REFER LEGAL LIBEL TUSSLE ON WAR OF WORDS FROM RELATED BANTABA GAMBIAN POLITICS Mariam Denton's LIBEL CASE- UDP vs APRC UNDER http://www.gambia.dk/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=10685
NOTE ACCORDING TO REPORTER; "When the case was called, Justice Singhateh ordered parties to file their addresses and then adjourned the matter to 16th May 2011 for adoption of briefs. It would be recalled that Lawyer Mariam Denton sued FJC who was at the time, director of Press and Public Relations, Office of the President, for the sum of D10 million as damages for the injury caused to her credit, reputation and profession by publishing defamatory words against her in the Daily Observer newspaper. Denton also sued the Daily Observer newspaper for D5 million as damages for furthering the publication and circulation of the defamatory publication."
D15 million damages appear to be a substantial amount JUST WONDERING WHICH OF THESE ARE MORE DEFAMATORY; BASED ON POLITICS OF SLANDER, SMEARING CAMPAIGN OR DISTORTION OF POLITICAL INCORRECT OF SAME LEGACY AND ERA
COMPARE DEFAMATORY STATEMENTS ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN MADE BY FJC AND CERTAIN SLANDEROUS REMARKS; AMONGST OTHERS FROM BAMBA K. MASS'S WITH "Banjul Mafia"ESPECIALLY THESE;
1. FJC ACCORDING TO REPORTER ACCUSED FOR REFERRING TO A COMMENT ON "UDP WOMEN" WITH "THOSE UDP WOMEN";
"The war of words, which resulted to this case, came following Lamin Waa Jumara’s comments published in the Daily Observer of Thursday May 10, 2001, in reaction to a GRTS radio programme on women participation in politics. He [Juwara] had said that Gambian women had equal political opportunities and that they had no cause to complain. He said women should emulate UDP women like Mariam Denton, Mary Jones-Darboe and others who were in the struggle for the restoration of democracy and good governance in the country.
FJC countered Juwara’s assertions, in a story published in the Daily Observer Friday May 11th, 2001 edition. In the story captioned, ‘Juwara is finished’, she commented on Juwara’s allegation that there was opportunism in the issue of women involvement in national politics. In the said publication FJC said: “Those UDP women whom he [Juwara] praised were the opportunists he was referring to. They are following UDP because their brothers, uncles and husbands were corrupt and were implicated by the famous Alghali Commission and other commissions and that we the women of the APRC will follow the party to latter."
2. AND BAMBA K. MASS CLAIMING "TO CLEAR SOME DUST IN THE AIR" AS TRUTH" PUBLISH THESE FOR WIDE CIRCULATION;
"So when Yaya married a girl of the protectorate (a girl from Brikama), the Mafia was alarmed so they tried with their
young girls to form members of Tuti’s inner circle so as to try either subdue or destroy her marriage. Coming from a rural background, Tuti Faal was convinced to surround herself with some prominent Banjul women—the majority of whom are either truly light skinned known as the “Half Caste.” or bleached to the core. The likes of Zahra Sallah, Sukai Mbye, Samera Kebbeh, Isha Neneh Balla Gaye. There was only Sifie Aminata Hydara who came from out side Banjul .
They had a well calculated plan and now that Tuti is gone, they have to act wisely or else this new one is different from the cool Jawara and if their plans are uncovered, their cartel would be doomed. As the Wolof said “ NDAN KAN NDANKAN MOI JAPHA GOOLO”, meaning small catches a monkey. With that phrase, the Mafia got Jammeh too when they had him bowed to their bait by marrying Miss Alima Sallah, who is the daughter of Alagie O G Sallah, career civil servant since the Jawara era and now Gambia ’s ambassador to Saudi Arabia . The girl’s mother we must remember is Zahra Sallah who at one time was a member of Tuti Faal’s inner circle who after Tuti’s departure from state house, never bothered to contact her ever again as the interest they had in Tuti was their farm State House and Tuti had left that place."
