Piere,
I think sister Jabou has mentioned what we need to imbue a lot of things we
do with, and that is "decency". The "Rule of Law" envisages that even proven
criminals have rights.
Furthermore, I agree that our mothers, fathers, uncles, aunts, brothers and
sisters should be kept out of issues which are matters of personal opinion
or even belief. But I do not want to conclude that Mr Sallah's mention of mr
Jallow's late mother was done with intent to slight. Infact I am convinced
that this point can be amicably resolved without any mud-slinging.
Omar Joof.
