>MR. PRESIDENT, CHECK THE NATURE OF THE ARRESTS IN BAKAU
>
>Mr. President, if any Head of State feels that too much information, even 
>if they tend to exaggerate, is detrimental to stability try governing 
>without any information. It is important for you, Mr. President, to realise 
>that you have total grip of the security forces. Your word to them is as 
>important as the law.
>
>Hence what you say is very important. It is therefore important to get feed 
>back on certain actions that are counter productive.
>
>Mr. President, since Tuesday night one Isatou Jawara, a pregnant lady, 
>Lamin Jawara and Omar Jatta, an elderly man with hypertension have been 
>detained. On Friday, which completed the 72 hours detention, the daughter 
>of Omar Jatta went to request for bail along with a neighbour who was ready 
>to volunteer to serve as surety. The police officer at Bundung Police 
>Station told them that he was instructed not to allow anybody from Bakau to 
>meet or see any of the detainees from Bakau not to talk about granting them 
>bail.
>
>Mr. President, Section 19 subsection (2) reads “Any person who is arrested 
>or detained shall be informed as soon as is reasonably practicable and in 
>any case within three hours, in a language that he or she understands, of 
>the reasons for his or her arrest or detention and of his or her right to 
>consult a legal practitioner.”
>
>Subsection (3) (b) adds that “any person who is arrested or detained upon 
>reasonable suspicion of his or her having committed, or being about to 
>commit, a criminal offence under the Laws of The Gambia, and who is not 
>released, shall be brought without undue delay before a court and, in any 
>event, within seventy-two hours.”
>
>This has been enforced by the courts over and over again. Hence there 
>should have been general instruction from the SoS for the Interior that 
>such detention without trial for over 72 hours should cease. The IGP should 
>have been asked to comply with the law and reprimand any officer who fails 
>to comply. This is how the rule of law is enforced. However, if no officer 
>fears to detain a person for over 72 hours or refuse his/her contact with 
>families to get legal counsel, impunity becomes the order of the day. This 
>lends to criticism and public outcry.
>
>It is our understanding that the adults Kassa Jatta, Isatou Jawara, Lamin 
>Jawara and Omar Jatta were arrested in connection with the search for five 
>youths, four of whom are either in grade 8 or 9. They were accused of 
>insulting a complainant. They are Cherno Jarju, Lamin Jassey, Mamburama 
>Jatta, Lamin Jatta and Mariama Fatty. They have since then submitted 
>themselves to the police.
>
>However, the adults are still under detention. We hope that you will send 
>an independent authority to review this case and advise you accordingly.
>
>Furthermore, the Social Welfare Department and Child Protection Alliance 
>should also examine the condition of the youths. There is need to build a 
>standard of best practice in handling the cases of young people in 
>particular and the citizenry in general when it comes to arrests, detention 
>and bail.

>WHERE IS CAPTAIN BUBA JAMMEH?
>
>By Fabakary B. Ceesay
>
>Captain Buba Jammeh of the Gambia Armed Forces was attached to the State 
>Guard Unit. He is said to have gone missing for more than two months now. 
>Captain Jammeh’s picture is displayed at various police Stations in the 
>country as a wanted person by the state. However, sources told this 
>reporter that Captain Jammeh has been arrested and is in security custody. 
>Sources added that Captain Jammeh has spent more than 66 days in detention 
>without being charged. Sources also added that Captain Jammeh was arrested 
>shortly after the Daily Observer published names of people who were accused 
>of being informants of the online Freedom Newspaper.
>
>When this reporter contacted the GAF Public Relations Officer (PRO), 
>Captain Lamin Gano, he said he has no knowledge of the whereabouts of 
>Captain Jammeh, and that he does not even know Captain Jammeh personally. 
>When it was put to him that Captain Jammeh’s picture has been seen at 
>various police stations, the Army PRO said: “That is the business of the 
>police. We have nothing to do with that.”

>CHANGE OF IEC MEMBERS
>
>By Yaya Damha
>
>Barely few weeks after the removal of Mr. Ndondi Njie as the Chairman of 
>the Independent Electoral Commission, two other commission members, namely 
>Ebrima Sanneh and Sulayman Sait Mboob have also been removed.
>
>The removal of the two commissioners has been confirmed by the Chief 
>Electoral Officer, Kawsu Ceesay. Mr. Ceesay informed this paper that the 
>duo were removed on Wednesday and was quick to point out that he did not 
>know why Sanneh and Mboob were removed.
>
>He further pointed out that the following persons are appointed as 
>commission members, namely Malleh Sallah, Alieu Momar Njie and Sarja Fatty. 
>The three appointees took the oath of office on Friday.
>

>
>NADD TOURS THE COUNTRY
>
>The National Alliance for Democracy and Development (NADD) sent 
>sensitisation teams throughout the country to sensitise the electorate on 
>the 2006 Presidential Election.
>
>Team A which was led by Mr. Lamin Waa Juwara commenced their tour from 
>Kiang West to Upper Fuladu West and from Sami constituency all the way to 
>Lower Badibu.
>
>The electorate received the NADD militants with enthusiasm and joy. The 
>team emphasised throughout the tour why elections are taking place during 
>the rainy season, and explained that they finally accepted the fact that 
>campaign must be done since it is a constitutional requirement to hold 
>elections.
>
>The NADD team explained to the electorate the amount of taxes collected by 
>the Area Councils, how it is collected, how it should be utilised to 
>benefit those who pay the tax; in short, the role of the Area Councils.
>
>The team also explained how people pay monies to the Central Government, 
>the passport fees, the ID card fees, the income tax, as well as the 
>indirect tax. Estimates of the annual Budgets for 12 years (since the 
>Jammeh regime took over) were given. The country’s loan component was also 
>fully explained. It was made clear that the Jawara regime left an amount of 
>D3000 million dalasis debt within a period of 30 years; but that the Jammeh 
>regime feels that the country can only be developed through taking endless 
>loans. This is why, they said, the Jammeh Government took an amount of D19, 
>000 million dalasis within the short period of 12 years only. So they 
>explained that the total debt of the country which is only due for payment 
>is D22, 000 million
>dalasis. This, they said, if divided between Gambians can amount to D20, 
>000 per person, including newly-born babies.
>
>The NADD team explained to the people that the loans are not invested in 
>the productive sectors of the economy; that they are simply utilised to 
>build infrastructure which does not generate income to help repay the debt 
>or help to generate jobs and income for the people. This is why they said 
>the tax base must be expanded to pay debts. The team explained that duty 
>levied on the imported commodities are increased which automatically 
>translates to higher commodity prices and social services costs.
>
>The NADD militants explained to the farmers why their groundnuts are not 
>bought. They told the farmers that it was GGC/Alimenta which used to 
>purchase all the nuts of farmers but, as they said, the Jammeh regime did 
>not care about the agreement between the Jammeh Government and the GGC; 
>instead, they went ahead and seized the company. They said the GGC took the 
>government to an International Tribunal of Arbitration which resulted to 
>The Gambia Government paying an amount of $11.8 million dollars from the 
>tax money of the Gambian people.
>
>According to the militants, this is why big international companies got 
>scared to come and purchase groundnuts in The Gambia. They also said the 
>IMF conditionalties also bar the government from engaging in business, that 
>they are paying huge amounts every year on loans they have taken, and this 
>is why The Gambia is paying D1, 500 million dalasis as debt service this 
>year alone. They stated that this is the same reason why government cannot 
>put medicines in hospitals and health centres and also help the farmers to 
>improve their farming and increase their income.
>
>They asked the farmers whether they have been issued with fertilizers and 
>they answered emphatically: “No”.
>
>The leader of NADD’s Team A, Mr. Lamin Waa Juwara, dwelled on the NADD 
>constitution, Memorandum of Understanding and objectives. He also explained 
>the reasons behind the establishment of NADD. The team explained that NADD 
>emerged because of the change in the law on the second round of voting. 
>They said removing the second round in the Presidential Election and only 
>allowing a simple majority system was what led to the establishment of an 
>umbrella party- NADD. He said Jammeh changed the law because he had 
>discovered a decline in his popularity. He said Jammeh received 56% in 1996 
>and 52% in 2001and that this is why he feared that in 2006, he would not be 
>able to get 50% in which case there would be a second round; that he
>knew that he could lose at the second round, as did Abdou Joof of Senegal 
>and many others. He explained that that was why PDOIS, NDAM, NRP, PPP and 
>UDP came together to form NADD. He explained that if they (the various 
>parties) pooled their resources and ideas and combined their efforts in 
>support of a single candidate in the Presidential Election in 2006, they 
>could win. He said everything is put in place and all the parties including 
>the UDP and NRP signed the MoU. But, as he said, they got a little 
>disappointment from the whole arrangement when Lawyer Ousainou Darboe wrote 
>a letter resigning from NADD. Mr. Juwara argued that no one stops Ousainou 
>from becoming a candidate, that he had left NADD before the selection of a 
>flag bearer.
>
>The farmers in turn complained of the hardships. They said their groundnut 
>could not be bought; they said they are experiencing hunger and lack of 
>clean water in some places; they said they have never been in such 
>difficult situations since the Colonial period; and they said they have 
>been forgotten by the Jammeh regime totally. They also said their children 
>cannot get jobs, a situation which is driving them to throw themselves into 
>the Moroccan sea only to perish there because of the compelling force to 
>escape poverty.
>
>The farmers said they are totally disappointed by the Jammeh regime in 
>every sphere of their lives. They pledged their unreserved support to NADD 
>and not UDP because as they said the one who withdraws from the marriage is 
>the one to blame for the break of the marriage. The people were told not to 
>fear anybody and vote for the candidate of their choice; that the era of 
>deception and threat in Gambian politics is over. The tour from the 
>journalist’s observation has been a resounding success. Halifa has been 
>introduced by team A in over 200 “Bantabas” to the people who endorsed his 
>candidature as the NADD flag bearer.

>COLLEGE STUDENTS DEMAND ALLOWANCES
>
>By Modou Jonga
>
>Over three hundred Gambia College final year H.T.C. students are demanding 
>from the college authorities the payment of their project allowances 
>without delay. The project allowance, an amount of D250.00, is a necessity 
>that must be paid to final year H.T.C students to help them supplement 
>their financial capacity in order to submit their project works as required 
>before the award of certificates to students.
>
>Final year students who spoke to this reporter said they have contacted the 
>College’s principal on the issue, but were informed by the principal that 
>there is no fund available to pay off the project allowances. The Head of 
>the School of Education was also contacted but, according to the students, 
>they were told to fill in a requisition form for their project allowances. 
>The students did, but are yet to see any payment effected.
>
>This reporter contacted Madam Isatou Ndow, Head of School of Education, who 
>directed him to the principal who she said is the right person to talk on 
>the issue. When contacted the principal, said there is no such thing like 
>project allowance.

>MANLAFI JARJUE DISCHARGED
>
>By Modou Jonga
>
>The criminal trial involving the former Secretary of State for Local 
>Government and Lands, Manlafi Jarjue, has been withdrawn by the state on 
>3rd August.
>
>On Thursday, the prosecutor, ASP Tijan Badjie, applied for the case to be 
>withdrawn from the court by citing section 68 of the Criminal Procedure 
>Code. ASP Badjie informed the court that he had received instruction from 
>the Police High Command to withdraw the case, but the counsel for the 
>accused, Lamin Mboge, objected to the application sought by the prosecutor 
>and also applied for his client to be compensated.
>
>In his ruling, the presiding magistrate, Edrisa Mbai, overruled the 
>application for compensation sought by the counsel for the accused person. 
>Magistrate Mbai said he cannot grant compensation to the accused person 
>because he has not entered his defence before the application for 
>withdrawal was sought by the state. Magistrate Mbai later granted the 
>state’s application and discharged Manlafi Jarjue.
>
>Readers could recall that Manlafi Jarjue was charged with criminal trespass 
>for allegedly selling land that belongs to the President of the Republic, 
>Yahya Jammeh. The land is said to be situated in Sanyang. The charge sheet 
>was later amended and he was later charged with obtaining money by false 
>pretence.

>DEVASTATING FIRE INCIDENT IN BRIKAMA
>
>By modou Jonga
>
>A fire incident allegedly caused by candle light on Monday 31st July 2006, 
>has burnt a complete house in the compound of one Janko Ceesay in Brikama 
>Nema ward.
>
>According to the compound owner, a physical cash amount of D25000.00 
>(Twenty-Five Thousand Dalasis) including valuable household items and a bag 
>of rice were burnt by the fire.
>
>However, this reporter was told by eyewitnesses to this devastating fire 
>incident that the Brikama Fire and Ambulance Services arrived late at the 
>scene when the fire was partially put off with help of the youths in the 
>area.
>
>When this reporter visited the Brikama Fire Service he was told by DC Gaye 
>that the allegation levied on them are false and further stated that they 
>were often call late by the public in the case of a fire incident which he 
>believed is as a result of the lack of awareness on the side of the public 
>about the Fire Service emergency number.

>INTERVIEW WITH HALIFA SALLAH
>
>ON THE IEC, THE NOMINATION OF PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES AND THE STATE OF THE 
>OPPOSITION
>
>Foroyaa: More terminations at the IEC. What is your reaction?
>
>Halifa: First and foremost, it should be clear what the constitution says 
>about the appointment, removal and tenure of office of members of the 
>commission. Three institutions are responsible for the appointment of 
>members of the commission. Three institutions are responsible for the 
>appointment of the commission, Section 42 subsection (3) states that “The 
>members of the commission shall be appointed by the President in 
>consultation with the Judicial Service Commission and the Public Service 
>Commission. The question now arises: Have the Judicial Service and Public 
>Service Commissions been consulted in all the appointments. The Chairperson 
>of the Judicial Service Commission is the
>Chief Justice. The Solicitor General is also a member. I would like to ask: 
>If such people are consulted how was it possible to disregard section 42 
>subsection (5) (c) of the constitution in the appointment of Ex-Commission 
>member, Mr. Mboob which states categorically that “A person shall not be 
>qualified for appointment as a member of the commission if he or she  is, 
>or has at any time during such period of two years been, the holder of any 
>office in any organisation that sponsors or otherwise supports, or has at 
>any time sponsored or otherwise supported, a candidate for election as a 
>member of the National Assembly or of any local government authority or if 
>he or she has actively identified himself or herself with any such 
>organisation.” Mr. Mboob was a cabinet minister who openly identified 
>himself with the APRC. I cannot understand how the
>Judicial Service Commission and the Public Service Commission could have 
>concurred with his appointment as a member of the Independent Electoral 
>Commission.
>
>Foroyaa: Do you accept his termination?
>
>Halifa: The constitution says that “The President may remove a member of 
>the commission from office for misconduct but before removing a member the 
>President shall appoint a tribunal of three judges of a superior court to 
>enquire into the matter and report on the facts.” A member of the 
>commission shall be entitled to appear and be legally represented before 
>the tribunal? I am not sure why Mr. Mboob and Mr. Sanneh are removed. The 
>fact that no tribunal has been convened confirms that the members of the 
>commission have no security of tenure.
>
>Two wrongs therefore cannot bring about what is right. My real observation 
>is that there is arbitrariness in appointing the members of the Commission. 
>Their removal from office is also characterized by the same arbitrariness. 
>The insecurity that characterized the offices of the commissioners should 
>be addressed once and for all since this is an election year. The people 
>should vote for political parties that are genuinely interested in building 
>up an independent and impartial electoral commission.
>
>Foroyaa: The President has said that they the majority will not allow the 
>minority to dictate how politics is conducted in this country. He called on 
>the IEC not to allow the opposition or the International Community to 
>dictate to them. What is your view?
>
>Halifa: This is exactly what the law says: Section 43 subsection (3) of the 
>constitution states that “In the exercise of its functions under the 
>constitution or any other law, the Commission shall not be subject to the 
>direction or control of any other person or authority.”
>
>What the President should assure is that the commission has all the 
>resources required to be free from any control. The duty of all political 
>forces is to expose the commission whenever it fails to do what the 
>constitution and the law says it should do. It is our view that the 
>commission should only abide by the dictate of the constitution, law, 
>natural justice and fairness.
>
>Needless to say, the fact that the president mentions majority and minority 
>confirms that power belongs to the people. The people of the Gambia should 
>give more value to themselves and their votes. Those who receive them 
>become very powerful. Those who lack them are marginalized. The type of 
>leaders who receive the votes of the people are a reflection of the type of 
>people who live in a country. Democracy requires us to entrust power to the 
>type of public trustees we want to manage our affairs for us.
>
>Foroyaa: Do you see the threat as intimidation tactics?
>
>Halifa: The people have a right to complain about intimidation. Leaders who 
>expect to be commanders in chief of armies when they become elected will be 
>seen as laughing stock if they allow themselves to be intimidated. Those 
>who cannot take the heat should get out of the kitchen. I agree with one 
>point, that is, we should all respect the MOU.
>
>Foroyaa: How about the opposition. Are there any prospects of unity?
>
>Halifa: The UDP/NRP alliance is calling for an enlargement of their 
>alliance to include NADD. I cannot see how NADD can stand on a political 
>platform and justify the resignation of the UDP and NRP leader from NADD 
>and promote the candidature of one of them on their party ticket and 
>completely abandon the five year transition characterized by the 
>empowerment of the people and limitation of the powers of president. As 
>flag bearer I have left the option for NADD to consider another flag 
>bearer.
>
>However this does not deter us from working. A candidate will emerge under 
>a NADD ticket. We will make definite decisions in these coming days. We 
>will organise one of the biggest rallies ever seen in this country to make 
>our final announcement.
>
>Foroyaa: We are poised for a three way race.
>
>Halifa: The Gambian people want unity. We will pursue it to the end. We 
>have toured the whole country. We have left Western Division, KMC and 
>Banjul to allow room for negotiation. However we will soon have to take the 
>bull by the horn to explain what really happened to give rise to the 
>current situation.

>On Tuesday, 1st August 2006, the people of Bakau Wasulung Kunda saw the 
>arrival of heavily armed Police Intervention Unit (PIU) personnel between 
>the hours of 9.00 pm and 1.00 am
>
>According to sources more than twenty five PIU officers commandeered by the 
>Station Officer of Bakau Police Station, were armed with rifles and batons. 
>The group of officers and their commander surrounded Jatta Kunda and 
>demanded the arrest of some children who, they alledged, used provocative 
>words. According to an eye witness, the S.O was told that the teenagers 
>they were looking for where not there. It is reported that the S.O. later 
>ordered the arrest of Lamin Jawara and his sister Isatou Jawara. The eye 
>witness also added Kassa went to the Police station the following morning 
>with three teenagers, and they were subsequently detained and later 
>transferred to various Police Stations. The arrestees are in the persons of 
>Lamin Jatta who is
>detained at Bakau Police Station, Omar Jatta and Lamin Jawara at Bundung 
>Police Station, Isatou Jawara at Kairaba Police Station, and Mariama Fatty 
>and Cherno Jarju who were taken to Bakau Police Station the following

>Forcing Residents To Relocate In Brikama Kabafita
>
>By Lamin Dampha
>
>A heavy downpour has terrified the residents of Brikama Kabafita especially 
>those on the Banjul-Basse highway. The compound of Ma Ansu Demba in Brikama 
>Kabafita was over inundated by the heavy flow of water which brought down 
>his compound, leading to the whole compound being inundated.
>
>Most of the houses in the compound were razed to the ground. Personal 
>belongings, household items and many other valuable items were submerged in 
>the water. It was a complete disaster for Mr. Ansu Demba.
>
>The families of more than 15 were evacuated and were given temporal shelter 
>by the neighbours. Residents in the area flocked in their numbers to assist 
>the family in the rescue operations. It took the rescuers hours before they 
>could take the family especially the children to safety.
>
>Although there were no casualties in the disaster, the material lost was 
>huge as it is estimated to reach D100, 000. Speaking to me, the compound 
>owner Ma Ansu Demba who was rather in a serene mood, said that it is the 
>work of God. He said that he was deeply moved by the response of the 
>neighbours. He, however, dispelled rumours that cash amounting to D11, 000 
>was stolen in the incident. “Infact where can I have such an amount?” he 
>asked. He is appealing to the government, NGOs, departments, parastatal, 
>philanthropists and other well wishers to assist him in the reconstruction 
>of his compound.
>
>The Chief of Kombo Central, Bakary Santang Bojang, was at the scene of the 
>disaster among other hundreds of people. He expressed deep concern over the 
>issue and promised to forward the issue to the relevant authorities.
>
>Meanwhile, the Brikama Area Council is once again under the spotlight. It 
>could be recalled that similar disasters struck Brikama Missira last year. 
>Residents in Brikama, especially those residing on the Banjul-Basse 
>highway, repeatedly complained to the Brikama Area Council for a drainage 
>system. They accused the Brikama Area Council for lack of concern for the 
>welfare of the tax payers. It appears that this public outcry has not been 
>heeded to. If the situation remains unchecked more and more disasters 
>should be expected and, God forbid, with possible human casualties.

>Hon. Halifa Sallah, the National Assembly Member for Serrekunda Central has

>“Children are the future of a nation.”
>
>Mr. Sallah was speaking at the Voice of the Young’s 2nd Bantaba held at the

>Concern.” He said the human being is a social being and that society has 
>provided a rich culture that promotes child issues. He stressed that child 
>trafficking is the worst form of neglecting a child in a society. He went 
>on to say that a child needs enough protection as “we cannot live in this 
>world without the presence of children”.
>
>He said to fight child trafficking, people have to fight poverty that has 
>put pressure on human beings, and stressed that every child has the right
