British Philanthropist In Brikama Accused Of Alleged Pedophile Activities!!

Presence Of 12 Young Girls At Chris Allwright’s Sanchaba Home Raises Eyebrows in Brikama

“ He did extend financial help to our station. He single handedly renovated the station. Regarding the allegations of pedophile, we are yet to receive a formal complaint. We heard people making such allegations against Allwright in Brikama, but unless we received a formal complaint, we cannot do anything. Mind you, Allwright is very close to the Inspector General. If those on the top are benefiting from Allwright’s financial help, do you think it’s safe to invite Allwright for questioning? My brother, our seniors are corrupt and there is nothing we can do on this case. Those expected to investigate suspects are now dining with suspects. Do you foresee any justice in this locality? Why are they compromising their police duties, just for few hundreds.?” said an official of the Brikama Police.

……Almost All Students Failed Their Petroleum Degree Program

By Our Western Region, Chief Correspondent Wise Man

Gambia’s President Yahya Jammeh is threatening to suspend scholarships for Gambian students, studying petroleum in Taiwan, following the dismal academic performance of the first batch of students sent to Taipei, to read petroleum, the Freedom Newspaper can authoritatively report. Mr. Jammeh who is said to be very angry at this hour, was reported to have threatened to cancel scholarships for Gambian petroleum students, who our sources say are not faring well in University. Most of the students were said to have failed most of their course subjects. The students were given an extension by the University to improve on their academic shortcomings, or risked being kicked out of school. The students “poor performance” compelled The Gambian leader to dispatch his Press Secretary Ebrima JT Kujabi to Taiwan to talk to the students on what our sources described as the “ regrettable state of affairs.” Press Secretary JT Kujabi informed the students on arrival in Taipei, about the President’s stern warnings for the need to improve on their studies, or otherwise all scholarships would be cancelled.

Gambia Arab Islamic Bank Burnt Down By Disgruntled Cashier(s)- Reveals An Anonymous source!!

…..“One thing I will like you to know is that almost 85% of our Bank Cashiers in all the banks in The Gambia, are paying money due to float shortages or overpayments, which they usually used as a back up or excuses, but the real truth is the poverty, low wages and the country’s ailing economic problems. If you could remember the first fire was just few weeks before Tobaski ,when some cashiers were needing cash to solve their economic needs.” said our source.

An anonymous source reaching the Freedom Newspaper, says the Arab Islamic Bank, must have been burnt down by disgruntled cashiers, who faces daily reprisals, coaching and financial exploitations from their seniors. Bank cashiers, who had financial shortages, in their daily transactions, often have their salaries deducted, coached and in some instances fired from their jobs, the Freedom Newspaper was told.

Wednesday, February 27, 2008 (929 reads)

I and the Gambian people have seen your so-called development you claim to have done and still doing around your empire in Kanilai. And we do agree when you say Gambia is developing because to you, there is no difference between Gambia and Kanilai or Yahya and Gambia. They are all one and the same.We are not jealous but we want to know who financed the building of the the mansion you live in, in Kanilai? It is rather unfortunate that we have a coward of a tail of state ; for to be a head, you have to be in the fore
front and allow the people to be in charge of their country.

No Justice For Carnegie, As Long As Judge Na Ceesay-Sallah Wadda Handles The Case- Freedom Editor Tells British Consultancy Firm!!

“The Chief Justice of The Gambia, Abdou Karim Savage, a former state lawyer, himself, has been mandated by law to assign political and criminal cases to judges. This case, in question has been assigned to Na Ceesay-Sallah Wadda. She is pretty new in The Gambian Bench. She served barely less than two months on the Bench. Na Ceesay has never been a serious law advocate, throughout her legal career with the state law office- known as the Attorney General Chambers. Coupled with her lack of experience in the Bench, and also a former Government lawyer, one is reasonably compelled to believe that she might not dispense justice in this matter. Her credibility as an impartial judge, is questionable under the circumstances.” Editor Mbai tells a UK based Consultancy, Firm during an interview yesterday. Editor M’Bai was asked to provide the firm with an expert account about Gambia’s case with Carnegie, an Australian mining firm, whose General Manager is currently standing economic crime trial in The Gambia. Below is the full text of Editor M’Bai’s statement and the communications he exchanged with the firm. Please read on…

Final Take on Sam Sarr, Mathew & Ebou Jallow-Saul Khan Writes!

Final Take on Sam Sarr, Mathew & Ebou Jallow

By Saul Saidy Khan

After reading Sam Sarr’s “…Last Nail…” piece, I was beside myself with laughter. So it’s not what Sam wrote that is the problem, it is my lack of depth which hampered my ability to comprehend what Sam wrote that is the problem. Now I see. My only request for Brother Sam is for him to confine his writings to a Distro that includes only Deep Thinkers like him and Mathew Jallow. I believe that would save us all the grief of having Shallow Thinkers like me and Suntu Touray who do not understand that Sam Sarr writes in parables challenging him unnecessarily. Apparently whatever one reads in Sam Sarr’s writing is only a façade to something more profound. What do I know? Now I feel like a cheat for not spending valuable time catching up with my kids who just returned from a three weeks vacation in Gambia. What would life be as a Gambian if we didn’t have literal Houdini characters humoring us?
