How Halifa Misses The Point

Heroic Halifa Wrong On Separation Of Powers Analysis!
“Halifa Sallah Calls Out Barrow’s Ministers As He Exposes Plans To Reintroduce Another Dictatorship!” Apparent this “dictatorship” will come about because Barrow’s Executive is supporting certain party candidates for the Parliamentary Elections!

Critical Analysis On Causes Of The Coalition Cracks
Coalition governments are synonymous with internal feuds and clash of principles and interests. However, the maturity and leadership qualities of leaders are most tested during such disagreements. Unfortunately, some have already failed while I extol the ones who refused to give to politics of blackmail, distortion, conjecture and character assassination. […]
The Repealing Of The Presidential Age Limit Was Not A Constitutional Violation
By Manding Darboe Number one, I am not a lawyer or a constitutional lawyer for that matter. The Gambia Constitution was not violated by His Excellency Adama Barrow’s Coalition Government in any way shape or form.

Mai And Baa Surrender To Politics
Halake’s London Letter: Response to “Gambian Insider” re: Age Amendment Debate. Dear Editor, Clearly my clients, Baa Tambedou and Mai Fatty, have thrown in the towel on this matter.
