"Partisan Pen: Exposing the Political Influence Within Journalism's Inner Circles" and "Party Politics Pose Press Predicament
In light of recent events, I, as the Media and Communication Secretary of NPP, feel compelled to address the irresponsible and biased journalism practiced by What's On-Gambia. Today's post accusing the government of misusing taxpayers' money on luxury items is yet another example of their unethical practices.
Let me remind the people of The Gambia of an incident that occurred on the 30th of May 2023, where I personally came under a vicious attack by the same platform. False allegations were made against me, suggesting that I was involved in criminal activities on behalf of His Excellency President Barrow. These baseless accusations included claims of receiving extravagant perks such as a palatial house and a multi-million dalasi car, as well as falsely accusing me of hacking.
This calculated campaign of bullying was designed to tarnish my reputation and standing within society. This very bullying and online attacks are done under the watchful of its proprietor Mr. Alieu Khan living and enjoying the freedom of the west. However, I refuse to let such malicious attacks go unaddressed. Journalism is a noble profession that should uphold the highest standards of integrity and objectivity. It is imperative that we protect the integrity of journalism by holding unscrupulous individuals and platforms accountable for their actions.
Unfortunately, the targeting did not stop with me. My wife, who has no involvement in politics, was also subjected to similar unfounded attacks on social media platforms. This demonstrates the lengths to which these unscrupulous actors will go to spread falsehoods and sow discord.
We must recognize that unscrupulous journalism poses a grave threat not only to individuals but also to the fabric of our society. It has the potential to sow seeds of division, spread misinformation, and undermine trust in our institutions. Therefore, it is incumbent upon all of us to stand against such practices and uphold the principles of ethical journalism.
Let it be known that we will not tolerate these attacks, and justice will prevail. We must collectively work to ensure that journalism remains a force for good, and that those who engage in unethical practices are held accountable for their actions.

Unmasking the Truth: The Battle Against Biased Journalism in Gambia’s Media Landscape. "Partisan Pen: Exposing the Political Influence Within Journalism's Inner Circles" and "Party Politics Pose Press Predicament: A party executive member-Turned-Facebook Editor's Blatant Bias that Sparks Media Integrity Crisis".
As the Communication wing of our party, I must emphasize the critical role that a vibrant media plays in the development and progress of any nation. A free and independent press serves as the cornerstone of democracy, ensuring transparency, accountability, and the dissemination of vital information to the public.
However, it is imperative to address the issue of bias and unfair criticism within the media landscape. While constructive criticism is essential for a healthy democracy, when media outlets resort to bullying and unfair attacks, they undermine the very principles they are meant to uphold.
The editorial board of some media who has been consistently known for their blatant bias and unfair treatment of the government. It is unacceptable for a media platform to have deep affiliations with political entities that compromise its independence and integrity.
We firmly believe in the importance of a fourth estate that is independent, impartial, and dedicated to serving the public interest. Media outlets should adhere to ethical standards and strive for fairness and objectivity in their reporting.
The NPP Media will not stand idly by while the integrity of our government and the principles of democracy are undermined. We will actively engage in social media platforms to shed light on the injustices perpetuated by biased media outlets in our dear country.
We are committed to defending our government and working towards restoring sanity in social media discourse by separating fact from fiction, and ensuring that the voices of reason and fairness prevail.
The NPP Media will be a beacon of truth and integrity in the digital sphere, championing the values of honesty, transparency, and accountability and above all to stand against bullying. Together, we will strive to build a stronger, more inclusive society where the media serves as a watchdog, not a tool for political manipulation.

President Barrow who is crowned Mauritania as the most peaceful President in the continent of Africa is grateful to the Narr communities who have been doing business in our dear country since time immemorial. You cannot find your way into presidency by playing the race or the tribal card. The people of this country needs a politics of substance. If you are barren of political ideas or how to move this nation to another heights, please honourably resign. It is a saying that when the curtain falls one had to stand down.

Talib Ahmed Bensouda’s political opportunism
It is imperative to address the recent statements made by Mayor Talib Bensouda of KMC. Mayor Bensouda's penchant for political opportunism has once again come to the forefront, demonstrating his blatant disregard for genuine discourse and his relentless pursuit of personal gain under the guise of party allegiance.
Mayor Bensouda's attempt to twist President Barrow's words regarding the newly constructed UDP political bureau is not only disingenuous but also a clear display of his desperation to score political points at any cost. It is evident that he lacks the depth of understanding needed to engage in meaningful political dialogue, preferring instead to indulge in shallow rhetoric aimed solely at bolstering his own image within the UDP.
It is high time Mayor Bensouda realizes that true leadership transcends petty political gamesmanship. Instead of engaging in futile attempts to undermine President Barrow's credibility, he should devote his energy to constructive endeavours that benefit the people of KMC. Perhaps he should consider picking up a few books on political philosophy to gain some much-needed perspective on the destructive nature of political opportunism and the importance of genuine leadership.
Furthermore, Mayor Bensouda must understand that the presidency of our nation is not something to be bought or bargained for. True leadership is earned through competence, integrity, and a genuine commitment to serving the interests of the people. No amount of political manoeuvring or empty rhetoric will change this reality.
President Barrow has consistently demonstrated his decency, integrity, and dedication to the welfare of all Gambians. Unlike Mayor Bensouda, he refrains from engaging in the divisive tactics of demagoguery and sensationalism. His leadership is characterized by a steadfast commitment to progress and unity, qualities that Mayor Bensouda would do well to emulate.
In conclusion, Mayor Talib Bensouda would do well to heed this advice: abandon your political opportunism, focus on substantive issues, and demonstrate the leadership qualities necessary to truly serve the people of KMC and The Gambia. The path to genuine leadership is not paved with empty rhetoric and self-serving agendas, but with integrity, competence, and a genuine commitment to the common good.

REPORTING FOR DUTIES

23/04/2024

As the Media and Communication Secretary of the NPP, I had the honour of meeting His Excellency Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye the newly elected President of Senegal, during his first working visit to The Gambia. It was a fruitful meeting, and we discussed the importance of fostering strong ties between our nations for mutual benefit and regional stability.
I am pleased to announce that the NPP is committed to closely collaborating with President Faye, his party, and the government of Senegal. We believe that through cooperation and partnership, the relationship between our two countries will grow from strength to strength, opening up new avenues for economic development, cultural exchange, and shared prosperity.
To the people of The Gambia, I urge you to embrace and nurture this relationship with Senegal. Our futures are intertwined, and by working together, we can achieve greater progress and stability for our region. Let us come together in unity and solidarity, and pray for peace and stability to prevail in both of our countries.
Furthermore, I encourage all citizens of The Gambia and Senegal to engage in politics with decency and respect. Let us move away from divisive bickering and innuendos, and instead focus on constructive dialogue and collaboration. By upholding the principles of civility and mutual respect, we can build a brighter future for generations to come.

Upholding the Integrity of Journalism and Recognizing the Contributions of Honourable Amat N.K. Bah

I am writing to address the recent broadcasts on some media platforms that have been filled with innuendos against Honourable Amat N.K. Bah, a distinguished member of our government who has made significant contributions to the restoration of democracy in our beloved country.
Honourable Bah has been a beacon of hope and a tireless advocate for democratic principles since his appointment to office. His unwavering commitment to upholding the rule of law, protecting human rights, and fostering transparency and accountability within our government has been exemplary.
It is disheartening to witness some media outlets, which should serve as a pillar of truth and integrity, engage in the spread of unfounded rumours and innuendos against a decent and honourable individual like Honourable Bah. Journalism is not about sensationalism or fabricating stories to suit a particular narrative; it is about holding power to account, providing objective analysis, and serving as a watchdog for the public good.
Furthermore, it is essential to recognize the pivotal role that Honourable Bah played in the restoration of democracy in our country. His efforts to dismantle the remnants of dictatorship, promote political inclusivity, and empower marginalized communities have been instrumental in shaping our nation's democratic landscape.
As the fourth estate, journalists have a solemn responsibility to uphold the principles of truth, fairness, and accuracy in their reporting. It is imperative that we move away from sensationalism and focus on substantive issues that affect the lives of our citizens.
At NPP we urge all to reconsider their approach and adhere to the ethical standards of journalism. Let us work together to promote constructive dialogue, foster mutual respect, and uphold the dignity of public service.

While extending our congratulations to the newly elected President of Senegal, it's disappointing to note the disparaging remarks aimed at our President by Chairman of Brikama area council, when he was conveying his congratulatory message to the the President elect Faye. His criticisms and castigation of President Adama Barrow are both disrespectful and unfounded. Such behavior towards the President only serves to sow a seed of discord.

Contrary to him painting His Excellencey The President Barrow as a tyrant is baseless and false. The president has recently been recognised and awarded as one of the most peaceful presidents on the African continent, is a clear testament to his commitment to stability and good governance. His legacy will be judged on his adherence to the rule of law and democratic principles, not baseless accusations. As Winston Churchill, the great British Prime Minister, once said, "jaw jaw is better than war war." It is through dialogue and cooperation that we can resolve our differences and move forward as a united nation.

I urge the chairman of Brikama area council to refrain from treating His Excellencey The President with utter contempt and disdain. The chairman of Brikama area council should instead focus on constructive engagement and how to provide the very basic things for the people of Brikama area council Let us work together towards a future of peace, prosperity, and unity, not to be starting a fight in an empty building. The great people of Brikama area council does not deserve such a personality.

Mayor Bensouda's rhetoric and political demagoguery on the day of our nationhood
On the 18th of February 2024, as The Gambia celebrated its 59th year of nationhood, Mayor Talibs Bensouda of the KMC, took to the political stage, delivering a speech that resonated more with rhetoric and demagoguery than the spirit of the Independence Day celebration. Instead of focusing on paying tribute to the freedom fighters who paved the way for the nation's independence, Mayor Bensouda chose to politicize the occasion, diverting attention from the true essence of the day.
In a display of misplaced priorities, Mayor Bensouda launched into a political rampage, emphasizing issues like the skyrocketing prices within the country. However, he conveniently ignored the broader context of the global economic turmoil affecting nations worldwide. The mayor hypocritically highlighted the high cost of living expenses in The Gambia, this not true when it comes to basic commodity prices in the sub region, Gambia rank the cheapest.
Furthermore, Mayor Bensouda dedicated a portion of his speech to the deportation of Gambian youths from Europe. Rather than presenting concrete plans his party had to tackle this issue, he merely engaged in rhetoric, leaving the audience questioning their commitment in addressing the problem.
Despite collecting over three hundred million Dalasis in tax revenue annually for over five years within his municipality, Mayor Bensouda has yet to demonstrate significant efforts in elevating the status of the youth. His tenure has been marked by what is called "flower bash politics" photo ops and lacks tangible initiatives to empower and support the younger generation, reflecting a disconnection between his rhetoric and actions.
In the true spirit of Independence Day, citizens expected the mayor to kindle patriotism in the youth, encouraging them to serve the nation. However, Mayor Bensouda's politically charged speech missed the opportunity to inspire positive change and unity, instead perpetuating a divisive narrative. As The Gambia moves forward, KMC hope for leadership that prioritizes the well-being and aspirations of the nation over political grandstanding.
