Subj: Re: Buharry and JDAM - [&gt;-&lt;] KIND ATT&#39;N: Friends of 
Hassan Touray


 JDAM and Buharry,

Buharry: I wish to seek your permission and assistance to embed the 
Raaki video of the QGIG presentation on the Bijilo Forest Project. I do 
not see an embed code on the video. Is it on Youtube already? Please 
help.

JDAM:
Thank you for sharing. I am putting together a montage on the recently 
unveiled QGIG (Saudi King's investment in Islam) development called the 
Bijilo Forest Project (www.thegdp.org,Lighthouse, The Lighthouse 
Herald). I would appreciate it if you could kindly put together legal 
summaries regarding The Alimenta, Baba Jobe (YDE), and Jack Faal 
matters, and a summary of the extortion involved in the Hassan Touray 
Affair. I will weave them in with due credit.

I do understand the religious undertones (Islamic Summit) of the Bijilo 
Forest Development but the article will suggest that even Islam does 
not desire to associate with such a convenient muslim as Yahya. 
Hopefully the Saudi government will come to realize how 
counterproductive this investment is to the fortunes of Islam and the 
good name of the Islamic summit.

Thank you in advance.

 


 Haruna.

"Frivolous charge" Ginny? I agree, but then Her Lordship disagrees with 
both of us, and the overwhelming majority of G-Post members.
 
As indicated in the writeup forwarded by George, this is clearly a 
commercial dispute, and it must not be resolved in the criminal courts. 
This is not to rule out all criminal accountability, but it is hard to 
see how that should be the Gambia Government's first port of call. 
 
However, there are precedents and we should, to a degree, be fearful 
for what awaits Hassan Touray and his at-large co-accused. Although the 
ultimate outcome for previous cases with international dimensions, e.
g., Alamenta, was good for the accused, the domestic cases resulted in 
real travesties. I am thinking here about the Baba Jobe case, and the 
relatively recent saga  involving Dr Jack Faal. The first G-Poster to 
tell us the ultimate outcome in the Jack Faal affair gets a donation to 
US$5 to his/her opposition party of choice.
 
I think "frivolous", in relationship to legal proceedings, is a rule of 
law concept. When a case, civil, or, criminal,  with high political 
dimensions comes before a Gambian court, there must exist serious 
conscience and courage on the bench for an edifying outcome.
 
Freedom Newspaper suggests Hassan Touray thinks his people can come up 
with the money for the outrageous US$1m+ bail bond. I am unsure about 
the wisdom of committing to such an apparently unconstitutional bail 
condition. Should Hassan disappear, even through no choice of his, the 
Government may proceed to forfeit the bail. Can you appreciate the 
potential duality of loss here?  I guess Her Lordship is covering 
herself by effectively ensuring no bail is granted.
 
In The Gambia of Professor Nasiru Deen, "frivolous" can be extremely 
costly.
 
And so like YJ on a tangential matter, I am also "puzzled"

Greetings all, OK, am I understanding this correctly?  Pristine 
Consulting enters into a contract with the Gambian government, and then 
when the company seeks payment from the government for the said 
company's services, the government first begins arresting and 
intimidating the employees of said company, and then arrests the head 
of the company and brings up frivolous charges against him?  Is this 
all because the government doesn't want to pay the money they agreed to 
in the contract?  Or am I somehow missing something here?

If this is the case, then it seems that the Gambian government has 
really sunk to another low here.  I mean, my goodness, just pay the 
guy/company his money and move on.

Ginny
