Thanks Lamin, I read putting the burden on the courts to administer the law..  but how about inability of the courts to carryout the letter of the law? Is it because they are incompetent, is it because there is interference from the executive? Who has the ultimate say and the culprit here?  I have long advocated that if you are appointed to administer justice then regardless of the consequences you should follow the law. Are we to believe that the justices are blatantly ignoring the bail terms just to please the dictator or is the Executive directly interfering on how the judges rule on cases? 

I will take your answer and appreciate the input.

Kind regards

Demba

The Editorial is too mild and too detached, but having said that, you misread Foroyaa in that it is rebuking both the Executive and the Courts, the Courts especially, for judicial vandalism. The paper is simply arguing that the law is not being implemented on bail and unlawful detention. The bail regime in The Gambia is utterly disgraceful, unlawful even, and I think the Courts need challenging on the point

I was really baffled by this editorial from Foroyaa. After almost 20 years with clear evidence of open executive interference with judicial cases, Foroyaa still appears to believe words from President Jammeh. Whatever he said during that swearing ceremony are blatant lies and deception. 

He has personally interfered with cases by first openly commenting on not forgiving the accused before any judgement. I think it is time Foroyaa and other papers NOT believe a word from President Jammeh's mouth. Enough deception. 19 years of lies is enough!!!. We have even seen Judges who appears to make independent judgments get booted out, arrested and persecuted. What evidence does FOROYAA need to believe or not believe President Jammeh?????

Did I misread this editorial: I stand to be corrected! 


Thanks

Demba
