Former Justice Minister Lamin Jobarteh has called on parents to be vigilant over their children.
“Our children also, we need to look at them carefully. We need to teach our sisters, our mothers, our fathers to keep control of their children. If you go out at night for example, if you see how some of these girls dress and some of the things that they see, they do rather, is pathetic,” Jobarteh said on Thursday when he was asked to address the nation after ending his testimony before the TRRC. He would not elaborate.
Jobarteh in the late 90s worked at the NIA and he testified on allegations of torture made against him. He was accused of cutting the nipple of a former rebel Balo Kanteh but he denied the claim.
Jobarteh also worked as minister of justice and he was in the role when Jammeh sanctioned the execution of nine Mile Two death row inmates.
He said he knew nothing about the executions, even though he defended them as legal at the time.
