Hamat Bah has told Niamina East lawmaker Omar Ceesay in his face he must have spoken at his own funeral as he countered the lawmaker over his claims he fights for the people he represents at the national assembly.
MP Omar Ceesay spoke fierily at President Barrow’s Pateh Sam meeting on Saturday where he chronicled how his championed the cause of his people at parliament.
“I have stood in the National Assembly and said the people of Niamina East do not have water, I have stood in the national assembly and said the people of Niamina East do not have electricity. I have stood in the national assembly and said the people of Niamina East do not have roads. I have stood in the national assembly and said the people of Niamina East do not have gardens, I have stood in the national assembly and said the people of Niamina East do not have development. So I think this is what you have tasked me to say on your behalf at the national assembly and I think I did that and I think that’s my job and I am doing it,” Ceesay speaking at the top of his voice told the crowd.
Hamat later in his speech countered Ceesay by telling the people the lawmaker blocked efforts to bring development Niamina East in what could be interpreted as an attempt to cast mistrust between the people of Niamina East and the young MP.
“Your MP spoke here today. But I will remind him what he said at the national assembly where I was there. When the Supplementary Appropriation Bill 2020 was brought, to construct roads for you, he did not vote for it. I was sitting there till 1am. If it’s left to him, you will not get any roads. You said
“You won by just 40 votes. About five parties contested in Niamina and you won by 40 votes. This crowd gathered here is more than 10,000 people. So Mr MP, you must have been speaking at your own funeral today,” Hamat said.
