An Auditor General can only be removed from office by the President for inability to perform his functions as a result of infirmity of mind, or body or for misbehavior or incompetence.
Personally, with this result, I was expecting that the @BarrowPresident would immediately address the nation, just as you have issued a press release on the matter;and among other things, reaasure Gambians his Government's commitment to constitutional reform and the way forward.
Ministry of Justice
The 2024 Draft Constitution Bill did not secure the required votes in its Second Reading. Despite the setback, the Government remains committed to constitutional reform and strengthening democracy.
Celebrating Academic Brilliance!
In a remarkable display of academic achievement, three Gambian lawyers have graduated from the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights in Switzerland.
Abdou A Manneh, a staff member of the National Human Rights Commission and formerly as Director of Research and Investigation at the Truth, Reconciliation and Reparation commission (TRRC) graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Master of Advanced Studies in Transitional Justice, Human Rights and the Rule of Law.
Ousman E. Sanneh, who currently serves as an Officer Commanding Prosecutions at the Drug Law Enforcement Agency, also earned a Master's in Transitional Justice.
Isatou Sam also graduated with a Master's in International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights. These accomplishments highlight their dedication to advancing expertise in crucial areas of law and human rights.
Congratulations to the Trio
The overnight detention and charging of the editor and a journalist from The Voice newspaper for false publication under the Criminal Code by the IGP is unjustified/ unwarranted.Simply publishing a story about the alleged succession plan of @BarrowPresident should not result in anyone being detained overnight in a democratic society. @Gambia_MOJ@Info_Ministry_@NHRCGambia #NeverAgain
The Gambia Bar Association is deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Hon. Justice Mary Mamyassin Sey who was a Justice of The Supreme Court of The Gambia. She was immensely professional. At a personal level, she was flawlessly approachable, down to earth and courteous.
@TeflonStunna1 It's absolutely true. An African with book knowledge lacks the capacity to understand these realities. Without ideological leaning, we will continue to be subjugated.
Unless we cut the umbilical cord from the colonial past, our governments will continue to be midwifed by colonial institutions designed to perpetuate dominance & impoverishment. Redefining our terms of engagement, civilization, values, & principles is the way forward of becoming
@sheriffojobz It's the way forward. But people born and/or educated during colonial time can not lead the crusade because they don't have the guts to confront their masters.

Meet Justice Sarjo Barrow, who became the first Gambian immigrant appointed Federal Immigration Judge in the United States.
Justice Barrow officially assumed his new role following his appointment by the United States Department of Justice a few weeks ago.
He was appointed a federal immigration judge to begin hearing cases in May 2024 with 18 other new immigration Judges and two new appellate judges.
We wish Justice Barrow a successful tenure in office!
Happy #UnionDay to the people of the United Republic of Tanzania 🇹🇿. Whereas we failed in our Senegambia project, Tanganyika and Zanzibar, two independent countries after independence, are celebrating today 60 years of merger/union of the countries forming the present day 🇹🇿.
