Economic Defects of Bad Governance in Gambia

Economic Defects of Bad Governance in Gambia

By Sarjo Bayang

Governance and economic livelihood relate in very critical ways. Efficient political leaders command the ability to deliver sound economic programmes where resources are adequately allocated for gainful results. On the reverse, inefficient political leaders fail to deliver for sustainable economic outcomes. The irony in Gambia is that our president and those holding for him depend on the economic system for their self gains while they lack commitment and willingness to allow the economy grow. In the absence of sound economic policies, the Gambia’s military regime resorts to compilation of colourful documents based on wild dreams that they know will never yield. The Vision 2020 which is a corrupted concept borrowed from established sources holds no grips for moving the Gambian economy forward. The economy is in deed moving, but backwards, and rapidly so. It was president Jammeh himself who declared in one of his gutful utterances that Vision 2020 is not on track. What is more baffling is that while the Gambia’s economy is falling almost beyond revival, president Jammeh’s financial and material empire is growing like fat pig fed on rotten food. Yes, Jammeh is feeding on the Gambian economy, him growing, our economy draining to decline.

Alhaji Aziz Tamba the former Co-President has since been caged at Mile Two for stealing,duping and other dirty things he did to his former employer President Jammeh. Aziz Tamba was all the time using his special powers at gas stations within the country. He forcefully filled the tanks of his fleet of cars,signing coupons and vouchers under the name of the office of the President. There was no accountability,no sense of responsibility. He did what he liked and stole money from tax payers. He stole millions by duping Jammeh and us. When news reached Jammeh about these credits he was so furious a source revealed.

Nepotism at GAMTEL-It is not enough...Omar Ndow and the Director of GAMCELL are scape goats

Omar Ndow is gone but his ghosts should not leave some GAMTEL officials behind. There are worse eggs within GAMTEL that are yet to be touched why? or why not?It is so simple an answer.Pa Gaye is the husband of the secretary of state for information and techonogy Neneh Mcdold-Gaye. That is the answer. Pa Gaye is far more qualified to be fired and jailed than Omar Ndow,if one is to go by the professional and technical needs of GAMTEL. This means any man or woman heading a department like Pa Gaye's cannot simply be going home every evening, when all land lines and cell phones in The Gambia are not functioning. How on earth could Pa Gaye have escaped President Jammeh's wrath if his darling was not running the show? How?

United Kingdom

It was in the early morning of 22^nd July when our people wake up to do their daily chores, that announcement came over the Radio Gambia of take over of Government by rank and file members of Gambian Armed Force. The unrealistic dream of many Gambians was that this was the day for their redemption but in the hearts and mines of the criminals in uniform, this was the day they won a jackpot over our nation’s coffers. The man know to be leading the event was a poor lieutenant called Yaya Jammeh who have now change his name, spelling into Arabism fashion as’ Yahya Jammeh’. Yaya Jammeh with both animist past and Christian upbringing is today a self confessed Islamic fundamentalist swearing with Holy Quran in all his political meetings.

Mr.Jammeh who was addressing newly sworn Ministers further charged that the West don't have the moral authority to preach democracy to Africans when in his own words"They sponsor criminals to destroy developing countries that have mineral resources to ensure instability and yet they talk about democracy” The Gambian leader says the west don't have have the interest of the Gambia.
“No matter what outsiders tell us, they have no interest in the development of our country. They lecture us about democracy and human rights and yet they exploited us. After robbing us of what they used to develop their nations, they now castigate us for our poverty and backwardness. It is a fact that we have a lot of problems but 98 percent of these problems are not our creation but the legacy of colonialism. The West found us living peacefully and they decided to bring division amongst us, not even considering the tribal, ethnic and cultural entities that existed amongst us",said Gambia's President Yahya Jammeh.

DAKAR, Nov. 24 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese businessman was freed on Friday after being held hostage for nearly three days in Gambia's capital Banjul, Gambian TV reported.

Xu Jianchun, who runs a Chinese restaurant in Banjul, was abducted by four Lebanese and two Nigerians on Tuesday night.

Under the instruction of President Yahya Jammeh, the police conducted a thorough search for Xu and the suspects, setting up checkpoint at each crossroad leading to downtown Banjul from the airport.

As China has no diplomatic relations with Gambia, the Chinese embassy in neighboring Senegal had asked the Gambian embassy to Senegal to take urgent measures to trace down the kidnappers and guarantee the safety of the Chinese citizen.

Xu is in good condition, according to the TV report. After the incident, the Gambia government has pledged to tighten security to protect the lives and properties of foreigners.
