Press Jagne, Sara Janha & Chongan named in amalgamation debacle

By An Ex-Genarme officer

Dear Editor,
Thank you for the space to contribute my quota towards a better Gambia for all Gambians and residents of The Gambia.
Anything going on in The Gambia today whether good or bad, the architects are Former President Jawara, former secretary-general Sara Janha and former Inspector-Generalof Police Press Jagne. Because the trio succeded in dismantling the Gendarmerie without any just reason. The only Force in the country at the time the Army feared in case of any move to overthrow the government. They knew this during their first mutiny by the peace-keepers who returned from Liberia. The current president was among the Gendarmerie contigent that surpressed the mutiny. I remembered when the Senegambia Confederation broke down and the Senegalese security forces were leaving, the last Senegalese Gendarmerie Commander Col. Sulayman Sarr told the former president that he should never allow the Gendarmerie to go. He knew the threat of the Army without the Gendarmerie.
