Mr. Barrow lauded the initiative as his own, a bold move to put a stranglehold on crime and control the streets by sheer force and presence. But even as the leader of the nation patted himself on the back and preened in front of the cameras, logical minds maintained that Jaguar could be nothing more than a stopgap measure, a finger in a dyke with a thousand cracks. Political observers speculated that Jaguar

Bar Association Blasts Barrow

It may have taken an inordinate amount of time and an exceptional display of 'unseemly' behavior by the head of government, but the Bar Association came to life this week with a fairly withering list of resolutions aimed at Mr. Barrow and stemming from his blatant move to remove the Chief Justice from the bench, as has been declared by the leader of the nation, not a day after his 65th birthday. The intent of the Prime Minister had been evident for some weeks now, but that word was given flesh, so to speak, at a recent meeting between Mr. Barrow and Chief Justice Conteh.

In a letter to the Governor-General advising of his demitting the Bench, the Chief Justice writes that while he will attain his 65th birthday on August 5th, there are provisions in the Constitution which provide for a continuance of service. These provisions have been utilized in the recent past, wrote the Chief Justice,
