UDP leader Ousainou Darboe laid into Dawda Jallow on Wednesday by saying the attorney general and minister of justice did not advance any ‘convincing’ argument to get members of the national assembly into supporting the draft constitution promulgation bill.
“And it was especially disappointing to see the attorney general and minister of justice who tabled the promulgation bill before parliament essentially abandon the legislature to NAMs and project indifference in the passing of a bill that he himself tabled at the national assembly,” Mr Darboe said during a news conference Wednesday.
He blasted the attorney general further: “He did not advance any convincing argument to persuade members of the national assembly to support the bill.
“His performance at the national assembly and the conduct of the national executive branch betrays the expression of the overwhelming majority of the Gambian people who have taken the time and effort to shape a progressive and forward looking constitution.”
