Government’s row with Lovette Jallow continues as it denies collaboration claims

The government has dismissed claims it is working with Lovette Jallow and her Action for Humanity NGO over the repatriation of distressed Gambian women in Lebanon.

Lovette Jallow had last week claimed the government has agreed to work with her in getting the women back to The Gambia.

“The Government of The Gambia is neither working with her nor working against her,” spokesperson Saikou Ceesay told The Standard.

He refused to give any further details, The Standard reported further.

It comes a day after the women accused the government through its consulate in Beirut of making them sign a fake declaration in their bid to return home. The foreign ministry spokesperson Saikou Ceesay ignored requests for comment from The Fatu Network.
