Madi Jobarteh has boldly said he’s expecting a hiring of former president Yahya Jammeh by President Adama Barrow, as he lashed out at the Gambian leader over his persistent removal of officials.
The Barrow administration has become notorious in removing officials and assigning them fresh roles, the recent one which took place last week hitting 12 officials.
Madi Jobarteh said in an opinion piece today: “For example instead of weeding out all of those Yaya Jammeh enablers from our public service, Barrow decided to retain them. He brought back Yaya Jammeh’s key Cabinet ministers into his Cabinet. He brought back or maintained Yaya Jammeh’s top security chiefs in our security institutions. He kept or brought back top Yaya Jammeh officials into our parastatals and other state institutions. He went for Yaya Jammeh politicians to bring them into State House for his politics.
“Therefore, is Barrow not telling us that Yaya Jammeh is ok? Will we be surprised if this evening he also brings back Yaya Jammeh and Isatou Njie Saidy to make them Co Vice Presidents!? I will not be the least surprised! Am expecting that.”
