Bantaba folks... we were curious on what people's take were on the interview with Hon Jatta? Like any institution we all go through periods of learning and development, growth and maturity... So your feedback is always very welcome negative or otherwise...
Few questions...
Do you think we were too hard or disrespectful to Hon Jatta?
Do you think Hon Jatta answered the questions to your satisfaction?
As a PDOIS supporter or Hon Jatta's admirer, do you think he made the right decision to come to speak to us at Gainako?
As always we try to squeeze and challenge our guests to give our listeners the answers we seek on their behalf? Sometimes we can be pushy but I think is part of being a Journalist...
Any take is gratefully appreciated...
Moderators- Can you post the audio here please if possible????? Thanks |

dBaldeh Not all have time to listen, is it possible to transcribe your interviews especially this one? Verbatim report of interview proceedings is tedious but can provide exposure, transparency and good basis for proper analysis and/or comprehension of the issues? It is wrong to direct question(s) openly to "P.D.O.I.S admirer", supporters or militants for feedback, as national issues were addressed and objective was to disseminate information to public overriding partisan cause 
There is still extra work that can be done to produce a transcript that will help to assess and rate both of you properly; in interests of transparency, accountability and posterity? However you asked pertinent questions but I can recalled also Sidia Jatta told you that most of questions were already answered when you came back technically asking similar questions which appear to be repetitive on them again?
WE ARE SOLICITING FROM GAINAKO INVALUABLE ASSISTANCE TO SPENT TIME IN COMPILING AND FORWARDING A TRANSCRIPT OF THIS INTERVIEW AMONGST OTHERS AND FUTURE |

Baldeh, you did pose legitimate questions to Sedia, but I found his answers quite arrogant when you mentioned to him how much you admired and respect him in your statement for a number of times, his only response to compliment that statement of yours was “ I heard of that thousand times”. He was like addressing a first military intake, very angry in response. Your previous interviews were great.
No offend is intended just an observation.

Uncle Momodou thank you for the feedback. And thanks for the corrections on the capital of Norway... I believe is Oslo... I honestly get confused between Norway and Denmark... I work with Danish and Norwegian speakers but I still confuse them...
Thanks again for everything... |

Brother Kobo, thanks you too for the feedback. I absolutely agree with you that the transcript would be helpful for analysis and content. I honestly don't know exactly how to transcribe the interview... I will do it on every interview if we know how.
Would you mind scaring on how we can do that... Am sure there may be some software available for it...
And the question for PDOIS supporters was just meant to spark some discussion... but nothing personal...
I wanted Hon Jatta to discuss into details about what the opposition plans were more for the future than the past... but it was clear he would not go there...
The interview also revealed how they really view us in the Diaspora and the electorates in general...
I greatly appreciate him taking the time though and honestly I have admired him all my life regardless of my view on their politics...
I hope Halifa will finally agree to come and discussmore pertinent issues...
Thanks

YJ thanks for the observation... I noticed he did not acknowledge my compliments even though I meant it... Those are little things we have in our society and is a sign of respect for the elderly... He is truly a model citizen in terms of education and living a simple life..... I learned a lot from our interview...

Many Americans are confused about the capitals of the Scandinavian countries Denmark, Sweden and Norway. I have heard people calling Copenhagen the capital of Stockholm.
By the way, their languages is that of like Pularr, Tukulor and Pulo Futa. They can most of the time speak their dialects and understand each other. |

Welcome YKJ of Senegambia News (if rightly guessed)
Remarks highlighted appear to be contradictory and your personal observations and allegations may not be valid or neither are they constructive criticisms but thoughts suggestive venomous petty spat
With due regards they are different from mine (and may be amongst others); as Sidia Jatta's remarks can be viewed or construed that he tried to show or display some element of humor and downplay the overwhelming patronising from dBaldeh in that situation; if ruling out suspicion of never-ending political power war, partisan politics, rivalry, prejudice, vendetta, animosity, malice, spite and smearing campaign of lifelong enemies between certain UDP militants and PDOIS
However you already contradicted yourself, as your observations and allegations were blunt, malicious, offensive and blatant error of judgement
Also I (amongst others) are convinced that overall weight of issues addressed from interview outweigh that petty observation
On final note, it is sensible to share and apply your words and/or thoughts on mine with this phrase; "No offend is intended just an observation"
dBaldeh Thanks for taking our constructive criticisms on-board but will come back to you later; if I can assist on transcribing this important interview
Regards!

Kobo:
Like the many of you, I did enjoy Hon. Jatta's interview. Hon. Jatta at some refused to engage the questions that were posed to him and was the interviewer himself on hard defense. I observed a similar pattern with Hon. Sallah which I think is very uncalled for. That is a turnoff to the disappointment of many. Due to time, we failed in providing a transcribe. The second opportunity, I think my colleague Mawdo Demba seemed not that ready for the person of Sidia. Hon Jatta made it more difficult by his defense.
While appreciating their service to Gambians and humanity, I think it is high time that they pass the leadership baton to the younger ones. The G(N) alternative offered in replacement of NADD in my view still remains weak. The reason is because it is the same old faces doing same things.
Hon jatta scored some points on the Arab spring. Like him, I too question if infact the Arab spring is effective. We are seeing more problems in this region. He made a great point about why they didn't participate in the parliamentary elections.
He said the parable is like to returning to fire to be burnt again, when you've been burnt before and certainly knows fire burns. Rhetorically, he asked: If you return to that fire, who will help you?
PDOIS or NADD group needs to change their methods to be able to appeal to the Gambian masses. Politics is not only about idealogy but numbers as well. I understand that both Hon Jatta, Sallah and their group are made up already on their ideas as a result of philosophy or party stance, I see a real problem with that. That makes it hard to compromise on anything.
Overall, hon jatta is a societal/national model. History certainly will have them in good books.
Best regards,
Yero

- Press and/or media is for Public so let the Public have proper information for consumption, awareness, informed and right decisions
- Provide transcripts and editorials that can be reviewed and scrutinised as FACTS; for transparency, accountability, open censorship, objectivity in judgement, fairness and posterity
- I don't think your comments are valid and fair on both of them! In general "EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO YOUR OWN OPINION" but we cannot be placing emphasis on one's own opinion or our subjective individual opinions respectively as Public opinion; without any feedback on general consensus properly gathered or received!
While appreciating their service to Gambians and humanity, I think it is high time that they pass the leadership baton to the younger ones.
- Its going to happen in due course as no man is indispensable; "In Saa Allah""!
The G(N)(6) alternative offered in replacement of NADD in my view still remains weak. The reason is because it is the same old faces doing same things.
- What made you consider G(
N)(6) an "alternative offered in replacement of NADD"
- What do you mean "it is the same old faces doing same things" and blaming them for
- Without "same old faces" what political opposition leadership force do you have on the ground? Who can be mobilised to face up to the political challenges; especially political leadership and running a political campaign against notorious tyrant Jammeh and APRC
- Can you reveal who is ready, groomed and/or which politicians/political party could have filled vacuum or can take-over now? Be reminded that each party has membership, a legacy, its constitution, rules, policies, strategies and tactics
- There are many important factors for development and effectiveness of opposition front. What is your point on "same old faces doing same old thing" because it is not clear as sign of weakness in that context stated? They are the leadership given mandate, representing a political party and facing the challenges against a hostile political system?
Hon jatta scored some points on the Arab spring. Like him, I too question if infact the Arab spring is effective. We are seeing more problems in this region. He made a great point about why they didn't participate in the parliamentary elections.
He said the parable is like to returning to fire to be burnt again, when you've been burnt before and certainly knows fire burns. Rhetorically, he asked: If you return to that fire, who will help you?
PDOIS or NADD group needs to change their methods to be able to appeal to the Gambian masses. Politics is not only about ideology but numbers as well. I understand that both Hon Jatta, Sallah and their group are made up already on their ideas as a result of philosophy or party stance, I see a real problem with that. That makes it hard to compromise on anything.
- What is their methods not appealing to Gambian masses
- What methods do you have in mind that are appealing to Gambian masses
- I don't understand what you mean on this statement that "Politics is not only about ideology but numbers as well."? What is P.D.O.I.S "ideology" and how can any opposition have the "numbers" against Jammeh/APRC under previous elections and especially present political climate? What do you expect P.D.O.I.S to do or want them to do; within their political rights and as citizens franchised
- What is your alternative? Do you have any proposals for P.D.O.I.S to adopt; better than its policies, strategies and tactics to achieve more success, increased popularity and "numbers"
- Can you highlight or forward what you consider as wrong policies, strategies and tactics adopted for 2006 on NADD strategy and Agenda 2011; to woo electorates and/or mobilising strategy with other opposition parties as an INDEPENDENT LEGAL DEMOCRATIC POLITICAL PARTY FIGHTING ITS POLITICAL CAUSE AND WHAT THEY CONSIDER AS NATIONAL CAUSE OR IN INTEREST OF NATION; WITH LIMITED RESOURCES AT ITS DISPOSAL
Overall, hon jatta is a societal/national model. History certainly will have them in good books.
- Point noted
A USEFUL QUOTE ON OPPOSITION: Walter Lippmann
quote:
"The opposition is indispensable. A good statesman, like any other sensible human being, always learns more from his opponents than from his fervent supporters. For his supporters will push him to disaster unless his opponents show him where the dangers are. So if he is wise he will often pray to be delivered from his friends, because they will ruin him. But though it hurts, he ought also to pray never to be left without opponents; for they keep him on the path of reason and good sense."
