| Dennis Sandy: End of the Road |
The rationale behind the dismissal of the minister remains unclear, but there are speculations that the action could not be unconnected to the doomed relationship between the All People's Congress (APC) party and the People's Movement for Democratic Change (PMDC) party.
Dennis Sandy was one of the PMDC members appointed by the APC to serve as minister following the 2007 election victory of the APC, which the PMDC greatly contributed to.
He was first appointed as Minister of Lands, Country Planning and the Environment, but was later shifted from that Ministry to the Ministry of Social Welfare, Gender and Children's Affairs in a December 2010 cabinet reshuffle.
The dismissal of Sandy on Friday has send shock waves to other PMDC members serving in various government positions.
it is envisaged that more sacking of PMDC members in government will take place in the coming weeks.
Dennis Sandy is known to be a major ally of Charles Margai, the PMDC Leader, and his dismissal did not come as a surprise to many, following recent outburst of Charles Margai against the APC.
