Mary Sey

Mary Sey (1952–2024) was a Gambian judge. First female judge in The Gambia, Justice of the Supreme Court of The Gambia (2017–2024), also served as High Court Judge in Sierra Leone, Justice of the Supreme Court of Vanuatu (2014–2017) where she presided over landmark bribery convictions of 14 MPs. Quotes You betrayed that trust and in the cause of doing that you undermined the very institution that it was your duty to uphold. Sentencing 14 MPs convicted of bribery in Vanuatu, 2015 I have seen The Gambia encouraging and educating women, and automatically I have seen the country educating everybody. I don't agree with that because I'm a woman and I have led in different ways. I have stood for elections and won two elections. So I'm not waiting for anybody to come and give me a job or to come and fix me up before I can be up there. Justice must be firm but fair, open-minded yet courageous in doing what is right. The dignity of the office must be carried with grace and strength.
