Our investigators have gathered that a tune of D7.5 million (Seven and a half million Dalasis) has just been spent on three vehicles at Chief Justice, Hassan B. Jallow’s office in our poor country. Insiders alleged that when Mr. Jallow assumed office, he promised to carry out some reforms including helping staff with risk allowance, clothe allowance, and transport allowance.

But overtime, the Chief Justice became too busy with travelling overseas for per diem with Ba Tambadou. Ba Tambadou was the corrupt Justice Minister of the Gambia, caught red handed in the filth of broad-daylight corruption giving our country’s diplomatic passport to his family members who were not working for the Gambia government.

When Ba Tambadou was confronted about this, his answer was, “My mum is sick and needs to travel overseas.” How many times do we Gambians read in the newspapers, “Young Gambian Needs Help to Travel for Overseas Treatment?” The money that should be used to equip our hospitals is the same money Hassan B. Jallow and Ba Tambadou have been squandering.

Insiders continued that since Mr. Jallow assumed office, he has been travelling overseas in a way no other Gambian Chief Justice has ever done. And remember, Adama Barrow recently spewed from his entrails that he couldn’t fight corruption, giving more license and impetus to perpetrators. Also, Chief Justice Hassan Jallow’s own staff are asked to book an appointment whenever they want to meet him.

The three cars were bought from TK Motors for D7.5 Million. Hassan Jallow’s own car cost a tune of D4.5 Million (Four and a half million Dalasis). He drives another car different from this. So, two vehicles for Mr. Jallow—one for office, and another for home. Some of his staff struggle to pay house rent, insiders say.

The above photo we reproduced of Chief Justice Hassan B. Jallow shows him in the United Kingdom, attending a ceremony to mark the opening of the U.K’s “Legal Year.” Look at his delegation and do the math for plane fares and per diem while Gambians don’t have a bulb or water on. How far will that trip go in helping Gambians at home?

The Secretary General, Office of the President, Nuha Touray and his permanent secretary were said to have visited Mr. Jallow’s office and advised that he should meet his staff of the justice department. Reader, after reading all we’ve put above, please think of our dire poor in The Gambia—families that sell okra or salt in the markets of Serrekunda, Brikama, Soma, Basse, etc.

Africa isn’t poor. Africa has filthy, ill-bred buffoons in positions. That’s why Trump could happily call us, “Shit-hole countries” and get away with it! In 2005, I watched the Senate confirmation hearing of America’s judge who would become Chief Justice, John Roberts who was appointed by Bush. Mr. Roberts was driving a cheap Chrysler car, even though he came from a very rich family.

If this isn’t a good example, there’s a YouTube video about a young African American guy who was followed by the police as he walked on foot for 20 miles to work. Twenty miles is almost like from Brikama to Abuko or even more. The police kept following this kid in the dark hours of the morning, only to see him enter his place of work.

They realized he was walking such a distance to work in order to keep his job. In America, there are still places with the adage, “Blacks are last to hire, and first to fire.” Asked, the young man explained that his only car had broken and he didn’t want to lose his new job.

The C.E.O of the company heard this heart-touching story and drove his own car from headquarters from another state to meet the young black man. He got off his own executive car and gave it to the young man. But our African leaders would smile in luxury cars and think that to be success while our mothers and sisters sell okra in mud and rain. Let Hell wait for these unthinking demons!
