US-based Pata Saidykhan has called on Masanneh Kinteh to reject his tapping by President Adama Barrow as The Gambia’s new ambassador to China.
President Barrow has appointed Mr Kinteh as the country’s new ambassador to China, State House said on Friday.
It comes two days after he was removed as the head of the country’s army. The Gambia now has a new army chief in Major General Yankuba Drammeh.
Pata Saidykhan reacting to Kinteh’s appointment as the country new top diplomat in China, said: “From being removed as the country top military man to be immediately redeployed to serve in China at a time the world is quarantining itself from the birthday hub of CORONAVIRUS. Masanneh Kinteh must have done something so horrible or President Barrow must definitely not like him. Why must it be a Jarranka?”
