Ok, what was his explanation?? We already know he was deputising for the Vice President at the Airport. So no fuss about that.However, he was there to perform the role of the VP and both the VP and the president had a legitimate expectation that he was going to deliver but did he?? Well not according to Jawara's account.
The whole point about deputising for somebody is actually to do the job he/she is suppose to do in that given event or circumstance. Hassan cannot therefore, turn around and say 'well that is the job of the VP', if that is what he said. Why did he agree to deputise for him then??
Thanks

He went into details as to why he was assigned to meet the President which was not customary for the Attorney General but that of the VP... The book I must say makes an incredible documentary of our justice system, land mark cases and how far we had strife for an independent justice system. The book is worth reading...

Jawara complained of receiving no briefing from the Honourable Minister on his return from an overseas trip, and this is said to be at odds with existing protocol at the time.

Since the Gambia got its Independence from the British in 1965, under a questionable future – dubbed as the improbable nation, its viability was a concern to the international community, including the British. Justice or the “Journey for Justice” has been a critical component to the socio-political-economical evolution for this newly independent nation. Hassan Jallow, hailed from a religious family in the small village of Bansang was the Minister of Justice and Attorney General during a critical period of the Jawara government. There are lots of questions that most Gambians have as to the evolution of rule of law and justice in the Gambia, and in his book, Hassan Jallow has shed light to lots of issues and questions:

>> > What happen in July 1994 when young soldiers high jacked the constitution, and forever changed the political landscape of the Gambia? How did it happen, and what role or lack thereof has the Minister of justice played. There were rumors that the Minister of Justice was offered to continue as the Justice Minister, was this true or just a rumor?

Is this a fair categorization?

As we continue to seek and aspire for change in the Gambia, it is important to have these conversations with people who were there, and together we will find the pathway for peace, prosperity and justice in the Gambia. Labor Day in Atlanta this year will be a memorable one indeed.
