CANDIDATES NEED POLICE PROTECTION
The arrest of the Independent Candidate for Niamina East, Mr. Lamin Marenah,
by officer Gibba of the Jareng Police and his detention over night which
halted his campaign constitute the grossest negation of the spirit of a free and
fair election.
An election can only be free and fair if a candidate is not subjected to any
disadvantage that his opponent is not subjected to. There is no doubt that
the last week of campaign is the most significant. Hence if a candidate is
arrested overnight and asked to report on bail his campaign would be adversely
affected.
All the observers should go on the ground right now rather than wait until
the day of elections. Observers should be attached to vulnerable candidates
who had been subjected to harassment and arrest. The IEC should provide such
persons with adequate protection so that they will be free from harassment.
The Inspector General of Police should be issued with instructions by the
IEC with immediacy.
The Election’s Decree is clear. The IEC is the supreme authority responsible
for guaranteeing the liability of free and fair election section 129 reads: “
The Inspector General of Police shall, on the request of the Commission,
assign to the Commission such number of police officers as the Commission may
require during the periods of registration of voters and the conduct of
election.”
In this regard, it should be mandatory for the Inspector General of Police
to be informed by all officers of the arrest of any candidate. Such
information should be forwarded to the IEC with immediacy so that it will satisfy
itself whether such arrest is based on something tangible or something frivolous.
The Independent candidates need more protection since they have been
subjected to threats over the air that puts them in a disadvantageous situation. We
hope the IEC will make maximum effort to ensure that candidates are treated
with the respect deserved.

candidature.
AT COURT-MARTIAL
By Bubacarr K. Sowe
Continuing his cross-examination on Friday at the Court-Martial, police
detective, Sergeant Lamin Cham told the court that Captain John Pierre Mendy did
say in a statement that he reserved his opinion till the presence of an
attorney.
Cham told the court that he did not give Captain Mendy the right to see a
lawyer, because Mendy did not ask him for that but only put it in the
statement. The voluntary statement, Cham said, was recorded on April 19, at the
station at Central Prison at Mile Two. Cham earlier on said that he took a
cautionary statement, but he could not remember when and where the statement was
taken. He said he recorded a voluntary statement from him at the National
Intelligence Agency which was witnessed by an independent witness, and his detective
colleagues, Abdoulie Sowe and Boto Keita.
Cham also said that he cannot remember where, but knows that Lieutenant
Momodou Alieu Bah did make a cautionary statement. He said he was present, but
does not know how many statements they were. He also said that he was present
when the cautionary statement of Captain Abdourahman Jah was taken, but could
not tell the court how many of them he took. In response to Counsel Lamin
Camara’s question, Sergeant Cham said that he witnessed the taking of a
cautionary statement from Captain Bunja Darboe, before he appeared at the joint
investigation panel around midnight on March 21. He said he could not remember the
exact time the cautionary statement was taken and did not also know how long
Captain Darboe was at the NIA. He also said the cautionary statement was
obtained later in the day on March 22, and was witnessed by Tijan Bojang.
Cross Examination By L. Jobarteh
Sergeant Cham said no statement was obtained from Momodou Sanyang of the
GRTS, where a video cassette was recovered. He said the tape was handed formally
to the Director General of the NIA. He also admitted that the said tape
happened to be recorded at the NIA headquarters. In response to a question, he
replied that he can read, but cannot speak Arabic, though he can only translate
some Arabic. He also said he can read the Qur’an. He was given a copy of the
Qur’an and asked to read a page number but he said: “I cannot read the page
number,” He was again shown a part of the Qur’an and asked to read three
lines of a particular Chapter, which he did but could not translate it for the
court. One of the exhibits they (the detectives) found in Omar Faal Keita’s
house was given to him. He said he could translate it except for the
introduction. He previously told the court that Babou Loum, an independent witness,
appeared on various dates. He said he knows Tijan Bojang, an independent
witness, who lives in Sukuta. According to him he knew Tijan Bojang before the
Foiled Coup and insisted that he will call him an independent witness. Tijan
Bojang, Cham said was present when 2nd Lieutenant Pharing Sanyang was making his
statement. Cham told the court he was present when Boto Keita cautioned
Corporal Samba Bah but could not determine the difference between the ink writings
of the accused and the witness.
The police detective denied that Corporal Bah; was threatened by one Mr.
Hydara and noted that Bah cooperated with them. Cham also said he was not there
when Hydara was threatening Corporal Bah that what happened to his Colleagues
will happened to him, if he rejected stating what he is told to write. He
told the court that Corporal Bah was cautioned upon which he made his statement
which was recorded by detective Boto Keita and witnessed by an independent
witness. It was put to him by Counsel Lamin Mboge, that apart from his name,
rank and address, all that he told the court is a cooked-up story. Sergeant
Cham replied: “I have sworn as a Muslim and it is not a cooked-up story.”
SEVEN UNATTENDED CHILDREN TAKEN BY POLICE
By Sarjo M.C Singhateh
On Friday morning, about seven unattended children were found at the
entrance of the Police Headquarters in Banjul.
According to the parents of the children, they left their children to go and
buy food for them, but when they returned, they found that the Police had
taken the children to the Police Headquarters. Both mothers who are residents of
Nema-Nasiru, Kombo North, confessed that they have resorted to begging in
the streets because of poverty. According to an eyewitness, these children
were found unattended by their mothers in the vicinity of the Department of
Education in Banjul, where a vehicle nearly hit one of the children.
The concerned driver of the vehicle reported the matter to the Police
Station. This led to the Police officers to collect the children and took them to
the Police headquarters.
One of the mothers who have five children, including two of the boys who
were picked up, stated that her children had lost their fathers five years ago.
She said since then, survival has been a serious problem, noting that her two
children are currently not going to school because of lack of payment of
fees.
She explained that three of her five children who are older, stay at home
while she goes with the two young boys to Banjul to beg in the streets. The
ages of these boys can be estimated as 5 and 7 years respectively.
Another mother who may be in her thirties said her husband is an old man who
could not fend for the family. She said it is because of this that she had
decided to go and beg with her twins.
“Look at me I’m pregnant. How can I sit down with my kids without food?”
she lamented. Three of her children were picked up by the Police, including the
twins.
The mother of the remaining two children also narrated a similar experience.
The mothers were escorted to the Social Welfare Department in Banjul. When
the officer in charge at the department was contacted, she said that they
would advise the mothers appropriately in order to ensure that the protection and
interest of the children are maintained.
The Police PRO was not available at the time and efforts to reach him by
phone proved futile.

UTG SEMINAR ON GENETICAL SUSCEPTIBILITY TO CANCER
By Isatou Bittaye
The University of The Gambia (UTG), on Wednesday 17th January 2007 held its
second inaugural seminar on the theme “Genetical Susceptibility to Cancer.”
The presenter at the seminar was Dr. Peter Aka, Senior Scientist MRC The
Gambia and was held at the Girls Guide Skill Centre, Kanifing.
In his opening remarks, the Vice Chancellor of the UTG, Professor Andreas
Steigen said that cancer is a disease affecting genes and may emanate from
external factors like smoking, alcohol and pollution.
In his presentation, Dr. Peter Aka said that cancer is a complex disease
like diabetes, heart disease and kidney disease. Dr. Aka added that all complex
diseases arise from a combination of changes that occur in the same cell over
a period of time. He said that in cancer, these changes accumulate over when
a critical number of changes occur in the same cell. Dr. Aka indicated that
cancer is caused by the changes in the gene and exposure to smoking, alcohol,
pollution or carcinogen.
He noted that there are many different types of cancer, each displaying
different combinations of changes. He, however noted that even within a single
type, such as lung cancer or colon cancer, clinicans can identify subtypes,
each marked by unique set of changes. Dr. Aka indicated that a person who does
not drink alcohol and smokes cigarettes may live up to about 90 years without
getting liver or lung cancer, another person who smokes and drinks the same
amount may get cancer at age 60. He added that a woman’s breast cancer
responds to chemotherapy and her tumor shrinks while another woman’s breast cancer
shows no change after the same treatment. In explaining how can these
differences be explained, Dr. Aka indicated that scientist think that variations in
the human genome called single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs can help them
to answer these questions and to catalogue the unique sets of changes involved
in different cancers.
Dr. Aka noted that scientists see SNPs as a potential tool to improve cancer
diagnosis and treatment planning. He added that they also suspect that SNPs
may play a role in the different responses to treatments seen among cancer
patients. SNPs may also be involved in the different levels of individual
cancer risk observed. Dr. Aka said that genome contains genes and the similarity
of genes in different persons is 99%. He indicated that variation is a change
in one base sequence and SNPs are the most common type of variation which
transforms the sequence of genes into amino acids. Dr. Aka further said that
smoking is susceptible to lung cancer prior to the inhalation of carcinogen,
noting that a person with snip has a higher chance of getting cancer than a
person without snip. Dr. Aka indicated that the preventive modes from genetical
susceptibility to cancer are:
Ø Avoidance of the consumption of alcohol and tobacco
Ø Avoidance of carcinogen at work and exposure to pollution.
Ø Protect yourself from excessive sunlight
Ø Limit fats and calories in your diet.
Ø Consume more fruits and vegetables.
The seminar was closed with a question and answer session. The moderator of
the seminar was Professor N.F Awasom.
HALIFA CLARIFIES ON REPORT OF D500 MILLION EXPENDITURE
Reacting to the report captioned “Halifa Exposes D500M Unauthorized
Expenditure,” Halifa Sallah indicated that what he did was to scrutinize the
estimates of revenue and expenditure for 2007 and expose miscellaneous expenditure
amounting to 50 million and 20 million for 2006 and 2007, respectively, for
settlement of confirmed outstanding debts; that he pointed out to the Secretary
of State that such an expenditure continues to reoccur year after year. He
observed that these outstanding debts confirms that the debts were not part of
a normal budgeting process. That he questioned the legitimacy of paying for a
debt that is incurred outside the normal budgeting process. He said that it
is the SoS for Finance who indicated that the item will continue to reoccur
since such debts amount to 500 million dalasis. This to Halifa reveals gross
financial indiscipline and lack of transparency and accountability of the
budgetary process. He indicated that reports should state the facts as they are.
Letter to the Editor
ACUTE LEVEL OF POVERTY AND DRASTIC UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN THE GAMBIA
Generally speaking poverty is a kind of inheritance because Africans have
long been in poverty. But that of unemployment is due to negligence and lack of
sympathy for the youngsters who have to be future leaders and inheritants of
future Gambian Society. Instead of workers or the employed to think of
salary increment, we have to think about others also who have finished twelve
years of education. We have to be fair with ourselves and stop being so selfish,
in order to eliminate hunger and alleviate poverty. As unemployment rates
increase there is a tendency to engender high levels of prostitution for the
girls and for the boy youths, there could be circumstances to become criminals
or drug peddlers. The wealth or money to be used for salary increment for
those at the top can be used to create employment for many youths.
Repatriated Migrants’ Case Adjourned
By Modou Jonga

DEAD BODY FOUND IN BUSH
By Baboucarr Ceesay
On Tuesday 16th January, 2006, the death body of Isatou Taal, a young girl
believed to be between the ages of 17 and 18 was found in the remote bush of
Kiang Jifarong, in the Kiang West District, Lower River Region.
Isatou who was said to be mentally imbalanced left home to fetch groundnuts
from the farms and got missing for nearly a month. Her whereabouts remained
unknown for a long time until lately when she was found lying dead and decayed
in a distant bush by a native farmer of Jifarong village who identified her
and reported the matter to the villagers.
According to some villagers of Jifarong, Isatou’s long disappearance left
the natives of Jifarong in an alarming situation. A female relative of Isatou
said that elders of the village and youths have done their best by carrying
out a thorough search for this poor young girl but she was no where to be found
on the farms until she died.
A concerned old woman told this reporter that disabled persons should be
cared for and people should give more solidarity to them; that leaving a young
mentally disabled child like Isatou going to the farm alone is an issue to
talk about.
Elders went for the body of Isatou and it was finally laid to rest on
Tuesday afternoon.

simple techniques in biomedical research and to prepare them academically
for study on the diploma course. Mr. Bah further said that the aims of the
Diploma are:
· ‘To provide a highly quality educational and academic experience to
our laboratory technicians.
· To provide a recognizable professional qualification and
· To prepare participants for potential further study opportunities
The course consists of six modules, each with a rating of 15 credits
including introductory Biomedical Sciences, Micro Biology, Immunology, Parasitology
Haemotology, Laboratory Management and Safety’. Mr. Bah noted that for a
student to be awarded with the Diploma all the six modules must be passed to

Mr. Tumani Corrah, MRC Unit Director, said that MRC The Gambia is the UK’s
largest investment in Medical Research in the tropics. He added that MRC is
focused on the development and testing of interventions aimed at preventing or
reducing some of the major infections that cause ill health and death in The
Gambia, Africa and the developing World. Mr. Corrah indicated that MRC
research programmes include Malaria, acute respiratory infections, Tuberculosis,
HIV/AIDS, Measles and Hepatitis which are the disease responsible for millions
of death in our sub-region. The MRC Director added that The Gambia was one of
the first countries in Africa to introduce Hepatitis B and Heamophillus
influenzae Type B vaccination into the EPI, contributing towards making The Gambia
’s EPI one of Africa’s best.
Deputising for the SoS for Education, the Permanent Secretary, Mr. Baboucarr
Boye, said that graduation is a point at which one moves from status a
without qualification to a status with qualification. He said that DOSE
Sponsorship and advertisements are always filled by applications from biomedical
sciences students because of their determination in science. Mr. Boye added that
MRC should on how to work with UTG for the biomedical science course to be
transformed into a degree program. Mr. Boye concluded by urging the graduands to
work as a group to serve their country and the challenge before them is what

UTGSU PRESIDENT ELECT SPEAKS OUT
By Yaya Bajo
The president elect of the University of The Gambia Student’s union, UTGSU,
Kemo A.M Cham, has told Foroyaa in an exclusive interview that he has
dedicated his academic life to the course of Unionism for the past two years at the
university. He added that this has given him the opportunity to explore the
nature of student politics within the University Campus which has given rise
to his subsequent victory over his opponent.
Mr. Cham who is pursuing a degree programme in Biology and Agriculture,
noted that University Students in The Gambia face numerous problems and this has
prompted him to surface in order to contribute his quota towards addressing
some of these pressing issues. The union president elect asserted that his
priorities will be, amongst other things, to promote a closer cooperation
between government and the university administration, encouragement of student
participation in unionism, fund raising programmes and adequate and timely
service delivery.
Quizzed as to how he could address scholarship problems facing university
students, Cham replied that he acknowledge the fact that the majority of
students in the university are from poor family backgrounds who deserved to be
helped.
“This issue of tuition fee has played a great part in stifling the
performance of certain students in the university because of the psychological torture
they undergo,” he lamented. Mr. Cham stated that as union leaders, they are
doing everything possible to address scholarship problems, adding that that
is why they have a scholarship Trust Fund put in place. “Fundraising has not
been easy though, but I think with the help of you, the media, we shall pay
for our first beneficiaries in the soonest possible time,” he remarked. He
concluded by calling on other philanthropic organisations to extend their helping
hands to the students at the country’s highest institution of learning.
