Breaking News:Following Worsening Health Conditions, OJ flown to the UK for treatment!!
Following Worsening Health Conditions, OJ flown to the UK for treatment!!
We
report why sick opposition leaders avoid Jammeh's hired Cuban
doctors-The lack of trust and possibility of using such doctors for
vicious activities...
 Kebba Jallow Says OJ was responding to Treatment.
Following his worsening health conditions, NADD official Omar Amadou Jallow
was flown to the United Kingdom for further treatment, the Freedom
Newspaper was told during the weekend. Mr.Jallow a former Agriculture
Minister in the first Republic and also popular MP for Serre-Kunda was
recently hit by a sudden illness. This comes shortly after the
defection of his close associate,friend and brother Ganji Touray to the
Ruling APRC. Ganji who used to spent most his precious time at OJ'
PIpeLine Home was said to have been induced by the Ruling Party with a
Pajero and a substantial cash amounting to millions to pledge his
allegiance for the Jammeh government. While others blamed OJ'S sickness
to Ganji's sudden change of political heart, observers said Jallow was
becoming old and needs some rest for now. Ganji Touray was OJ's most
trusted aide and was often seen around the leading politician.

close to the Jallow family said OJ was recovery to treatment.
Mr.Jallow's absence from the political scene will high sense of relief
to Gambia's President Yahya Jammeh. OJ is said to be one of his arch
critics who is widely listened to by voters during elections campaign
trail. Mr.Jallow is not only charismatic, but also vocal. His absence
will no doubt be felt by his colleagues at NADD. With barely few weeks
to the country's polls, Jallow is currently placed under doctor's
monitoring. It is not yet clear if he will be allowed by his doctor to
engage in active politics at this hour. What is evident is that OJ is
home sick as he oftens said he misses the political race.
Gambians
should not lost track of the fact that President Jammeh is good at
issuing "Sada, Sarah" known as charity. He will do whatever it takes
to ensure that his critics like OJ are out of the political race. While
we do not want to point accusing fingers at this hour, we can report
with certainty that Jammeh is happy about OJ'S absence from home. They
are even praying for the politician not to return until after the
elections. What a wicket President.
Why are government critics afraid to go to RVH for treatment?
Many
government critics are afraid to go to government hospitals these days
if they are sick. They go to West Field clinic, a privately owned hospital.
They have some valid reasons not to go to the RVH. One, they believed
that the state might used the doctors to inject them with chemicals
that will kill them. Two, they think that at the RVH, they will not be
given good treatment since they arre members of the opposition. The
Medical Research Council, Ndemban Clinic and Palmer of West Field
usually take care of such patients. To some extent, these patients are
very right. The President is capable of using his Cuban and other
foreign doctors to prematurely kill our political heavy weights. The
President should be God fearing and leave our opposition leaders alone.
Trying to use foreign doctors to harm them will not help anyway. Such
moves are unGambian. We have reached a stage where opposition
supporters and their officials are not comfortable going to government
hospitals. Jammeh should come in and allay our fears. If things were
okay in the country, OJ wouldn't have been flown to the UK. There are
qualified doctors at the RVH to take care of him. But people don't
trust these doctors. Jammeh created such a mistrust as he screens
people who works for him.
Meanwhile, Kebba Jallow former KMC
Chairman told the Freedom Newspaper that OJ was indeed flown to the UK
for further treatment. "He is recovering very well. In fact I spoke to
him few minutes ago, while he was taking a walk. He is doing pretty
well."Jallow told the Freedom Newspaper.
