The hiring and firing tactics continue. This practice which commenced since 2004 has perplexed most sober-thinking Gambians particularly when inadequate reasons for these frequent hiring and firing of civil servants are reported. This gives rise to speculations and rumour-mongering in the country.

My Dear for_all-Gambian,
You wrote "President Jammeh is right in firing and prisoning those individuals found quilty in a court of law with due representation"
When was Lang Tombong Tamba, Bojang (State Guard Commander, etc, found guilty in a court of law before their firings?
As a matter of fact, when was anybody fired from Jammeh's government after a due process of the law?

I am sure you are following the happenings in The Gambia, our beloved country which all loving Gambians ought to do. For your information the military is a different institution and has its own rules and regulations. This fact applies to arm forces in the world. There is what is called the Arm Forces Act. A superior commander in the army armed with reasonable facts that a junior soldier has commetted a crime can do one of many actions. The superior can charge, detain, fine, demote to a lower rank, dismiss with disgrace,and or jailed. M you want to know what you are talking about before you try to challenge facts. Don't just write because you can knowing that you are before the veil of the world wide web. I again repeat that President Jammeh is right to fire those individuals who abuse the trust of the Gambian people. The firing should continue until we have competent individuals to run the affairs of the state. Good job President Jammeh and keep up the good job.
I must say that I have nothing against Foroyaa news paper to comment on the the hiring and firing of individuals in the country. I do have an issue with the paper saying that our sympathy goes to them especially the top military officers who were found quilty of abusing the trust of the nation. President Jammeh is right in firing and prisoning those individuals found quilty in a court of law with due representation. Corruption is evil in any branch in the government especially in the military. The Gambia needs competent people who are educated and has the interest of the country at hearth. Good job President Jammeh and keep up the good job.
