JAMMEH “SHOCKED” BY BANJUL’S BAD SANITATION
Surprise Visit Ends With Shock, And Outrage!!!
JAMMEH GAVE ULTIMATUM TO CITY OFFICIALS
By Staff Reporter Bakary Gibba, Banjul
President Yahya Jammeh yesterday made a surprising visit to the Capital City Banjul, and the Kanifing Municipality, but was the least impressed by the environmental sanitation in the two localities. Mr. Jammeh was greeted by an appalling drainage system in both the KMC, and Banjul—which apparently angered the touring President. Jammeh has given an ultimatum to Mayor Samba Faal, and KMC’s Yankuba Colley to fix the problem of poor drainage, and bad environmental sanitation in these localities, if they want to keep their jobs. The Gambian leader said his administration would not tolerate such deplorable sanitation, which poses a great risk to the health being of Gambians.

By Staff Reporter Peter Mendy, Banjul
Addressing the newly six hired Gambian judges Monday at the State House in Banjul, Gambian President Yahya Jammeh said his administration attaches great importance on the need for “timely and speedy” administration of justice. The President urges the new judges to help clear the backlog of cases—currently at the judiciary, especially on matters relating to murder, and drug trafficking. Mr. Jammeh said the judges are expected to be loyal to the state, and are also duty bound to dispense justice without fair, or favor. He said the judges should endeavor to live up to their oath of office, and allegiance—pointing out that Gambians expect them to deliver the goods in the arena of jurisprudence.

MARIE SAINE’S PRIVATE MEETING WITH AMNESTY!!!
Details From Geneva Meeting Emerged
Is The NIA Watching Minister Marie Saine????
Justice Minister Marie Firdaus Saine held a private meeting with Amnesty International staffers, who attended the just concluded UN Geneva Rights conference, following numerous excuses of busy schedules. The Minister finally accorded audience to the Amnesty officials, but sources reaching this paper say Saine insists that the meeting must be witnessed by her entire delegation—for fear of being implicated by the secret NIA agents, Freedom Newspaper’s Weekend Edition can reveal. That request was granted without rancor, as Amnesty was only interested about hearing Gambia’s side of the story on alleged gross rights abuses perpetrated by the Jammeh administration.

ARREST BUMSTERS –JAMMEH
As Gambia Assures Tourism Free Hassle For Tourists
By Staff Reporter Abdou Jatta, Banjul
Gambia’s President Yahya Jammeh has instructed the country’s security forces assigned to the Tourism Development Area—known as (TDA) to arrest, and prosecute beach boys (Bumsters) who are in the business of harassing visiting tourists. Mr. Jammeh was addressing tourism officials, and local stakeholders during a meeting—aimed at making the nation’s sandy beaches a safe place for tourists. The Gambian leader said The Gambia has earned the reputation of being Africa’s Smiling Coast, and therefore urged law enforcement agents to jealously safeguard such a national glory. He said the beaches should be free of bumsters. This he said, would enhance tourist confidence in the nation’s quest to attract high spending visitors.

The Road to Self Determination and Independence On the 18 February celebrations—Part 2
By Halifa Sallah, Banjul
It goes without saying that those who took over the country in 1965 had the task to build a state which could guarantee the general welfare of the people as manifested in its civil, political, economic, social and cultural aspects. For 45 years since the declaration of Independence, it is sad to inform the Gambian people that over eighty percent of our annual development budget has always been derived from loans and grants. The bulk of schools, roads, hospitals, airports, generators, agricultural projects and so on and so forth have been made available through loans and grants.
