Vice President Isatou Njie Saidy And Three Other Ministers Reinstated!

Gambia’s President Yahya Jammeh has reinstated four senior officials of his administration after dissolving his cabinet last week. The reinstated officials include: Gambia’s Vice President Isatou Njie Saidy, Interior Minister Ousman Sonko, Tourism Minister Fatou Mass Jobe,  and Finance Minister Mamburay Njie. The remaining Ministers are yet to know their fate.

The move followed a constitutional mandate that gives the Head of State the mandate to appoint a new cabinet following his fourth term landslide electoral victory.

It would be recalled that shortly after dissolving cabinet, the President thanked his Ministers for their patriotism and dedication to duty over the years. Mr. Jammeh has been in power for the past seventeen years.  He came to power through a coup in July of 1994.
