"Gambia News : Gambia's state prosecutors undergo training to enhance performance"

"Gambia's Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Edward Anthony Gomez, has said that no society can move properly forward without justice because justice delivery was of paramount importance in nation building.

'The legal profession requires continuous learning and the law also changes to keep abreast with the society,' he told a cross section of state prosecutors at the opening of a training workshop, organized by the Legal Capacity Building Programme (LCBP) Phase 2 with funding from the United Kingdom Department for International Development (DfID).

According to Justice Gomez, the training, on Monday is Banjul, the Gambian capital, is meant to enhance and improve the knowledge of state counsels as their profession requires continuous learning.

He hailed the efforts of the LCBP and the DfID as good partners with the Ministry of Justice, stressing that the prosecutors should be able to improve on their performance after the workshop.

'Make the best use of the training you are getting toay,' Gomez also told the prosecutors, adding that 'with such trainings giants strides have been made and will continue to be made in Gambia's justice delivery system.'

Sanna Dahaba, the project co-ordinator of the LCBP Phase 2, said the training was very important to the Gambian judiciary as the trainees were deeply involved in the profession.

Dahaba pledged that the LCBP would continue to do more to meet the demands of the Justice ministry.

The training brought together senior state counsels, the Chief Justice as a resource person, and the Solicitor General and Legal Secretary."
