Gambia Leaves The Commonwealth!












 
President Yahya . Jammeh of the Small West African State of The Gambia, has thrown a 'bombshell': he removes The Gambia form the Commonwealth. Jammeh, a low level junior soldier, came to power in 1994 in a military coup by overthrowing the former well respected President Dauda Jawara. Many felt at the time that this was a 'falamakata' ( copy cat) coup following the military coup in Sierra Leone in 1992 by the Strasser/Maada Bio/ SAJ Musa coup. The question now- is this a wise move  by The Gambia and its people? View the short News night clip of 3rd October 2013 on Jammeh's antics

Kadi Sesay tiff light; Maada Bio tiff passport. Kadi Sesay tiff light; Maada Bio tiff passport. Kadi Sesay tiff light; Maada Bio tiff passport When I read the above words in the Sierra Leone Issues forum, my first expression was - Oh No! not another Big SLPP Fish! ofIt is indeed sad  and dissapointing for people  TRUST to be exposed in prety embarrasing situations. When I was growing up, as a  child, whenever one hears the song  - "Tiffy,Tiffy Jankoliko", one immediately knows that a THIEF has been caught or is being digraced publicly... with much clapping, laughing and in many cases beating, slapping, kicking and all. For someone to be branded a THIEF is one of the most degrading accusions recognised the world over and the LAW frawns upon this failure of human behaviour. In England, the Theft Act 1968, provides for up to 5 years imprisonment for theft defind in Section 3 of that Act. We in Sierra Leone still continue to use the Larceny Act 1916, (virtually a cabon cop

https://www.facebook.com/SierraNetworkSalone/videos/3744142002530554/ INCREASE IN TOLLGATE TAXES - A RECIPE FOR ADDITIONAL HIGHER INFLATION ON COMMODITY/ FOOFCOST/ FUEL AND OTHER TRANSPORT PRICES. THIS IS UNFAIR    AND UNREASONABLE!  CATEGORY 5, AN INCREASE   FROM NLe183 to NLe700, an increase of 382.5%.  CATEGORY 6, AN INCREASE FROM NLe100 TO NEW 250    i.e. 150%. These are the categories that will mostly    impact cost of living and increase economic suffering on the people.    The Ministers of Transport, Works, Finance and Trade must conjointly review these increases as these are UNFAIR AND UNREASONABLE AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL TAXES. TAXATION POLICY IS NOT TO PENALISE OR IMPOVERISH THE PEOPLE BUT TO PROVIDE    REVENUE, REASONABLE ENOUGH TO MITIGATE    GOVERNMENT    SPENDINGS IN VARIOUS PUBLIC GOODS! EXECUTIVE CABINET IS NOT THE SUBSTITUTE FOR PARLIAMENT; ONLY PARLIAMENT HAS THE POWER TO IMPOSE TAXES. This is an unconstitutional action/policy change by Cabinet! https://www.facebook.com/
