PRESS RELEASE
February 27, 2014
The recent leak to the press of CORDEG’s foundation document(s) is a gross breach of trust. As CORDEG strives to build a democratic organization to serve the interests of ALL Gambians, we categorically condemn this irresponsible act, and take this leak seriously, and as constituting
sabotage. We, the Executive Committee of CORDEG, demand that the person(s) responsible halt these corrosive activities that were intended, but will not succeed in tarnishing CORDEG’s image. The Executive, as well as CORDEG’s membership are unwavering in their commitment to doing the peoples’ work, and no distractor now or in the future, can take any action, no matter how small or large, that will detract us from our central vision and mission of working with all pertinent stakeholders to restore and maintain democracy and the rule of law to The Gambia. To compare CORDEG’s careful and democratic deliberations to Yahya Jammeh’s draconian and autocratic rule is both misplaced and provocative-violating all sense of fair-play and professionalism.
Professor Abdoulaye Saine
Chair, CORDEG
