UDP spokesman Almamy Taal has said he cannot understand claims he attempted to take his kids out of mandatory quarantine.
Reports abounded online on Wednesday the top UDP official attempted to take his kids home as they were being booked for quarantine.
“I did not take any of them, they are still in quarantine. I really just don’t understand how these kinds of stories get around. It’s all completely malicious and it has no base,” Mr Taal told The Fatu Network.
He added: “I was following them to their final destination, that’s the instruction I got from the medical and health people. So around 3am around the Duplex Junction and where they are quarantined this is where the confusion was.
“The driver of the bus did not want to go to Metzy where they were supposed to go down. But eventually he was willing to go and when we got to Metzy, there was some water around the hotel but the driver refused to go through that water because he was afraid his bus will get stuck.
“So I went to talk to the quarantine people at the hotel. The policeman there came and took the stuff of my mother-in-law and the boys. That’s the long and short of it.”
