Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The Gambia For All (GFA) party says it regards the incident of 12th September, which led to killing two and injury of PIU officers, as an \u201cextremely serious matter\u201d affecting our collective sense of security, and a \u201cthreat to our national security.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

The party adds that the reaction of the authorities so far has been anything but reassuring.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegrettably, before the official police briefing, the government Spokesperson went on the radio waves to proffer a narrative of the tragedy that is very much at variance with the limited information provided by the security authorities. In this regard, one is inclined to draw the conclusion that the government Spokesperson\u2019s description of the tragic shootings could be labeled as misinformation if not outright fabrication. The government spokesperson may be subconsciously referring to himself in his description of the Gambian character. It is demeaning for a senior government official to refer to citizens of your own country in such a derogatory manner. He must apologize and retract the statement,\u201d the Party states.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government spokesperson\u2019s self interjection into the case, describing in detail the profile, profession, and potential accomplices of the alleged perpetrator, should be a matter of great concern to all citizens and for the rule of law in our country. After all, the laws of our country assume that we are all presumed innocent until proven guilty. If the accused individual is found to be the culprit, he should face the full force of the law. The responsible thing to do is to allow the security services to thoroughly investigate the matter and let justice take its course.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Gambia For All party has always expressed concern about competency or the lack thereof, in the current administration. In this case of the government spokesperson, we are not surprised by the debacle, but the fact that he does not consider his position as now unattainable, is a worrying sign of lack of accountability in the current administration.\u201d<\/p>\n
