The head of media and communications at the Constitutional Review Commission has announced he is stopping commenting on the National Assembly’s debate, hours after some MPs accused him of being part of those that have been writing unpleasant comments about them.
MPs such as Alhagie Jawara and Billay Tunkara lashed out at Marenah on Monday as they frowned at Gambians online that are advocating for all the MPs to vote in favour of the draft constitution.
“To my dismay I have seen unpleasant comments even by the press secretary of the CRC making unpleasant comments about members, expressing his dissatisfaction and other things,” Billay Tunkara said Monday.
Marenah posted to his Facebook early Tuesday: “Going forward, I will stop commenting on the current National Assembly debate on the constitutional bill not because I’m scared but for the sake of my Institution, #CRC2020
“As some of you may know, I became the subject of debate among some MPs who branded me as part of group of Gambians putting pressure on them to pass the new constitution bill.
“I want to categorically state that as a professional, I will never interfere in the work of one of the most important organs of government and any such claims are totally misinformed.”
