Look who is talking about credulity. Ebou Jallow questioning the integrity of BB Darboe?
What, in this world, is going on?
Nobody is asking BB to "Comitto-back" a butut of the national coffer. The same could not
be said of Ebou Jallow. Thank God Gambians are not as daft as you perceive them to be.

Bakary Darboe, The Beautiful Soul
Credulity is one of humanity's great vulnerabilities. It provides a standing
invitation for the wicked to exploit their brothers and sisters. I am not accusing Mr.
Darboe of wickedness nor attempting any form of public indictment of his actions or
omissions in public office. However, I feel compelled to challenge his non sequitur
mind numbing rebarbative dribbling about his actions in 1994. I have also noticed the
banal reverence to "His Excellency" which I think shall earn the envy of the yokels of
Kiang who are perhaps waxing sentimental over their favorite son from Dumbutto who is
now in exile. For all the gentleman's worth, nobody disputes his "record of service" to
the Gambia: a talented bureaucrat who does what he is told to do, represses his
ambitions with stoic servitude and keeps his nose clean whilst bidding his time climbing
the ladder from a lowly commissioner to the Vice-presidency by default. All hands down
Mr. Darboe is a very pragmatic manager of
"situations" as he repeats that word umpteen times during his interview.
On one version of his "situations" which he calls "objective", he was part of a
"political leadership" whose chief's long tenure in power is "frowned upon" in well
established democratic practice but nevertheless the expressed mandate of the people who
successively elects him. Jawara's repeated presidency was a matter of settled law in
the constitution of the First Republic but reading Mr. Darboe, whether the "effective
leader" is canned or not was an affordable "luxury" opened to debate. On another
version of Mr. Darboe's "situations" power was confiscated by force from the people of
the Gambia in 1994. This was an infraction of the rule of law, an "illegal act"
committed by the "unscrupulous" Chairman of a "junta" as Mr. Darboe calls it. Now
judging from his own rendition of his experience one can discern a stark contrast within
a fragmented Bakary: One Bakary Bunja "a democrat who believes that power is derived
from the people.otherwise it is illegitimate", and
loyally serves an "effective leader"; another Bakary Bunja who made a Faustian pact
with an "unscrupulous" criminal (who resented his guts). The first Bakary is in the
league of morally principled democrats like the Omar Jallows and Halifa Sallahs who
never subjected their beliefs to an "opened debate", and never compromised their faith
in the rule of law under some flimsy patriotic excuses. The latter Bakary Bunja
displays a fragmented soul that lacks political integrity. This character climaxed in a
parody of an unapologetic Bakary Darboe's words:
"For me, the ultimate test, the acid test of the junta's sincerity and good faith was
the "Rectification Program" I micro-managed in order to crown myself the new chief in
town. When they rejected it, in the most cavalier manner, and on the flimsiest of
grounds.I drew the conclusion that I shall never be the President of the Gambia ."
This latter Bakary shows nothing but a naive ego possessed by some delusions of
grandeur. Mr. Darboe's interview ranks with an aura of passive superiority complex. It
is sheer manic relish larded with half-truths and braggadocio.
