Ditto Sanusi!
Remember reports from the Gambian news papers last year where a NAM Muso Suso
of Kombo North was convicted for possesition and drug trafficking?

"The Kombo North National Assembly seat became vacant after its representative
was convicted at the Bundung Magistrate Court on Wednesday May 2nd for drug
possession and trafficking. Musa Suso and co-convict Ndeneh Faal are to serve
eight years and seven years in jail respectively. Musa Suso was also fined
D450, 000 in default and an additional twelve years to the eight years while
Ndeneh Faal received a fine of D370, 000 in default an addition seven years to
the seven year prison term. Musa Suso has been sitting as National Assembly
member for Kombo North since the 1997 legislative elections after a landslide
victory."
