UDP leader Ousainou Darboe has said it is his view soldiers who confessed to killing people should not be allowed to don the nation’s military uniform.
Some Soldiers who confessed to carrying out killings on the orders of former President Yahya Jammeh are still serving members of the army.
And speaking during a chat with UDP diaspora top gun Saihou Saidily, Darboe opined: “I say this without any apology and I say this with very heavy heart: soldiers who have confessed to murders, do you allow them to continue wearing our uniform?
“At least even if I don’t do anything to them, I will send them on leave so that they really do not put on that uniform of honour. Murderers should not be donning those dresses. That is my view. They will hate hearing what I’m saying but that is the right thing to do.
“If I was president, honestly, those people who were involved in the gruesome murder of Haruna Jammeh… Why should I keep those people in the armed forces?”
Darboe spoke in the context of the TRRC, where he also said he doesn’t want to believe President Barrow will not implement the recommendations of the probe once it is ready with its work.
