Gassama,
Once again, thanks a lot for your clarifications. I hope we as Gambians
understand that changes are not always bad. For one reason or another, our
intellectuals are so much afraid of change, or should I say fear of
challenges at times. What is wrong in changing ministers some of whom have
served for atleast 4-5 years? Most well educated people are so proud to
leave after serving at such capacities to be able to go on and add that to
their resumes. I have witnessed family members and friends mourning after a
relative/friedn has been removed from ministerial positions, but I
ceratinly cannot understand that. Can't such people do other trhings like
teaching or even work for NGO's and international compabies? Come on now,
no condition is permanent we are alwys thought.
I do not subcribe to removing ministers for reasons which could be criminal
without explaining to the nation. None the less, I think the president have
the right to hire/fire any misiters he thinks fits him. He does not have to
explain if it is his personal reason. They could just be asked ro resign.
On the civil servants, i think a different measuring stick need to be used.
No civil servant should be fired for jsut persoanl reasons being political
or not. I think such affected folks should be able to challenege such
actions unless if they thought or knew that they did something really bad.
And for some reason, I am very skeptical when such people do not even come
forward in public to talk. Then I think there mihgt be soemthing wrong, and
I may be wrong.
The Gambia-L is well known for making so much noise when any changes in
ministerial levels are made. Again, knowing the compostion of the
subcribers I am not surprised. I think if any of us here were the leader of
that nation, we would also fire anyone whom we do not think is ready to
work and promote our program of national development with us. And this goes
to any nation or leader on the face of the earth.
Ousman Jallow Bojang.

Sanusi,
I'm sure this was mean't for the list. Somehow it came as a private mail.
Yes, you're right, Julia has been replaced by her predecessor, Mr. Alieu
Ngum, Gambian rep. to the EU. The Agric. portfolio is, for the time being
under Jammeh. Where Julia would be deployed has not been disclosed as yet.
I did not mention this in my earlier post because I thought you people were
more interested in those who lost their jobs in the sweeping that is going
on at the two ministries.
Incidentally, I only met Yusupha Kah some three weeks ago and comes across
as a very quite and composed man, softly spoken. Anyway, I wish them all
the best of luck.
Have a good day, Gassa.
