Hussein Thomasi appointed as Gambia’s new solicitor general after Cherno Marenah’s offloading

Ministry of Justice adviser Hussein Thomasi has been appointed the nation’s new solicitor general, a day after the sacking of Cherno Marenah.

Thomasi has been an adviser at the ministry since the days of former Justice Minister Abubacarr Tambadou.

His appointment as the nation’s new solicitor general has been confirmed by government spokesperson Ebrima Sankareh in a statement.

It comes after longtime staff Cherno Marenah was removed and shipped into the foreign service “to serve as Deputy Head of Mission in the Gambian mission in Turkey”.
