Another Setback For The State’s Case Against Pap Saine!!

…. As Magistrate Jahateh Gets New Bank Job!!!

By Staff Writer Bolong Jammeh, Banjul.

Magistrate Sagarr Jahateh of the Kanifing Magistrate court, who used to preside over Pap Saine’s criminal trial,  has tendered her resignation letter to the Office of the Chief Justice Abdou Karim Savage in the capital Banjul, the Freedom Newspaper has learnt. Magistrate Jahateh was earlier called to the lower bench in 2008 with two of her female colleagues. Her resignation came as a big shock and surprise to CJ Savage, said our judicial sources. Sources further indicated that Magistrate Jahateh is a docile and a lady with conscience who never tolerates to be used by Jammeh and his hit men. Sources said that she former magistrate took the right decision by refusing to be part of the conspiracy to send Pap Saine to jail.

Here in the Gambia, Judges and Magistrates are becoming increasingly worried about the prospect of their job, as they  cannot make independent decisions in the dispensation of justice without the consent of President Jammeh. Some time ago, president Jammeh openly stated in the National Television  Services that he has the mantle to interfere with cases involving the state.
