Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Modou Lamin Faye, a US-based Gambian criminologist specialising on law enforcement and national security crisis, has advised President Adama Barrow to listen to constructive criticism against his government.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Seattle-based said the Gambian leader should understand that constructive criticism may sound like a personal attack but at the same time its impact depends on how one reacts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who understand the importance of criticism usually choose to listen. By listening to the person being critical, you may end up establishing solutions to your problems,\u201d Faye told.<\/p>\n

Security<\/b><\/p>\n

He said based on his security analysis and risk assessment for the Gambia\u2019s security situation, there are reasons to believe that President Barrow is somehow compromised by Senegalese president Macky Sall and former president Jammeh\u2019s continued presence in the country\u2019s political discourse.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis might sound like a huge accusation but everyone should be subject to account. A good example would be when former US president Donald Trump was suspected of being compromised by the Russian government during their 2016 presidential election, former Director of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), James Corey Comey and US department of defense put the country\u2019s national security\u2019s best interest at heart and opened an investigation into this allegation. This is just to show that even at the international level, nobody is above the law and under any circumstance national security is not to be put at risk,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He said President Macky Sall providing security for Barrow and his family might be a debt to be repaid in the long run.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Barrow also allows people who have been accused and even confessed to the crimes that they have committed under Jammeh\u2019s regime during the TRRC hearing to still work in the government and not be held accountable for their actions just to be re-elected into office,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is why Jammeh has the audacity to even think that he can come back and rule the Gambia again without facing the consequences for his past crimes. This is an insult to the Gambia\u2019s justice system, rule of law and the victims of Jammeh\u2019s regime,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He advised the government to revisit its protocols on security access control at all government offices that carry sensitive information.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr President, I want you to understand that we will support you to accomplish whatever dream you have so long as it\u2019s in the interest of the Gambia and its people, but we also wouldn\u2019t allow a compromised leader to lead the Gambian people,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

He also advised the interior minister and SIS DG to protect the interest of the Gambia just like the former United States FBI Director, James Comey, who got fired for protecting the interest of the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the manner in which somebody who puts a country\u2019s interest at heart would be expected to behave, especially a security personnel,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
