles. There should also be a log sheet for all vehicles. He then gave an order that henceforth each department of state should provide a transportation officer and log sheets for the vehicles....."QUOTE END
 
No comment after this short "bitter" root from Yahya Jammeh's animal farm.
