The National Assembly Member for Wuli West Constituency, Honourable Sidia Jatta, has discouraged fellow politicians to do away with politics of deception and hypocrisy should be set aside in politics.

“They have forgotten that I (Sida Jatta) was onetime the PDOIS presidential candidate for 3 times. The interview I had in 1992 is still with someone who is here present. He (the person) said he is in doubt simply because since 1992 up till now our words never changed. Our words will remain unchanged because what the words are meant for still did not change. PDOIS will not change because the system has not changed,” said the veteran politician cum linguist.

Honorable Jatta who is the Chairman of PDOIS Central Committee said the words of the party would remain unchanged because the system has not yet changed. He made these remarks recently while addressing the crowd in his community.

“PDOIS is not here to deceive or fool anybody. We are not here to promise you anything. We do not have anything and The Gambia is not mine so how can I give something to someone. The Gambia is not mine and I did not want it to be mine, so how would I pull out my money to give it to someone to vote for me. You see people always said PDOIS never do this and that we refused ourselves to the core and we wouldn’t do it,” he stressed.
