By Bakary Sambou  Sukuta    Dear Editor    The news ( on The Fatu Network) that UTG is made to pay damages to its former Director of Finance by a competent court in Kanifing is something that should not be taken lightly by all those who have a stake in UTG, especially the Ministry for Higher Education and the UTG staff association. The verdict has highlighted some pertinent questions that need to be answered by the authorities at UTG;     How did it come to this when both staff, students, and indeed the poor  Gambia populace were made to belief that Kojo’s contract ended and was  therefore not renewed by UTG?    Who are those who decided to wrongful terminate Kojo’s contract ( as per  court verdict) leading to this unfortunate scenario we are facing now?    Now that this unfortunate event happened, what will or should be the fate of all those major players involved in this saga? Is it not fair to the general  Gambia populace that such individuals should dance to the tune for taking  such an erroneous decision?    We the general public are keenly following developments. This actually is a litmus test for the Barrow Government. The injustices of the former  government in these kind of situations should be a thing of the past. It is  high time that those in position of responsibility be accountable for  whatever decision they take or fail to take in the execution of their official  functions. The University is a public property and those entrusted to run it  should not be exempted from accountability.     If the Higher Education Ministry and UTG staff association are serious  about the advancement of UTG, this should serve as a window of opportunity to ensure that those responsible are brought to book because the financial implication here can result into thousands dalasis of taxpayers  money being paid out to an individual due to reckless decision making of  a few people. This is really unforgiving and we are waiting to see how this whole saga will end and whether culprit(s) will be justifiably punish or not.
