Ours is a changing system...

The Point newspaper reported that the Minister of Health and Social Welfare had issued an apology to all who might have been offended by her statement regarding some doctors and corruption. No malice intended, she said and I hope the beef is now squashed?

This is what we talk about when we say even if there’s no “system change”, the system is changing, and that’s because change is a process, not a destination. What the doctors made the minister do, even Jammeh’s National Assembly couldn’t.

I remember when Sheriff, the Minister of Youth and Sports and team were asked to write and apologise to the Assembly through the Speaker for their stance/press release on the GNOC election, which they thought was a protest against the decision of the assembly's Select Committee on Youth and Sports, therefore contempt.

Hon. Fabakary was like: ’let them apologise and say why further action shouldn’t be taken against them.’ But that was before news got to Babili Mansa, Custodian of the Sacred Constitution of the Gambia. I’m sure he was like, ‘what the heck! How dare they ask a member of my Cabinet to deign like that? So, he also asked the National Assembly to apologise.
