If one finds themselves going round and round in circles it's best to break the cycle.
Jammehs here for at least five more years let's all get over it and move on! If the issues are about policies and not personal character assassinations let's talk policies. I think the question you raised Karamba in the previous was "If one finds themselves going round and round in circles it's best to break the cycle.

Sister Omega,
This is just the beginning. We have not gone one inch with Jammeh. So long as he persists on doing wrong, we are here to disagree. He is paid by Gambia tax payers. It is wrong for him to engage in private business competing the same tax payers for limited economic opportunities. Can you justify that? If he makes you vice president, is that what you are thinking of emulating? Do you seriously have a clear conscience about Jammeh and the way he conducts himself; politics apart? It is worrying !! |

Karamba and Santafara can you name the businesses which Jammeh is personally involved in and how much profits he has made from them? And also the amount of tax he has paid from these earnings? Can you also state the source where you got the information from?

Sister Omega,
Are you still doubting that Jammeh is involved with private business or just out to pull legs. Not only is Jammeh involved in private business. By virtue of his covetous nature, has dips his long hand of manipulation into every public corporation. GAMTEL and GPA are only two of them. You mentioned about his profit and tax payments. Sorry, you have to contact him to declare that. You may start from his Youth Enterprise. And please, be fair to share your findings. |

President Jammeh is engaged in full blown private business. One example is the Youth Enterprise business. According what president Jammeh declared as reason for jailing Baba Jobe, it was about why Jobe mismanaged the Youth Enterprise. Jammeh clearly stated that the Youth Enterprise is his own creation. There are queries that president Jammeh is not paying tax for businesses he engages in. What do you think are the wider implications where a president engages in private business, does not pay tax, and his income is not declared? Is this fair trade ?
Karamba don't play smart you were the one who posed the question. If Jammeh has you say has a private monetary interest in the businesses you mentioned then prove it. You mentioned the Youth Enterprise Business claiming Jammeh said it was his creation. Then what are you saying are you inferring that this enterprise should be publicly auditted? Out of interest could you tell us,which clause in the Gambian Constitution states that no President must not be engaged in business? Someone mentioned with the exception of agriculture is this correct?
Without confirmation these allegations are just that allegations. Karamba Show us the proof. If Jammeh is actually in business first, and then we can debate whether or not it is unconstitutional.

The biggest proof in the eyes of the whole wide world is Jammeh's direct involvement in every revenue bearing operation in Gambia. Are you serious that you don't know Jammeh is meddling with everything in Gambia? What better way do you anyone to prove how Jammeh is misruling Gambia? Are you reading only Bantaba. Can you type in your address space: Corrupt, Killer, President Jammeh of Gambia. That is enough to prove. Whatever your search reveals, share it with us all.

Karamba copied from Blogger News "Does the NIA want to return Africa to the dark years of slavery and British Imperialism.?" (Remember this is the link you posted in  )
...Despite every effort made to discredit President Jammeh by online agencies..not one shread of evidence has ever been produced.It is either heresay or inuendo.His only crime is his popularity with the ordinary people of his nation.For which he is constantly challenged by old alliances and feudal tribalism.I have asked this question many many times….if he wasnt there….what would you replace him with.?From what i have seen and the 23 death threats that i have already recieved…my opinion is I dare not think.At this ongoing eleventh hour i still have every confidence in this President and his overwhelming commitment to shake the Gambia kicking and screaming into the 21 st century.

An Online version of the 1997 Gambian Constitution is available on the National Council for Civic Education (NCCE) website:
URL: http://www.ncce.gm/files/constitution.pdf
In it you will find the following:
Salary and allowances 68.
(1) The President shall receive such salary and allowances as may be prescribed by an Act of the National assembly, and such salary and allowances shall not be altered to his or her disadvantage during his or her tenure of office.
(2) The President shall be entitled to such pension and retirement benefits as may be prescribed by an Act of the National assembly and such pension and other benefits shall not be altered to his or her disadvantage after he or she has relinquished office:
Provided that no such pension or other retirement benefits shall be granted to a President who ceases to hold office in accordance with section 67.
(3) The salary and allowances, and pension and retirement benefits, as prescribed by an Act of the National Assembly, shall be exempted from taxation, but the President shall be subject to taxation on all other chargeable income.
(4) The President shall not-
(a) while he or she continues in office as President, hold any other office of profit or emolument whether public or private, occupy any other position carrying the right to remuneration for the rendering of services, or directly or indirectly carry on any trade, business or other undertaking;
Provided that the President may undertake and carry on any agricultural business including farming, horticulture, livestock rearing and artisanal fishing;
(b) undertake any activity inconsistent with his or her official position or expose himself or herself to any situation which carries with it the risk of a conflict developing between his or her official concerns and his or her private interests;
(c) use him or her position as such or use information entrusted to received by him or her in an official position directly or indirectly to enrich himself or herself or any other person. |

| Sister Omega, I think you should download the file and read it. It has been ammended in 2001 and this version says "reprinted 2002". I assume this is the latest version but I don't know what clauses have been ammended after the referandum. |
