you are here home Africa Gambia Government Gambia, Government Until the military took over The Gambia’s government in a bloodless coup in 1994, the country was governed by a 1970 constitution. Under military President Yahya Jammeh, a new constitution was approved by public referendum in August 1996 and came into effect in January 1997. Under this constitution a popularly elected president serves as head of state for a five-year term. The president may serve an unlimited number of terms. The country’s legislative body is the unicameral National Assembly. Forty-eight of the legislature’s 53 members are popularly elected to five-year terms; the other 5 are appointed by the president. In parliamentary elections held in January 2002, 45 out of 48 elected seats went to members of Jammeh’s political party, the Alliance for Patriotic Reorganization and Cooperation (APRC). The judicial system consists of a supreme court with unlimited jurisdiction, an appeal court, and subordinate magistrate and divisional courts. Civil actions between Muslim citizens are handled by special Muslim courts. Minor civil and criminal cases are tried in group tribunals. search this website :: site map privacy legal

COMMITTEE TO PROTECT JOURNALISTS PRESS STATEMENT Delivered by CPJ representatives in Banjul on April 12, 2005 string of unsolved arson attacks, a series of unchecked threats, and the passage of restrictive new laws have created deep mistrust between the Gambia's government and its small independent press. Suspicions have been compounded by the December 2004 murder of veteran journalist Deyda Hydara and the government's failure to bring the perpetrators to justice. Over the past week, the CPJ delegation has had the opportunity to meet with journalists from private and state media, executives of the Gambia Press Union, and senior government officials. Independent journalists told us that the climate of fear intensified after the Hydara murder. Abdoulie Sey, editor of the biweekly newspaper The Independent , resigned and fled the country in fear for his life; Pap Saine, Hydara's co-editor at The Point , told CPJ that his family had also wanted him to quit for security reasons.
