Sainabou Martin Sonko has said she has been barred from entering KMC for a second time as she arrived at KMC Monday to report to work.
Mrs Martin Sonko is fighting for her name after allegations she swindled 12 million dalasis. She denies the charge.
The KMC then moved to suspend her but the ministry of local government has said her suspension is illegal and has started making moves including getting police deployed for her to return to work.
Mrs Martin Sonko told Gambian Talents Promotion just under an hour ago: “We came and found a barricade and the municipal police said we will not enter. I communicated with the ministry to let them know they have still not allowed us. Because this is not the first time.
“Ministry initially advised we should be allowed to come to work since the way they suspended us was illegal. So the ministry advised that we should come to work so that they can investigate to know who is right and who is wrong. But they are not allowing us.”
Scores of KMC staff stood in front the KMC compound and shouted ‘our money’ as matters degenerated. But Mrs Martin Sonko said rhe protesting staff are not members of the staff welfare and they not contributing to the welfare.
“They are part of the Mballit Project. So they are just using them,” she said.
