President Jammeh scared of checks and balances shuns former close buddies.
NAWEC,ELECTIONS FUNDING.
Now that Mamburay Njie also has started tasting the bitter pills of President Jammeh there are some of his sympathisers talking aloud.
He also has some of those he wronged in the past fuming in rage ready to pounce on him. These days Mamburay Njie should lie low and wait for the worse part of the hidden infighting within Banjul and Serekunda.
This is why he was being warned to stop what he was doing in the past but these goons never learn their lessons.
Why the former SG Mamburay Njie was ejected!
Mamburay a special envoy of APRC Candidate Mr Yahya Jammeh before the Presidential elections-to Taiwan,Gabon,Thailand and other undisclosed locations. Mr Njie was sent by his former boss President Jammeh to these destinations as a special envoy to raise funds for the man's re-election. Njie first rushed to his former place Taiwan where he calls his second home because he has been there as Ambassador during the peak days of Jammeh's "cash-diplomacy". Mr Njie it is reported came back with a package that left smiles on Jammeh's face for days.
Directly from Taiwan he flew through Thailand therefore stopped there to collect more 'booty' from more sources.
Mr Njie was also sent to Gabon on a similar mission. His trajet of fund raising missions was being followed by our sources with keen interest.
Of course when President Jammeh works on monetary projects with anyone he always wants to receive it all and swallow every bit.
Sources close to Jammeh have revealed that the bitter war between him and former SG Njie centers around the expenditures incurred after these funds were received. As usual they will deny but we are also bent on releasing more accurate details when challenged directly or indirectly.
Mamburay Njie has to be ready for a rough ride as far as living through the outcome of his past glory is concerned.
NAWEC-Mamburay Njie,Bai Jobe(his good friend) and other murky deals.
We all know that Mamburay Njie was the one who presided over the signing ceremony when NAWEC was handed over to private ownership. The million dollar question is...why the Secretary General was fired or romoved after what we all thought was meant to caption the ultimatum of a significant dossier like that of NAWEC?
Permanent Secretary ONE,TWO and THREE-Cleevages or infighting-too bad!
At the office of the President these days there are 3 different permanent secretaries. PS ONE used to be Mamburay Njie before he was appointed Secretary General. PS TWO was Cherno Joof a former senior official at the fisheries department,PS three was Mrs Harding the present Secretary General who has just replaced Mamburay Njie. After Mamburay was promoted a replacement PS Bai Jobe was added to the list.
Bai Jobe according to my source at the office of the President was the right hand of former SG Mamburay Njie. All dossiers that Mamburay handled before being promoted were automatically handed over to Bai including NAWEC. Bai was so instrumental in the process when NAWEC was being prepared for privatisation. My source this did not please seasoned officials like Mrs Harding.She was therefore pasted on every mind as Mamburay Njie's hidden rival. Of course President Jammeh uses such chances when he is angry with a someone and wants to replace that person. Jammeh likes replacing between he dislikes with anyone he thinks they had a beef with. Well knowing how President Jammeh operates he never trusted having Bai at the state house as well after SG Njie was relieved of his position. Both men were asked to leave. The same source also revealed that Bai Jobe is at the same time a relative of former NAWEC official Mr Jobe,who was detained at Mile two some weeks back charged with bogus econonic crimes.
Well Jobe of NAWEC has since been released on bail pending further directives from the Judiciary or the executive. No one should be surprised if his charges are stirred again.
In The Gambia we all know that the executive cares less about the judiciary so both of the Jobes and Njie should never rejoice over their present limited liberty. President Jammeh's moody nature can strike them at anytime from this second.
President Jammeh listens to Harry Sambou revokes Maba Jobe's appointment.
It is a well known fact that Harry Sambou and Maba Jobe are not the best of pals. Both men worked together in Nigeria.
Harry's target is to finish two men namely Samba Bah and Maba Jobe. He had worked with both men in Nigeria as a former NIA operative on the ground in Lagos. Both of them were his superiors in the diplomatic field.
He sees these men of being responsible of his sudden recall and firing from the civil service before he was reinstated as the NIA chief. As soon as Maba Jobe was appointed a week ago many people openly said that Harry would never watch that happen. This is why when Maba was fired after having as SOS Foreign Affairs only for 72 hours it was not a surprise to those who know whats going on behind the scenes. Maba is a daring person whereas Harry is a slimy crook who has done so much so in Lagos that he would not allow a guy like Maba come close to President Jammeh. Harry's own brother William John Joof is also not in talking terms with his old friend and pal Njogu Bah a former Ambassador. This source revealed to me that Njogu is an unlce of Maba Jobe. Indeed Bah was fired as permanent secretary about a year ago.This means around President Jammeh there is a serious and vicious circle of deep-rooted cleevages. I met a source today near the Printing department in Banjul,he revealed so much so about what is transpiring between these civil servants that I was so scared. Our country is yet to move on because some people are so petty and dangerous under a dictator with killer instincts. Maba Jobe should have known that he was never going to be excused by President Jammeh for having resigned before. Jammeh hated Maba Jobe after that resignation so much at least based on what my source told me near the printing department. Maba according to the same source also knows too much about the Abacha crude oil and other deals that were being conducted between Banjul and Abuja. Therefore Jammeh and his closest circle would not want the man near any influential diplomat at this stage. Particularly those from the USA and UK. This is what made Jammeh change his mind period.
The same source said that President Jammeh dragged the Dept of state for works and communications under him because he wants to milk these parastatals. Now that NAWEC has been privatised Jammeh has chosen to use these places as wells of fortune. Parastatals like GIA,PORTS AUTHORITY,GPTC, etc are part of this department. He did the same thing to Agriculture,from there to NAWEC now he is ready to bleed these organs to death! Of course when Jammeh is ready to do so he must have his own boys in key positions. He is indeed not so happy with those who facilitated the privatisation of NAWEC.In the open he says so but deep down he is so angry with them. Now that he is presiding over the DOS works and communications these infrastructures are going to crumble just like what he did to NAWEC.
