Aunty Jabou This business of appointing the likes of Sedia Jatta Hamat Bah and Sherrif Dibba should be clearly looked at. Appointing Sidia Jatta and Hamat Bah as Cabinet Ministers will have constitutional implications. Please remember that both of them appear to be Members of the National Assembly. Since our constitution makes no provision for Secretaries of State to be appointed as NAMs, how will the likes of Hamat Bah and Sedia Jatta exceute their parliamentary activities. With regards to Sherrif Dibba, this man is 64 years old, should be 65 in the next 3 months. Unless the constitution is amended, he is not suitable for public office. Don't forget that even Judges of the Supreme Court have to retire at the age of 65. Finally, I agree with you that Sedia Jatta is less likely to accept a post from APRC, that is PDOIS's principle which I admire them for.
