Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Yahya Menteng Sanyang, the National Assembly Member for the Latrikunda Sabiji constituency, has urged his fellow lawmakers to consider impeaching President Adama Barrow.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI write to remind you about the impeachment obligations we have as representatives of the people. As you all know, the Constitution states that the president may be impeached for gross misconduct or incapacity to perform the functions of the president. Dear fellow NAMs, it is generally understood that gross misconduct includes violations of the Constitution or the law, as well as other serious misconduct that undermines the president\u2019s ability to fulfill his duties. Incapacity to perform the functions of the office of the president may include physical or mental illness, as well as other conditions that prevent the president from carrying out his duties effectively. As National members let\u2019s ask ourselves, whether the president is carrying out his duties effectively,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Latrikunda constituency member of parliament (MP) believes that any violation of the Constitution by the president is sufficient grounds for impeachment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and it is the president\u2019s duty to uphold it. When the president violates the Constitution, he is undermining the rule of law and the very foundation of our democracy. Fellow National Assembly members. I am very sure we all know very well the groundswell of impeachment, Now it is left to us and see whether the president\u2019s recent conducts and utterances do not amount to Constitutional violation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that impeachment is the ultimate check on the president\u2019s power and a necessary tool to protect the country\u2019s democracy, making it essential to hold the president accountable if they violate the Constitution.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge you to carefully consider the grounds for impeachment. My fellow National Assembly members, if you are ever faced with the difficult decision of whether or not to impeach the president. Remember that impeachment is not about POLITICS. It is about protecting the Constitution and the Gambian people. We are not going to be National Assembly if we don\u2019t have democracy. So our primary responsibility is to protect democracy at all cost…,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
