SUPPORT FOR KANYIBAA KANYI

LETTER TO GAINAKO EDITOR.

MR. SUNTOU TOURAY ECHOES VOICE ON KANYIBA KANYIMr.

Editor,Allow me space in your ethical news paper to say some thing concerning a plea made by a concerned Gambian regarding Kanyiba's case.It is very sad to see our fellow citizens of the tiny republic thinking in this way. The laws of the Gambia are governed by a constitution and the rule of law, no one person should dictate the law or the constitution. Why would Gambians come to think in this level as the concern writer did? I am not faulting him here, all I am trying to put across is why should yahya Jammeh hold Kanyiba in violation to a court order? Why should Kanyiba and Rambo be held without trial?These are legitimate questions the concern citizen should first ask and then he/she can continue to involve the dormant CCF. The writer very well high lighted the lack of concern and care of Kanyiba's work colleague; this is the Gambia under yahya Jammeh. The simple principles of communal relations are floundered .CCF staff and managers should challenge the illegal arrest and detention of their colleague, they can at-least make a press release and contribute towards the legal bill.The Gambia shouldn't come down to this low level where concern citizens believe that only by pleading with an insane paranoid dictator will the law take its cause. Our situation is getting desperate.My plead to the CCF staff would be show support ,write letters to powerful people to intervene ,what is happening to Kanyiba can happen to you .Remember Kanyiba was your one time friend and confidant ,play a role his suffering to get him release.To the wider Gambian community, we should end our unholy silence, the men and women in the media are not the only people with the duty to speak out for us. We all know how our dictator perceives the private media outlets. Our silence is a sign of complicity and lack of care.I hope and pray a day would come soon where an individual’s Gambian freedom will be protected and respected at all times.
