STATE URGED TO SHOW COMMITMENT IN MAYOR JENG’S TRIAL
By Babucarr K. Sowe
Lamin S. Camara, Counsel for Pa Sallah Jeng (the Mayor of Banjul) has urged the state to demonstrate commitment by bringing witnesses before the High Court in order to avoid delay in the case. Appearing before Justice Monageng on Tuesday, Lawyer Camara said it is displeasure to see the case delayed both on Monday and Tuesday due to the absence of the prosecution witness.
“We are always here. The state has to demonstrate a similar commitment on this matter,” he told the court. The state counsel Merley Wood told the court that it is unfortunate that they could not bring the witness on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday, the matter was adjourned to Tuesday following the absence of the prosecution witness. The court ruled that it will consider the inability of the prosecution to bring the witness to court and adjourned the case to 18th of December.
