According to the GRTS RADIO NEWS: FRIDAY  7TH APRIL  2000,
"The Justice Secretary Pap Ousman Cheyassin Secka has said that the Gambian
constitution will soon be revisited with a view to amending sections that are
deemed necessary.  Mr Secka made this revelation while on a visit to the NBD as
part of a familiarisation tour of judicial and penal institutions around the
country, and to get  first hand information on  the state of affairs of the
judicial system.   During the tour various district authorities expressed the
wish to be appointed directly by the head of state instead of going through
election processes."


Are these district authorities afraid that they will loose their positions
because people will not vote for them?

This reminds me of the  "no election" campaigners of 1996.
