Gambia News : British govt funds first Gambia bar week
The Legal Capacity Building Programme Phase II, a United Kingdom government-funding project is bankrolling the first-ever, week-long programme of activities of the Gambia Bar Association (GBA).
The event will feature activities such as seminars, panel discussions, lectures, and a press conference.
Unveiling the programme on Monday, the Assistant Secretary General of the association, Neneh Cham Chongan, said the bar would also hold its annual general meeting on Friday and the annual bar dinner on Saturday.
Mrs. Amie Bensouda, the President of the Association, responding to questions, said the week-long event would be attended by other internationally-renowned and respected Gambian lawyers and legal experts like Mr. Pa Edi Faal, an international criminal law practitioner, based in the US, Cheron Jallow QC, and Fatou Bom Bensouda, among others.
Bensouda said most of the challenges facing the profession would be tabled during the programme, adding that the bar was facing many challenges, one of which was capacity building,.
On the issue of trial without representation, Bensouda said the bar needed to be consulted on such cases, noting that if lawyers were not consulted on such cases, they would not be involved in the defence.
