Well I see your point DBaldeh, but not all Bar Associations are like the Pakistani Bar that can boycott the courts and precipitously bring down a government. The Gambia Bar Association may be arguably timid, or have a different approach, a less drastic one, but the fact is that it is independent of the government. It has its own president who one time was Lawyer Darboe himself.
Oh! point of correction; Lawyer Darboe never served as president but vice president of the Bar. It was Surahata Janneh who was the president. He and Ousainu made a good team.

Thanks for the correction, Nyari. I appreciate it! I guess I need to start looking at my notes again, huh ?
Is this Lamin J. Darboe (the lawyer and nephew of Lawyer Darboe)engaged in our political debates & expressing a personal UDP party militant opinion or representing UDP leader Darboe & UDP Executive/Secreatriat?
