Former President Yahya Jammeh spoke again on Thursday but he embarrassed his interpreter for poor interpretation.
Jammeh touted his achievements in the healthcare sector in the 22 years he was in power during GDC’s rally at Buffer Zone.
Speaking in English and his remarks being interpreted in Wollof, the clueless interpreter drew Jammeh’s ire for poor interpretation.
“Within two weeks of the arrival of the UDP-led coalition government,” Jammeh said but the interpreter translated in Wollof to be: “He said within two weeks of the APRC-GDC-GAP-and-independents alliance.”
“Hey I did not say that. Look, what is wrong with you,” Jammeh lashed out but the poor interpreter responded: “You said within two weeks of the alliance.”
Jammeh fired back: “I did not say that. I said it was not up to two weeks of the coalition government headed by the two. They sacked all the Cuban doctors no sooner they came into office. They gave the Cubans one year and the Cubans left. They stole all the medicine and everyone got a private pharmacy.”
Jammeh then continued that any Gambians who votes for either President Barrow or UDP doesn’t want himself.
“Our country is backward. Today, over 50,000 primary school children have dropped out of school just this year,” Jammeh said.
The former dictator has been campaigning remotely for the opposition Mamma Kandeh with the hope the GDC leader will facilitate his return and safety when he wins tomorrow’s election.
