Everyday we watch ourselves lose the grip on having the ability or drive to hold our officials accountable or to promote transparency and responsible governance. Official misconduct is being met with impunity. It is the reason why people like Seedy Njie, FTJ and a host of others recycled from the Jammeh administration, whose crime was/is proving to be the antithesis to our new Gambia project, by not only aiding dictatorship but boldly remaining apologetic for doing so and indicating in many ways that they will repeat history if given a chance.Ĭorruption is endemic.
KITABU GAMBIA SERIES
Kitabu is setting standards and by taking the series to YouTube, it can help the younger generation to tap into digital platforms for a wider audience. It’s why ‘transactional’ politics or political clientelism has become normalized, placing individuals, who are willing to go far and beyond to elect a leader, in positions of power as their reward. Ismaila Fadera, a Sareti Bayelaa enthusiast on social media, described the production as undoubtedly the best Gambian series, saying everything about the production team is topnotch. Winner takes all kind of politics is why we normalize politics of deception (the president saying ‘you can promise anything when seeking people’s mandate and do otherwise when in power, and actually living by it or NAMs running on a ticket that’s popular with their electorates and in the aftermath of winning the election, switch allegiance in return for personal favors.) It is why a sitting president brags about brutalizing dissenters and have us laugh about, bribing opponents and electorates most likely by using our own public resources. Some common values would include honesty, truthfulness, integrity, devotion to the common good… Against this background therefore, ‘winner takes all’ kind of politics cannot be the acceptable norm (even though unfortunately this has become normalized under the Barrow regime).
Rather than polarizing every issue and responding to scenarios and circumstances with subjective sentiments, let’s agree on some common values and principles and draw a line between what is to be commonly acceptable and what is not in our sphere of governance. We must re-channel asap, starting with detoxifying our political discourse. Kitabu’s alliance with Essa Faal came some weeks after the political pact between Yahya Jammeh’s APRC and Adama Barrow’s led NPP.Currently, most of our energy is being directed towards the wrong people and the wrong courses for subjective reasons. This guy is a natural,” Essa Faal told his supporters. Fatty for his rousing endorsement of my candidacy for president. Therefore, we call on all Gambia’s to support Essa Faal,” Kitabu told the media.įatty went on calling every Gambian to vote for the former TRRC Lead Counsel to “ usher new hope for a better and prosperous Gambia.“Įssa Faal, meanwhile, hailed the move by PDP describing Kitabu as a ‘ naturalist.’ “ Let me take this opportunity to thank Mr. We have all seen the great work he did with the TRRC.
I know that I have a lot of experience, but I believe Essa Faal has more experience than me. “ We, at PDP, know that the rightful person to rule this country and to take us to the next level is Essa Mbye Faal. Meanwhile, at a press briefing, Kitabu said Essa is the best candidate for the December 4th election due to his track record during the TRRC truth-seeking hearings. The Gambian comedian and Leader of the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) Kitabu Fatty has declared his support to presidential hopeful Essa Faal ahead of the December 4th presidential election.Įssa Faal is the latest to join the political scene after he declared his intention to run for president, describing himself as the “ best candidate” for the job during the official launch of his party.
