Gutter press Observer takes its turn in the dictatorship's hire and fire spree

Lamin M Dibba, a journalist working with the Banjul-based pro-government newspaper organ of the ruling APRC party, Daily Observer, has been reinstated for the second time in a year. Mr Dibba was earlier this year sacked with his colleague, Ebrima Jaw Manneh, by the newspaper for allegedly distorting the facts in their reportage of President Yahya Jammeh's witch-doctorial cure of HIV/Aids. The President who owns the paper and uses it as his mouthpiece, was said to be enraged following the publication of what he deemed as a ploy to undermine his 'mystical' ability. The two journalists were apparently left jobless but due to the timely intervention of Health Minister, Tamsir Mbowe who is a personal friend of Manneh, they were reinstated.

The Daily Observer have been so useless, demeaning, unprofessional, erratic and censored that they do not have enough readership and topics to write on that they are bent on attacking people who are proud to be exercising there freedom of Speech they have been forced to deny themselves. Here them say: “In the case of The Gambia, this facility is being widely abused by some of our compatriots in the diaspora, who have set up online newspapers, geared towards spreading hateful, malicious and negative propaganda against individuals and the state”.

Lamin Tunkara, Raleigh 

Go ahead Pa!!! And please be intimidated not by anyone and succumb not to any pressure from “Camp Bajinka” whose interest is to portray the Major as a victim deserving a second chance and forgiveness. Report as you see it fit and fair and if that means enlightening us about our current and/or former gov’t officials picking up trash at MacDonald’s, please bring it on because we are ready to take. If Mr. Major made it his business on the streets of New York talking about how corrupt and evil, the APRC GOV’T and Jammeh was, people will be listening to him. But he must also be ready to answer calls as to what part he played during his service to that gov’t. Tell him that making the remarks he is making I don’t care wherever he is, comes with a price. And that means he will be scrutinized. Do not expect an easy ride.
