JAMMEH'S GOV'T TOYS WITH GAMBIANS
as removal of IEC Boss is a mere game of deceit
By Yankuba Jambang-Associate Editor
Again
Yahya Jammeh believes that Gambians are in a political slumber; he had
intentionally used Mr. Dondeh Njie to register tens of thousands of
illegal aliens to vote in the upcoming presidential elections. He
[Jammeh] knew there was going to be public outcry both from the
opposition and the independent media (out side the Gambia). The
Chairman of the 'Independent Electoral Commission'
was just used to rig the elections in advance. His removal was just a
mere game of politics to heap all the blames on his head and make him
the villain of the entire drama. The question is: were the voters'
cards issued to unqualified non-Gambians revoked after the chairman had
been removed? The answer is an emphatic NO.
The Implications of Ms Mcdoll's statements
When
a government minister for information admitted on record that the
electoral chairman was removed because unqualified non-Gambians were
registered to vote, then there is every legal measures for the
opposition parties to seek redress in the country's Supreme court to
void all those voters' cards that have been issued illegally. The mere
dismissal of the electoral chairman means nothing when tens of
thousands of non-Gambians are with our national voters' cards. This is
a serious indictment from Jammeh's information minister who supposedly
earned the ministerial post by being generous with her body.
Gambia's future
must be decided by Gambians and not by anyone else. We cannot let
rebels from Cassamance to select our president. This was the case in
2001 presidential election and we cannot allow a repeat of the same
electoral fraud. Jammeh knows Gambians WILL not vote for him after
having murdered unknown number of people and after having wrecked the
Gambian economy in his 14 year brutal rule. He does not intend to leave
Gambia in peace but in pieces.
Without
a full revocation of all the voters cards issued illegally to aliens,
the opposition parties should pull out from the race otherwise it's
just going to be a waste of time, energy and resources. You cannot
compete with a contestant who happens to be the judge!
