Three Gambians Get UN Special Court Contract
By Bubacarr K. Sowe
Three members of staff of the Gambia Judiciary have recently left for the Hague, in the Netherlands, where they are expected to serve as interpreters at the United Nations Special Tribunal for Sierra Leone.
According to the acting Judicial Secretary, Haruna Jaiteh, the trio are Malang Badjie, a registrar with the judiciary, Baba Saidykhan and Almamy Sabally, both senior interpreters with the judiciary.
“The three were selected after two rounds of training delivered by the special court’s personnel,” Mr. Jaiteh told reporters on Tuesday.
He said that the men will facilitate the interpretation of Gambian languages which might be spoken by witnesses to the court. Mr. Jaiteh also said that the duration of the contract would depend on the length of the case before the court.
Meanwhile, Foroyaa has learnt that the men will be interpreting for the Tribunal on the case of the former Liberian President, Charles Taylor, who is being tried for atrocities he allegedly committed during the Sierra Leonean bloody civil war.
