 Statement on the University of The Gambia saga—Rejoinder

The Gambia is a Republican State, not a monarchy where pronouncements may amount to law or carry the effect of law. Public officials should appreciate the dichotomy between law and policy. In a democracy, the Executive must lead the trend in observing transparent respect for, and enforcement of the rule of law, including empowering State institutions tasked with the application of the law.

Gambia Uni. Crisis

 Letter Writer Asks VC, Dr. Kah, Resign

Dear Ebrima,  

I read the piece on the UTG and must say that the revelations are disheartening. The figure quoted for salary alone, if valid, does not reflect any sacrifice on the part of Dr. Kah as Vice Chancellor for the benefit of his country and if indeed he is building the private academic institution (an Edifice it is) that I saw off of the Bijilo junction about 200 meters off the Bertil Harding Highway, as alleged, this is clearly in a conflict with his position as the head of a budding UTG.

Thoughts on Charles Taylor’s Verdict

By Lansana Gberie

I have been asked by many people about my views on the conviction, on 26 April, of Charles Taylor, Liberia’s former president, for aiding and abetting Sierra Leone’s Revolutionary United Front (RUF). He is the first Head of state – after Admiral Doenitz, who very briefly led Germany after Hitler committed suicide, and was convicted by the Nuremburg Court after WWII – to be convicted by an international court for war crimes and crimes against humanity

Gambian Letter Writer questions Dr. Kah’s Professorial Credentials

“Is Professor Muhammadou Kah a fake professor?”

Let all citizens of The Gambia be aware that our only university which is perhaps the greatest achievement we can boast of is in shambles. This is because of the greed of Professor Muhammadou Kah and his wife who is working hand in hand with him from the Management Dev. Institute— M.D.I. They happen to be absentee Gambians as they are proud to say that they have been out of this country for twenty six years

Gambia’s University Crisis: Sociologist Halifa Sallah clarifies,

Dr. Ebrima Sall defends Dr. Kah, but Prof. Saine insists “Kah must step down”

By Ebrima G. Sankareh, Editor-in-Chief

Ever since the adverse findings of an investigative panel into alleged corrupt practices of the University of The Gambia (UTG), Vice Chancellor, Dr. Muhhamadou Kah, were read before a crowded courtroom at the Banjul Magistrates’ Court last week, Gambians have been restless.  Academics, scholars as well as concerned citizens continue to debate the matter. The erudite Gambian sociologist, Halifa Sallah, sends a cautionary statement that discussing the revelations/findings before a verdict is rendered in Mr. Gumbo Touray’s legal saga, may be subjudice.

Transforming Gambian Agriculture—The Food Front

By HAMADI MAATONG, USA

For once, the Secretariat for Agriculture, DAS, The President’s Office and NARI should hush up and listen to ideas on how to translate whatever vision there is for Agriculture and in the process transform Gambian Agriculture to put earned money in the pockets of Gambian subsistence farmers, aspiring farmers and potential investors. For starters, the word of advice is, to START SMALL, find the rhythm and learn the art and science for the object of coalescing small holders into lean and well-oiled farm and marketing entities that budding investors can buy into.
