Foday Gassama, a former nominated National Assembly Member, added: \u201cWe have seen a lot of intellectuals who have been appointed as ministers but failed to deliver even in the former president Jammeh\u2019s era and at the end of the day, they were dismissed from cabinet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gassama said the president must scrutinise potential candidates carefully and select the best ones to avoid having saboteurs in the system. \u201cThere are lots of saboteurs in the past five years and he should not allow that to happen again,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n

Gassama, a former UDP youth official, called on party leader Ousainu Darboe to now accept the election results and move on. Commenting on general matters, Gassama said he is worried by the rise in prices of basic commodities and called for necessary regulation to curb illegal profiteering.<\/p>\n
