Freedom Newspaper Mail Bag What our dear readers say today!

Pa Nderry Once again I am happy to read such a very well written article  about Saja Taal. The whole story seems to reliable. What worries me most is how could Saja associated himself with a Government that is currently PERSECUTING his own relative- Ms Maimuna Taal - The Former Director General of Gambia Civil Aviation Authority. Saja Taal is definitely living on borrowed time. I can't foresee Saja Taal getting another important job from Jammeh.

From my observation, the post of Managing Director for the Daily Observer is normally awarded to failed supporters of the APRC. Lest we forget the likes of Sariang Ceesay and Buba Baldeh, where are these people ?? Are they still within the APRC heavy weights??? Based on Saja Taal, one would have expected to be elevated as an nominated MP but no, the guy is going  the BOY BOY ASSIGNMENT at the OBSERVER.

Dear Editor,

 I was surprised to have read the article you carried on Saja Taal, the allegations in that article are very serious. My reaction to this article has nothing or no connection to Mr. Taal. My concern is the lack of professionalism and total disrespect in the contents of the story which are totally based on hear say and third party information.

Bringing up issues such as growing up poor in the streets of banjul and running around without shoes, almost at the brink of starving to death and describing Mr. Taal as reckless, untidy, criminal, uncivilized and not brushing his teeth has nothing to do with the professional capacity of a man nor the principle and ethics of journalism.

If this writer grew up in Banjul, then he must know that the majority of us who grew up in Banjul walked those very streets without shoes as kids. My own father walked to school in the streets of Banjul and Basse without shoes. How then is this supposed to affect or have an impact on a man's education or intellectual capacity? What Mr. Taal had his degree in is not an issue, besides have we forgotten that Tourism is the back bone of The Gambia's economy. Calling Mr. Taal an Idiot and talking about his torn pants and not wear under pant is total disrespect and has nothing to do with journalism. It's all just totally unprofessional and as editor you must edit the contents of any article before posting them. failure to do this would also reflect and affect your professionalism and credibility as you are responsible for what is in the contents of your publications I thank you for giving me this space.
