\n

Honourable Sidia S. Jatta, the member for Wuli West has on Monday urged his fellow Parliamentarians to refrain from insulting each other and instead talk about issues affecting the population.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He said the parliament should be a place to promote enlightenment.<\/p>\n

Jatta made the statement after Parliamentarians debated the issue surrounding President Barrow\u2019s mandate which is a subject of controversy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there is confusion out there, they have to look up to the parliament, but if we can\u2019t do that, then, we are failing our people. Party politics have no space in the parliament,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cthe debate is not about 3 or 4 years. Who cares about it?\u201d
\nHe said the Vice President and the cabinet ministers that were present at the National Assembly came to listen to criticism about their policies and additions by the deputies to improve on those policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou talked about agriculture, what do you have to offer? You talked about fisheries, what do you have to offer? You know what they have been giving is pittances and it cannot develop agriculture \u2013 it cannot develop fisheries and yet you want agriculture to grow. I think we have to start thinking more seriously about this country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said for 57 years, people don\u2019t have water and electricity supply.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe debate should be about development. That is the debate and it should not be 3 years or 5 years. Let us not be hypocritical about things. That was dead since 2017, nobody talked about it. When was it killed \u2013 when it was being assassinated, they were clapping and when things went another way round they are crying. What is your problem? You have to stop being hypocritical about matters. Development is not about hypocrisy. Development is thinking strategically and is to be ready to sacrifice, but you are not ready to make a sacrifice,\u201d Jatta said.<\/p>\n

He said those talking about 3 years were quite when the problem began.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President now said he is going for 5 years. You cannot do anything about that. You must now focus on development,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the coalition was a tactical move to solve a problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was not ignorance. No one knows the Constitution better than we do. The coalition does not need five years to do what it was supposed to do \u2013 just reforms. (It is) just clearing the field for a multi-party contest in a decent situation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The veteran politician called on those engaged in insulting one another in the National Assembly to desists from their actions, adding that they have more important issues to talk about. He said they should always ensure that they talk about the people they represent at the parliament and not to engage themselves in insults.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy colleagues, you must stop this (insults). This place (the parliament) is not a place where you get scores against each other,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Jatta called on deputies to be ready to sacrifice for the country by forfeiting their allowances as a way to contribute to the debt payment. He challenged them all to do that in 2020.<\/p>\n

Jatta argued that farming has now become a liability in the country. He said the quality of the groundnut is no longer good, adding that the price that groundnut is being purchased is not good.<\/p>\n

He said undue dependence on other nations is one way of sacrificing the sovereignty of The Gambia. He said the Government is relying on begging and borrowing, adding that this has to end.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has to be addressed. I have the solution to this. If I am given the means, I will address the economic problems of this country and not without sacrifice,\u201d he said.
\nHe said boreholes are constructed based on funds obtained through begging and borrowing.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow can we develop through begging? Development is not development unless everything that is primary to your living is handled and controlled by yourself. If you can\u2019t do that then you are dependent and not independent. Anything that is primary to our development must be generated and controlled by ourselves,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Honourable Jatta said 2020 should be a year of changes; a year to end begging.
\n\u201cNo nation has developed through begging,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the government should create a health facility that will be a specialist institute that will cure people without referring them to Dakar.<\/p>\n

Madi Ceesay suggested that the Government should go for a year loan embargo.
\n\u201cLet\u2019s go for a year loan embargo and this may solve our problems. We must be ready to sacrifice. A loan embargo for a year will solve a lot of our problems,\u201d Ceesay said.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Deputies debated on whether President Barrow should step down as a way of honouring the coalition 2016\u2019s agreement and the promise he made to Gambians or continue with the 5 \u2013 year tenure as provided for by the Constitution.<\/p>\n

Sulayman Saho, the deputy for Central Badibou said the people who protested on the 16th December 2019 were out to remind the President of the promise he made to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose in the protest weren\u2019t criminals. They are (were) simply reminding the leadership of the coalition of their promise. The stakeholders were aware of the constitutional provision of 5 years, but they went in for 3 years. The people are out to hold them to account. When they failed to meet their target, they should have gone back to the people and explained. This will foster peace,\u201d Saho submitted.<\/p>\n

He said there is need for a national dialogue on the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf not we will hold you by your neck,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On President Barrow\u2019s 2019 nationwide tour, Saho said it should have been a platform to give people accurate information about their policies and their intervention.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt should not be used as a platform to misinform or insult others. It is a form of creating violence,\u201d Saho said.<\/p>\n

Alagie Jawara, the member for Lower Badibou said 3 years is not the only agreement of the coalition. Honourable Jawara said the coalition stakeholders agreed that the President should be a coalition president but when they assume office, others brought about dispute saying he should be an executive president.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is why he (the President) can hire and fire you. Why don\u2019t you protest then? We were the pioneers (starters) of the 5 years (campaign). Let us be honest. Nobody has the power to force the President to resign. He (the President) has the discretion to resign and it should not be a force. An agreement cannot supersede the constitution,\u201d Saho said.<\/p>\n

He said the members of the National Assembly calling for 3 years were the same people who were supporting President Barrow to go for 5 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have always supported the five-years and this is what I will remain to defend. I feel ashamed of some of my colleagues who now turn to defend 3 years because we all started the five-years (campaign) together. We were all throwing our weight for five years. Why the change now? We all know why the coalition failed? That is an open secret to all of us. This is very disheartening,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The member for Tallinding, Fatoumata Jawara called for political decency.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are threats to burn down the buildings of some of the National Assembly members and cabinet ministers. Our country is flaming \u2013 I am calling on political leaders to condemn their actions. Those calling for 3 years were the ones supporting the President\u2019s 5 years.<\/p>\n

We all know where they belong to,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Madi Ceesay, the member for Serrekunda West said the issue of 3 years is the making of the current government and they must face reality whether they like it or not.<\/p>\n

Honourable Ceesay said protest within the confines of the law is in order and that was why the people protested on December 16.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are saying the president must be held accountable for his own words. Gone are days when politicians become deceptive. The electorates were out to hold their elected representatives to account. The number of people who came out on December 16 cannot be ignored by any serious government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the government should treat the petition (by 3 Years Jotna) with care and maturity in order to avoid chaos.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe petition is a challenge to the government of the day and they should not put it under their carpet \u2013 history will judge them. It is important that the 3-years issue should be treated with maturity,\u201d Ceesay concluded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
