Furthermore, the Plaintiff asserts that his right to fair trial was violated by the Courts. That even at the Supreme Court, the prosecution informed the Court that they will not file any brief because they believed that the Plaintiff had not committed any offence, but the Court did not allow the appeal. The record of proceedings have up till the time of filing this suit not been released despite the Plaintiffs application. On the 5th of July 2018, the Defendant filed a rejoinder to the Plaintiff’s reply stating inter alia that the said petition was sent to the Judicial Service Commission and that it was on the strength of the petition from the Gambia Bar Association that an investigation was conducted. The Defendant reiterated its position that it was based on the report of the said investigation that the Plaintiffs appointment was rescinded by the then President. The Defendant denied that the prosecution counsel opted out of the case on the grounds canvassed by the Plaintiff and further states that the Counsel stopped appearing in Court when his contract with the ministry of Justice expired as state Counsel. The Defendant again denied receiving any letters of protest neither from the American Embassy nor the Nigerian Embassy on the conduct of the case and puts the Plaintiff to the strictest proof. The Defendant contends that the Plaintiff’s assertions are mere speculations meant to draw the sympathy of the Court as he was accorded all the rights he deserved without hindrance during the course of his trial and that he was on bail throughout his trial. 11
