The National President of the Citizens Alliance (CA) has resigned from his position and from the Party because of a lack of trust and the Party deviating from its values. The former National President, Mr Dominic Mendy was a former Finance Minister under the Leadership of President Yahya Jammeh. He played a key role in the development of Vision 2020 National Development Plan. The seasoned Economist runs a consultancy firm known as Emanic Consulting and also lectures at the University of The Gambia.
Below is his statement addressed to Party Leader Dr Ismaila Ceesay dated 6th July 2022. This means that the resignation has been in the works for over a week and is only being made public now.
“After thoughtful reflection of the problems of trust that our party is going through, coming mainly from the fact that as a party we have deviated from our values, I am convinced that continuing to be a member of this institution in this false sense of a value system, is an act of dishonesty to members of the party and the general public. These are honest people who believe that CA practice what they profess to them, and CA presents an effective alternative to bringing transformation, development and prosperity to all and sundry in our dear Gambia.”
“Given therefore my inability to live what I am not as is already revealed in the conduct of the party, I wish by this letter to convey to you, the general party membership and public, of my resignation from the national executive and membership of this party.”
“I continue to wish you well and hope that this will trigger an honest rethink of the sense of honesty in this party for which many young people have expended energy in establishing.”
“May God bless you all and bless The Gambia, our dear motherland.”
