GRTS chief Abdou Touray removed

Director General of Gambia Radio and Television Services Abdou Touray has been removed as head of GRTS.

Touray has been head of GRTS since Ebrima Sillah was tapped for minister of information and communication infrastructure in July 2018. His sacking emerged on Friday.

He has been redeployed to the ministry of information as adviser to the minister. His advisor role will take effect on March 1.

Former US Embassy official Malick Jeng is said to have been lined to replace him. Jeng’s last known employment was at the Gambia High Commission in London where he worked as tourism destination manager.
