Will Yaya Jammeh Survive true Justice in Gambia?
This question is relevant to the extent when we consider the emergence of Yaya Jammeh as lawless leader of Gambian nation. In a Gambia where true law and proper order takes right place, will that be conducive for the very survival of Yaya Jammeh?
Clearly, because Yaya came to power by blatant lawless means, it is easier to understand why he will not prefer the respect for laws. He can only survive where there are no laws.
Lawlessness therefore is a survival strategy for Yaya Jammeh is is nothing but bitter enemy of every decent law on this planet.

I strongly believe that Jammeh can survive in a democratic and free Gambia and continue to win elections a few times. But he has to do certain things and put certain things in place:
1. set up a human rights commission to investigate human rights abuses.
2. release political dertainess
3. release or speedily prosecute all detained individuals according to the law.
4. reverse the current media laws and embrace a liberal media freedom
5. privatise GRTS and Radio Gambia or make them semi-autonomous where they are equally accessible to all Gambians and political parties.
6. Security of tenure of civil servants where hiring and firing must be approved by the National Assembly
7. True independence of the legislature and the judiciary. None can be fired by the President.
8. allocate national development budget to the different regions and districts of the country based on population and other socio-economic indicators rather than patronage and political allegiance.
9. appoint a press secretary or spokesperson to regualarly brief the independent press or media. This will be a person who should be able to explain and perhaps put the Presidents sometimes blunt but outragious remarks into a more proper perspective. Jammeh needs a PR expert...
10. adopt and open-door policy for the independent press at the State House and govt. offices.
11. Free education from kindergaten to high school...
12. transfer military affairs to the Defense Dept, and strengthen civil society institutions so that military coups become a thing of the past... |

Spot on Kay,
The absence of these outlined conditions is where things lie. To have these in place is to deny Yaya survival. He is just not able to live with good laws. Bring good laws then claim a victim; illegal Yaya Jammeh.
In short, Yaya is a product of illegality and tha'ts what he can survive though. He is so bent that when you measure him, don't use steel poles. That will crack his twisted and crooked bones. Either have Yaya without lawful order or get lawful order without Yaya. The two are not compatible.
Yaya, if you are reading, will you clear the air? You can't keep laws, could you? |

Kay,
One beauty about research is when we start with a big chunk of details and then refine that into the most minute element of finding. That holds in the case of Yaya Jammeh. We need to understand and appreciate why he does what he does and pick the linking elements. Then we refine, refine, and refine. Finally, the result of it comes to what has been there all the time but could not be recognised because it is covered in dust and mud.
I can now say with greater certainty that Yaya Jammeh is operating from different values and beliefs to most Gambians.
When you take a look at the issue of Ousainou Darbo particularly about his lack of action as many critics put it, let us put that in this equation of Yaya Jammeh lawlessness.
Here is Ousainou whose whole life orientation is lawful conduct and civil obedience. He might have thought by playing the rule of the game that works. Unfortunately, the legal environment is not there for him. There is no case of winning by law when it relates a case involving Yaya Jammeh (1994-2010.) Things may change any sooner or later.
Bottom line is that laws are dead in Gambia. Therefore any form of legal redress is wild dream that will never come true (1994-2010.) Again, things may change sooner or later.
We end up blaming the wrong person(s)
What Gambians need doing is to challenge the illegal being of Yaya Jammeh as leader (1994-2010) To carry on engaging in politics or legal tussles with him without correcting the illegal fabric is futile and will remain so until that error is rectified.
When we go by laws, Lang Tombong and rest have nothing to answer. Yaya should not have existed in the first place. Or shall we say, once Lang and others are settled, then the Laws of Gambia turn on Yaya for his responsibility in that July 1994 coup.
Where in the laws of Gambia has it been ratified that the July 1994 coup is not unlawful. It is still unlawful. Don't mind the so called indemnity clause or the fact that elections have been carried last fisteen years. The issue at hand is more than that. Yaya is still unclean when we take good account of that July coup. We may all choose to pretend that it is all over. It is not.
Those who choose to engage Yaya politically or legally using his arena in real sense contribute to his illegal bearing more. Yaya has to be tackled. The whole nation of Gambia could not stay as if Yaya is settled. We are making big mistake by going into elections with him or challenging him in law courts where he appointed all the judges to back his illegal existence.
Should you ask what I think Gambians could do my voluntary respomse is that let people disregard him and fight for their rights. That will end up in a state of ungovernability; something to dislodge him. He will use force and the population will resist more and more. Later he runs away or gets captured.
With the army now in shreds, the fear that held up people is less severe.
Better still, when true justice, law and order get restored in Gambia, the population of free people will use that power to undo and dislodge the entire scheme of this illegal Yaya Jammeh disorder.
In short, Yaya survives on illegal and disorderly scheme of politics and bogus laws. |

Lot more thanks to you Kobo for passing on this most captivating exposition. It is deep source of relief to know that Gambians are not ready tolerating this delusion any further.
Brilliant work Isatou. |

| A government premised on illegality cannot be said to be cleansed by an election as in an afterthought , what preceded was the illegal act of overthrowing a legitimate democratically elected government. It is just like calling a spoon a spade when in actual fact it is a spoon simple eh!Usurpation of the presidential seat was an illegal act , the elections that ensued were not enough to clean that act nor can it be cleansed by an indemnity clause coached by the usurper himself to shield him from legal action as it were. That however will one day come back to haunt him for sure.SO many days for thiefman one day for master yard as they say in "Aku" parlance. |

The most senior son of a certain family was born out of wedlock. Long after the family head (father) died, it is still not possible to settle inheritance.
Tadition holds it that a child born out of wedlock does not have share in the inheritance.
Eldest son (the illegitimate one) controls the resources and seen big. But society's leaders say he has no right claim to inheritance. The family's resources stay in hands of the most unclean.
How do we help this family settle? |

| I suggest that Yaya Jemuskorey Jemmeh is a megalomaniac who suffers from a serious delusion which condition(s) make him do these acts we all condemn daily. He is excessively in love with himself to the exclusion of all other persons so that those we ordinarily see as his close mates suddenly morph into his worst enemies thereby end in either his VIP lounge aka "NDUMBO TWO " or six feet deep or disappear the list goes on. |

This Yaya man has to know that the longer he strives on staying as killer president, the more severe it becomes for him at time of his departure from illegal power. |
