The Proprietor of Mobicel Multimedia Telecom Company, Bala Jassey has said that the former President Yahya Jammeh has apologized to him three times at a meeting at Kanilai.
Mr Jassey made these revelations amongst others at the commission of inquiry probing into the financial dealings of the former President Yahya Jammeh and his close associates at the Djembe Beach Hotel, Kololi.
“The former president stood and apologized to me three good times in the presence of everyone,” Bala Jassey said.
“Jammeh said he was misled by the minutes given to him about me,” he added.
The Mobicel Proprietor said he was invited to a meeting with the former president through a telephone call by the former Secretary General, Momodou Sabally at Kanilai, the former president’s home village.
Jassey who went to the meeting with his Swiss counterpart said when they arrived at Kanilai they found Momodou Sabally sitting next to the former president with General Saul Badjie and former Gamtel Managing Director, Babucarr Sanyang. He said the former president wanted MGI to takeover the International Gateway from Tel Company.
“The former president instructed Sabally to terminate the services of Tel Company as soon as possible,” he said.
However, he said the Agreement with MGI was signed but he does not know when, where or who the signatories were.
When asked about his relations to General Saul Badjie which he said was established through a telephone conversation, he said he does not introduced General Badjie to the MGI Manager.
“I have never introduced General Badjie to MGI Manager,” he asserted.
Jassey said it was General Badjie who took him to the then Secretary General, Momodou Sabally for him to install a Cisco Wireless for the former First Lady.
A folder containing documents relating to Mobicel Multimedia Telecom Company was admitted and marked as exhibits.
When questioned about the management service agreement between Mobicel and MGI Company, his respond was that most of their correspondence were made through Email. Apart from the invoices he could not provide any information on the services offered to MGI Company.
Meanwhile, Mr Jassey was ordered to provide proofs of his qualifications before his next appearance.
