We watch and wonder who our government works for.Īnd yet, we choose to be polarized in our defense and condemnation of these vices when we, collectively, are in fact the losers. 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. 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. 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.
