Samba

HON FJC has a golden opportunity to make a BIG
difference in the National Assembly. In the past she
was at the Office of the President as  the Director
for Press and Public Relations. During this period,
she was bound to toe the line or else she is kicked
out of office. The situation has now changed for her;
As an Nominated Member of the National Assembly, she
is LICENSED to speak up her mind for 5 good years, and
she won't be sacked for any reason. Rather than using
this golden opportunity, FJC takes every thing on
partisan basis and therefore fails look at the big
picture; which is the Gambia's interest irrespective
party affiliation.

In the past, we had some Nominated MPs who made use of
this golden opportunity to speak up against injustice;
Remember Dr SJ Palmer during the First Republic, Araba
Bah, Cecilia MR Cole, Hamed Kebbeh and many others.
What is therefore stopping her beloved sister from
making laerning from these people??


FJC remember that history will one day judge your
performance as a member of the National Assembly


Have a nice weekend
