BRIKAMA COUNCIL CEO CLASHES WITH PARTY MILITANTS!!!

By Wise Man

A brawl ensued between the Chief Executive officer of the Brikama Area Council Gidda Jallow and some members of the July 22^Nd Movement Action Group yesterday. Mr. Jallow refuses to okay D40,000 payment request from the July 22^Nd Movement Action group for the purchase of “ Green Uniforms” for the Movement. Even though his boss Chairman Sunkari Badjie authorizes the disbursement of the funds, Gidda Jallow declined the transactions, citing the potential economic loss the Council might suffer due to such un-reconciled cash issuances. The July 22^ND members later went wild, as they openly curse out the Brikama Area Council CEO. Officials from the Governor’s office later came to restore sanity at the council.

Mr. Jallow insists that under his watch there wouldn’t be no cash disbursement without accountability. He was confronted by a group led by Lamin Kulo Bojang, Chairman of the July 22^Nd Movement in Brikama. Bojang insists that they needed the said money in order to buy uniforms to welcome the President during his meet the people’s tour. But Jallow says he cannot approve the said request as there was no budget set aside for such expenses. He also wondered what precedence the July 22^nd Movement wants to set in Birkama, arguing that the opposition might also turn around ask for the same financial gesture. Consequently, he disapproves the request.
