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.
