President Adama Barrow should respect the constitution and appoint a Vice President, it is time for the country to have a full time Vice President says Mama Kandeh.
“Do they want to tell us that there is no qualified Gambian who is capable of being Vice President or is it that the position is reserved to suit the interest of an individual.”
The GDC leader made these remarks Tuesday, at a Press Briefing in Baobab Hotel, were he talked about issues such as, President Barrow’s swearing-in ceremony in Senegal by a private lawyer, which he frowned at, GDC’s denial of permits to hold rallies among other things.
Kandeh reminded the coalition government that 57 percent of Gambians didn’t vote for them adding that government should take lead by respecting the rule of law.
Kandeh said the Police have the right to denied Gambia Democratic Congress permit but it should be based on genuine reasons.
“The problem I have, is calling GDC party militants and members to go to the police station to be screened before they can issue them permit, our militants and members are not criminals.”
He call on Barrow’s government to create a level playing field for all the political parties. He noted that calling for level playing field was the reason why the entire UDP executive were put in prison.
GDC leader disclosed that when they were returning from Basse on Monday, ECOMIG forces stopped their Trucks and asked them to offload the firewood and charcoal it was carrying. Is that the mission of the ECOMIC forces in The Gambia Kandeh asked.
