🙋🏿♀️Woman Suspected of Mental Breakdown Taken to Ndemban Clinic By Askanwi Media An unidentified woman in a yellow shirt and blue jeans was found in a delirious state at Kerr Serign Junction close to the taxi garage. She has now been transported to Ndemban Clinic by the Police, today at around 12 midday on 19th November 2024. The lady was well dressed and behaving erratically when approaching multiple people at the Kerr Serign Junction. At one point, after a driver and our reporter discussed how to assist her, she crossed the road and appeared to be doing something on the floor, as seen in the video. The lady did not tell her name but highlighted that she lives in Coastal Road with her twins. She did not have any identification on her. Our reporter managed to assist the lady in receiving health care after some passersby managed to apprehend her and handed her over to the Police at Senegambia Police Station. The Police eventually managed to calm her down and transport her to Ndemban Clinic. The Police informed our reporter that after taking her to Ndemban Clinic for health care she will be transported to Tanka Tanka. Askanwi is publishing this article in an attempt to reunite the unidentified lady with her family while still making efforts to conceal her identity.

🤔 How Committed is President Barrow’s Government in Progressing TRRC Prosecutions? Since the TRRC recommended prosecution of those bearing the most responsibility, President Barrow’s government continues to tout it’s commitment to prosecution. However, back in 2021, President Barrow’s NPP attempted to go into an Alliance with former President Jammeh, which failed, leaving the President in Alliance with the APRC led by Speaker Jatta. These mixed messages have necessitated this review of the government’s efforts to complete it’s implementation plan on prosecution on time. ⏳️ #Askanwi #MoJ #NHRC #TRRC #Prosecution #ECOWASTribunal https://lnkd.in/eqXScmjA

❓️Is an Apology Sufficient When the President or a Minister Violates the Constitution? Speaker Jatta ruled for Finance Minister Keita to apologise to Parliament after admitting violating section 152 (1) of the 1997 Constitution which requires the President to cause the Finance Minister to table the Budget sixty days before the end of the year. But is an apology consistent with the dictates of the Constitution when violated by the President or a Minister? #Opinion #Law #Constitution https://lnkd.in/e2tp7uvJ
