Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>I read your recent report on my testimony at the Coroner\u2019s inquest on the death of former US Ambassador Dawda Fadera and wish to make the following clarifications on my statement<\/p>\n

It goes like this: I was actually on ward rounds (seeing admitted patients) at the 6&7 male surgical ward when I received a call from my senior that Mr Fadera\u2019s \u2018condition\u2019 had \u2018changed\u2019 and that I should immediately check on him. I was shocked because I knew him personally and was never aware of his admission or whatsoever. I didn\u2019t hesitate to run to the scene. Upon arrival, I found the nurses resuscitating him by chest compressions and ambubagging. I ordered for a brief halt and quickly checked his pulses, cardiopulmonary activity and Pupils. Unfortunately, these examinations were not promising. Resuscitation continued for another 20 minutes, but to no avail. At this point, there was absolutely no signs of life. Death was pronounced and the body was prepared and transferred to the mortuary. My senior doctor was later informed about the death.<\/p>\n

My friend, we may all call Gambia home, but we live in very different Gambias. It\u2019s easy for some of us to see the glass half full. Many can\u2019t even find the glass but they also call Gambia home. The hardest part for some is to feel the pain of others living right next to them. Cooking their meals, washing their cars, begging for lifts, hawking wares, carrying briefcases, securing them, serving them, begging, teaching and cleaning. Do you know their names? My friend, what concerns us is often what we concern ourselves with.<\/p>\n

My friend, we share the same roads, but we don\u2019t breathe the same dust. I walk the roads and you drive or are driven on the roads with your windows up so you won\u2019t smell me or inhale the dust all around you. Your privilege is courtesy of my blood, sweat and tears. A privilege I am denied.<\/p>\n

My friend, we share the same sun but not the same heat. Your air is regulated while I sweat in my clothes, crying to someday live like you. You live on my tears and sweat, saddling me with more debt for my children to pay. Yet you claim to be working for me. My friend, the way we \u201chate\u201d corruption in The Gambia, imagine if we didn\u2019t love it so very much, it would have long since died.<\/p>\n

My friend, the way we lay claim to morality and shun hypocrisy. The way we annihilate actions we perceive to be immoral, imagine if we were not so \u201cmoral\u201d, hypocrisy would have thrived. And imagine if we didn\u2019t hate the \u201cword\u201d hypocrite, perhaps we would not see ourselves in it and take offense at its mere mention. We all know there are hypocrites; it\u2019s just that no one knows who they are and that is what scares me.<\/p>\n

My friend, the way we hate backbiting, imagine if we didn\u2019t love gossiping so much, backbiting would have died. But there is a reason gossiping gets you places and friends. All you know about Momodou is what Jabou told you but you\u2019re quick to claim that you know Momodou very well!<\/p>\n

My friend, the way we strive for excellence, imagine if we didn\u2019t settle for mediocrity? Can\u2019t you see how well the IEC planned everything and even shared a vague letter Gamsplaining why they can\u2019t register Gambians? Can\u2019t you see how our foreign ministry was entering into deals and Gamsplaining to convince us that they didn\u2019t sell our people out?<\/p>\n
