Mai Ahmad Fatty, leader of the Gambia Moral Congress (GMC) has given his backing for a national dialogue to chart a way forward for the country.
One year after Gambians put an end to the 22-year-old regime of Jammeh regime, there are calls for President Adama Barrow to convene a national dialogue to find ways of addressing challenges in the various sectors of the country including education and health sectors.
“A national dialogue is necessary after going through a brutal dictatorship that divided the country ,” he told reporters during a
news conference held Sunday at his party headquarter.
The tiny West African nation is recovering from two-decade long of ‘rule of fear’, that has left Gambians more divided on so many
critical issues.
Holding a national forum is expected to provide for Gambians, from all walks of life the opportunity to take stock of the
current state of affairs and make recommendations that would enable
the country to build a consensus on the way forward.
Mr Fatty said the country remains polarized as Gambians are still politically divided. He cited the results of the 2016 Presidential elections, saying it was very close.
“It is necessary to have a national unity dialogue. It would be very useful for Gambians to put the past behind them, and appreciate the significance of the change that came about, ” Fatty emphasized.
As the New Gambia is taking shape, GMC leader further stated that it requires a new type of citizen.
He then added that part of the responsibility of the new government is to strengthen institutions, both government and non-governmental.
He reiterated the importance of such an initiative, and took the opportunity to urge government to take the path toward dialogue.

Mai IDIOT Fatty,
One of the architects of DIVISION in the Gambia. Mai, the pompous hypocrite, the callous and FOOLISH politician whore came on the “coalition” centre stage as the heroe, the conqueror. This novice pseudo politician who cannot amass the most minute number of votes from his own area of birth is the most pronounced IDIOT representative of the present tense political climate between political parties, tribes and constituent areas.
After being disgraced by his co-legionaires in the defunct “coalition”, Mai has added fuel to fire.
He has pronounced his support for this INEPT, CORRUPT, CORRUPTIBLE, SELFISH, INCAPABLE government’s stance in the deportation of our compatriots from Europe and the USA.
If Mai is bootlegging to return to his benefactors for a position, let him go, but let him shut his filthy mouth about the deportation of the poor people’s children who have spent their entire family income on their children’s venture to seek opportunities elsewhere. There will be no genuine national debate unless this HOPELESS government retracts and goes back to the White people and asks them to halt deporting our people, stop harassing the APRC by curtailing/undermining her activities, quickly bring back electricity/water services that President Jammeh brought to the doorstep of every Gambian.
Mai fatty is a hero who is never afraid to speak his mind and a patriot prepared to loose all in his pursuit of democratic dispensation, the adherence to the principle of rule of law and good governance in our homeland. Gambians forever will be grateful to him for his contribution in ousting the coward Yahya Jammeh from power. The architect of division in the Gambia, the pompous lying hypocrite, the callous and foolish dictator who thought he was bigger than the western world, bigger than the UN, the EU, the African Union, the Common Wealth, the Ecowas and the Mandinka tribe. The callous and foolish dictator who forgot the mantra that LEADERS COMES AND GO, and that you reap what sow. The callous and foolish dictator who was afraid to stand and fight but ran away with his tail between his sorry legs the moment he heard jets flying over his Kanilai bolthole. The callous and foolish dictator who thought that killing his own people and misappropriating their dwindling resources into his various enterprises is going to buy him security from the wrath of his people and the wrath of Almighty God. The callous and foolish dictator who couldn’t shut his smelly filthy mouth with his hopeless predictions of Mandinka never ruling the Gambia again have also gone to pass. This callous, foolish and pathetic dictator is nobody other than Yahya Idiot Jammeh, the coward. Those who received sanctuary, education and employment as our faked ass professor claimed, then the naked connotation of racism as in his phrases sound dis-ingenious, ungrateful and outright hateful. The dignity shown by Mai Fatty under difficult circumstances speak volume of his caliber as a natural born leader, unlike the faked ass professors who peddled in lies, insults, innuendos, tribalism and hateful bigotry. May Almighty god protect you always Mai Ahmad Fatty.
I think Mai could have been less vocal whilst part of the government and kept his good job and position/// However he chose to give voice to his opinions and suffered the consequences in the turmoil of events within his parameters/
Much of what he said against Jammeh over the years was heroic/ I always have time for Mai/ He is a very decent and brave man/ I hope this inititive will grow some wings and bring him back to lead and guide public opinion.
Babu idiot soli you have a big problem.You are wasting your time.You said yaya thief is your hero.There must be shortage of heroes then.You are always angry.
If Mai Fatty should suggest a national dialogue after all his blunders at the Ministry of the Interior what has he observed now that he didn’t see before? Mai lacks leadership qualities. He, like all his coalition partners came on a vengeful platform when they assumed power, to ignore the broader interest of Gambians.
Gambians no longer want this CORRUPT, SELFISH and INEPT administration in power. They have been suffering since this bunch of USELESS people took over.
Babu has nothing to offer Gambia. He just misses Jammeh’s “Bugarabu” parties in Kanilai with their free food and women. He calls Barrow uneducated, as if he or the false professor, his idol, has more education than Barrow.
Unlike Jammeh who came to hijack our state to form his Kanilai enterprise, Adama has had a successful business career before going to politics. Sorry Babu, but those free bees are gone for you forever. Your days of orgies with the Kanilai monster are over, unless you visit him in E. Guinea, or later in prison not far from your backyard.
If the Gambian people have been suffering since President Barrow came to power, then how were they before he came to power? Were they living in luxury? Bunga Bunga parties at Kanilai, disappearances without trace, tortures, rapes, killings of innocent citizens ain’t definition of luxury for sane minded people. If the strength of a hand written note from a semi literate general of the previous dictatorial government can suffice to withdraw Millions of Dollars from our state coffers, When a president can parade aid sufferers on national television in bogus treatment sessions to hasten their demise, When our constitution is reduced to nothingness but its application dictated by the whims of a murderer, When our countryside is littered with the remains of our illustrious sons and daughters, When merchants of death and torture on numberless vehicles held our people to ransom, When the rule of the jungle became a byword of the previous administration, When the President is richer than the nation he governed and his titles so numerous that reporters fret when mentioning him in their reporting, then how is President Barrow and his administration entirely to blame for the state of our affairs? How can a die hard supporter of Yahya Jammeh label this government corrupt? How can a die hard supporter of Yahya Jammeh claim that the suffering of our people start with Barrow’s administration? To hell with these lying, dishonest and worthless breed who still put salt into our unhealed wounds. They can run, hide, pout, rant, rave and lie but smoking them out from their rat holes is in full swing. David Colley being the latest and more to follow. These lying dishonest blood suckers will be pursued with vigor till they are all brought to justice. Down with APRC and its evil agitators.
