After getting the bullet last July, Alpha Robinson turns down foreign service job offer

Alpha Robinson has turned down a new job offer by the Gambia government, according to a letter seen by The Fatu Network.

Mr Robinson was the managing director of National Water and Electricity Company but got sacked last July after just a little over a year in the role. No reason was given.

He was removed as head of NAWEC and quickly issued a spot in the foreign service.

However, in a letter to the permanent secretary at the Personnel Management Office on August 10, Mr Robinson turned down the offer of a job in the foreign service insisting it will not avail him the opportunity to have the impact he desires for The Gambia and Africa ‘given my professional background and experience’.
