VP Calls for Objectivity As She Defends Suwareh for Ombudsman Position

When you try to come up with course let it be objective and professional, this is what I believe. So, that we don’t stand to talk (about) certain things. I know you the exclusive right for that, Vice President Dr Isatou Touray has told lawmakers.

“The body that the President…is the most competent body – the Public Service Commission he has consulted with them, the PMO wrote, the due process was followed,” Dr Touray told lawmakers in Banjul.

She added: “Let’s us think seriously on how we think about analysing issues. Yes, it’s about analyses, administrators are always analysing, leaders are always analysing the situations. And therefore, it’s important for you – lawmakers when things come, they have to be looked at from.”

“…the provision that are giving and I was appreciative of that. Now for this to be there that sub-section 1 provided that where a national assemby rejects a person nominated by the President it shall not again reject the person nominated to replace him or her.”

According to her, the President is not taking “your power, the President recognises your power” urging ” let us not be emotional, let us not feel that we are doing for somebody else, we are doing it for our country.”
