1st Lady Zeinab Suma Jammeh left for Morocco a couple days ago.
This time around I have been provoked to react in an unprecedented way. I cannot simply understand why President Jammeh and his cohorts are not accepting the fact that the details being published are from his own men and women within the Presidency....?
Has the First Lady the State House in protest
following Jammeh's new wife?
First Lady Zeinab Jammeh flies to Morocco for unknown reasons!
As we are piecing this together Lady Zeinab is in Morocco. She flew there with the Protocol of the Vice President of The Republic Isatou Njie Saidy. The name of the Protocol officer is Mr Juma Janneh. Officially it is one Mrs Fatou Njie-Hydara who serves as the Protocol of the first lady. During this trip Mrs Njie-Hydara could not go because she is on confinement leave in the USA. Fatou Njie-Hydara is married to one NIA Officer called Hydara(first name withheld) can be released when the need arises. More clues on Hydara. He used to serve as First Secretary at the embassy of Gambia in Rabat Morocco. Now Mr Hydara is back to base. I do see him around town. He is one of those 'Maasaalah' false Islamists.
There are other Hydaras at the NIA ie Messrs Aziz Hydara from Georgetown and Mbemba Hydara from Baddibu Kerewan. Mbemba is the head of the NIA analysis unit.
Where is Chief of Protocol Alhaji Ceesay?
The questioned asked does not mean I do not know where Ceesay is... This question was coming from fans and other sources for a while. All I can say is that Alhaji Ceesay has been attached to the AU Bureau for now. He is part of the team working on the Protocol arrangements of the visiting AU heads of state. Mr Ceesay prior to being posted to the AU bureau in Banjul was assigned to serve the First Lady pending the return of Fatou Njie. This raised eye brows in our offices here. How could a chief of protocol be assigned to do so where his assistants are? Worst of all Babucarr Jobarteh who used to serve the Vice President has been posted to Protocol President Jammeh. Babucarr Jobarteh is someone I see almost everyday. He talks more than a Radio Gambia or Syd.
Sure President Jammeh has received someone many officials here would not have wanted near them. I do not have anything against Jobarteh am simply relaying the feelings of some of the senior officials he has been working with.
Juma Janneh the one who traveled with the First Lady used to be an NIA officer until when he resigned(?) according to what he told me some months back at the airport.
Indonesian Cooks,Waitresses,Servers and Moroccon household workers.
For those Gambians abroad or those who do not know what obtains behind the State house gates am pleased to share these details with them. It is our national coffers that are being used to pay these workers therefore we need to know a lot about them. As at now there 5 Indonesians working in the State house. These Indonesians are cooks,servers and waitresses of President Jammeh. The nanny of Myriam Jammeh the daughter of the President is also an Indonesian. Prior to hiring her services Myriam had a Philipino nanny. This girl has left because she was accused of certain dirty things. Dirty things between her and who? We will reveal that later as times goes on. The Moroccans working at the State house are responsible of cleaning the inner part of the Presidential palace. They wear black and white uniforms during duties. These are the people trusted by our President not us the citizens. He does not trust being served food and water by Gambians. Any person who disputes these facts can come to Banjul or conduct a thorough research on his or her own right from this moment.
Talking about Lady Zeinab Suma Jammeh is not a passion it is a state matter.
A couple of weeks back this paper reported issues around the marital status between the President and his wife. There are some of his blind fanatics who wanted to burn the Gambia down because of these inside details. These fanatics do not understand what transparency means. They do not understand what being a social watch dog means. These fanatics enjoy reading about the stories on the families of neighbouring Presidents but they do not want to hear anything about President Jammeh himself. There is no President who is immune to such observations or criticisms especially a ruthless President like Alhaji Yahya Jammeh.
How many of our local parents has President Jammeh been insulting since 1994? Have these fanatics forgotten when President Jammeh was parading the secrets of former Lady Chilel Jawara on the former UPFRONT newspaper? Have they forgotten when President Jammeh stood on the Gambia Television asking Gambians who believe that he was eunoch or impotent to bring their mothers for a trial? Have they forgotten when President Jammeh was bashing Basse people my own region calling them 'players' or 'play boy' actors and actresses? President Jammeh is not even receiving back a quarter of his own insults. Everything being said about his marital status is linked to his position period. This is why his wife is called the First Lady. She should be ready to be the first one for the good not for the bad. If him the President and her want to be seen as role models they should fit the cap otherwise let them pack and leave the kitchen.
