Omar P. Jallow Responds to Sheikh Chebou Cham: Respectfully Disagreeing With His Claim That the Audio Leaker Did More Harm Than Seedy Njie’s Tribal Remarks

He wrote-:—

🗣️First and foremost, I wish to express my sincere respect and admiration for Ustass Chebou Cham. He is a highly respected Islamic scholar whose teachings have guided and inspired many Gambians, including myself. As neighbours, I have had the privilege of attending Friday prayers at his mosque on numerous occasions, and I have benefited greatly from his sermons and his deep knowledge of the Holy Qur'an and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). For that, I remain grateful and respectful.
‎
‎However, with the utmost respect, I must disagree with his recent assertion that I have done worse than Seedy Njie, because of the leaked audio of the evil Seedy Njie.
‎
‎The Sheikh should know that the central issue before Gambians is not the recording itself. The real issue is the content of that recording and what it reveals about the conduct, attitude, and mindset of a public official occupying one of the highest offices in our country. The recording exposed deeply troubling statements and practices that raise serious questions about abuse of power, discrimination, and the use of public office for personal and political interests.
‎
‎As a journalist and public commentator, I believe it is my duty to hold public officials accountable. Journalism is not about protecting the powerful from scrutiny. It is about ensuring transparency, exposing wrongdoing, and defending the public interest. When public officials use their positions to deny deserving Gambians appointments, promotions, opportunities, or even dismiss individuals without justifiable grounds, it becomes a matter of public concern that deserves public attention.
‎
‎More importantly, when statements emerge that have the potential to divide Gambians along tribal lines, silence is not an option. Our country has enjoyed decades of peaceful coexistence am

My Response to Seedy S.K. Njie

I have taken note of the statement issued by Deputy Speaker Seedy S.K. Njie regarding the leaked audio recording in which he allegedly made remarks that many Gambians have found offensive and divisive.

While Mr. Njie has sought to explain his comments and clarify his intentions, it is important to acknowledge that he did not deny the authenticity of the audio recording. His public apology, in itself, amounts to an acknowledgement that the statements were made. Consequently, public concern over the content of the recording cannot simply be dismissed as misunderstanding or political manipulation. Gambians have listened to the audio and are capable of making their own assessments.

What is particularly striking about Mr. Njie's statement is the emphasis placed on the political implications of the controversy rather than the impact his remarks may have had on national unity and social cohesion. While he expressed regret, much of his response appeared focused on addressing the fallout from the recording and its potential consequences for his political standing.

Despite acknowledging the warm reception extended to him and his delegation during their visit to Sare Gainako, Mr. Njie chose to single me out in his statement. As someone who contributed to the hospitality and success of that event, I found this both unfortunate and disappointing.

Following the public controversy, I received numerous messages and calls from concerned citizens, including residents of Nianija, who expressed solidarity and shared their own concerns about the growing culture of political intolerance and division. These concerns deserve serious reflection from all public officials, regardless of political affiliation.

Mr. Njie also claimed that he intervened with the Director General of GRTS to ensure that I was not dismissed from my position. This statement raises important questions. On what grounds could I have been dismissed in the first place? Such remarks cre

NRA Signs Two Contracts to Improve Road Conditions in North Bank Region

As part of its mandate to develop and maintain road infrastructure across the country, the National Roads Authority (NRA) on Tuesday, 2nd June 2026, signed two road maintenance contracts with Smateq Construction and Pinnacle Group JV Heritage Holdings to improve deteriorating road conditions in Kuntaya and Banni Village in the North Bank Region (NBR).

The intervention follows unexpected structural challenges in the affected areas, which have caused significant difficulties for residents and commuters travelling through the communities.

Under these contracts, Pinnacle Group JV Heritage Holdings will undertake the construction of the Kuntaya Triple Cell Culverts, while Smateq Construction will work on the Five Cell Culverts project in Banni Village.

Speaking during the signing ceremony, Sulayman Sumareh Janneh, Managing Director of the National Roads Authority (NRA), congratulated both companies on securing the contracts, noting that their selection was based on merit and their proven track records in previous projects.

“This project is a testament to the important service you provide to the communities because the work being entrusted to you is critical,” he told the contractors.

Mr Janneh emphasised the importance of the projects, stating that road accessibility remains essential to the daily lives and livelihoods of communities.

“Sometimes people underestimate the importance of such projects without realising the impact they have on the lives of ordinary people. These maintenance are vital for people travelling to work, schools, markets and health facilities,” he said.

He further highlighted that heavy stormwater flows have, at times, rendered the affected areas virtually inaccessible, leaving residents stranded and disrupting economic and social activities.

The NRA Managing Director urged the contractors to maintain the level of professionalism and commitment they demonstrated during

The National Water and Electricity Company (NAWEC) has announced that two of its major generators are back in operation, offering some relief to the national grid, although electricity supply remains strained during peak nighttime hours.

Speaking to Start TV on Monday, NAWEC Public Relations Officer, Buba Badjie, confirmed the restoration of the machines while acknowledging that demand continues to exceed supply, particularly at night.

“Right now, our two machines are back and functioning. You know, we don’t have problems during the daytime. Most of the time, night is the peak demand period. But as I said, all this will not take long again,” Badjie said, expressing optimism that the situation will improve in the near future. He, however, did not provide a specific timeline for full normalization of supply.

Despite ongoing outages, particularly across the Greater Banjul Area and the West Coast Region, NAWEC says it is making significant progress on long-term energy expansion projects.

Badjie revealed that contractors are actively extending electricity access to previously unserved communities. He also disclosed that the company is preparing to sign a contract for a 50-megawatt solar power plant in Jarra Soma within days.

“The 50 megawatts is almost done; the study has been completed. To sign the contract- that’s what we are coming to do for the contractor to begin work,” he explained.

According to NAWEC, the solar project forms part of a broader 150-megawatt renewable energy initiative, with the initial phase expected to significantly boost national generation capacity.

In addition to electricity projects, the company is also implementing a major water supply initiative targeting Bundung, Abuko, Jamburr, and Latrikunda. Badjie expressed confidence that by the end of 2026, water supply challenges in these areas will be substantially resolved.

Commission Report Vindicates Mayor Bensouda Over Removal of Former KMC CEO

Lord Mayor Talib Ahmed Bensouda has been vindicated by the findings of a draft report from the Commission of Inquiry into Local Government Councils and Connected Matters, which found that Sainabou Martin Sonko, the former Chief Executive Officer of the Kanifing Municipal Council, bore primary statutory responsibility for serious financial governance failures during her tenure.

The findings appear to confirm that the Mayor’s decision to move Mrs Sonko out of KMC was grounded in legitimate concerns over accountability, transparency and the protection of public funds. For many observers, the report strengthens the view that Mayor Bensouda acted in defence of good governance and that his stance was consistent with a broader commitment to resisting corruption within the Council.

The draft report, obtained by Kerr Fatou, documents a range of serious misconduct and administrative failures under Mrs Sonko’s leadership. These include unauthorised loan guarantees, widespread non compliance with procurement rules, failure to act on suspected revenue theft and her own admission that she retained a D30,000 payment from a contractor, which she herself recognised as an attempt to corrupt her.

Mrs Sonko served as Chief Executive Officer of the Kanifing Municipal Council, the statutory head of administration and principal accounting officer of The Gambia’s most densely populated local authority. Under Section 43 of the Local Government Act 2002, she bore primary legal responsibility for ensuring that all expenditure was lawful, properly documented and compliant with procurement regulations.

Among the commission’s most serious findings was Mrs Sonko’s personal ex*****on of loan guarantees and domiciliation undertakings on behalf of the Council without obtaining the required council resolutions.

According to the report, she signed guarantees in favour of the KMC Staff Welfare Association and the KMC Staff

Whoever listen to this guy has bumped their heads.He has no quality of being honor or respect neither to be treated ethically.

Imagine self-confessed criminal who publicly admitted his sexist and misogynistic attitude being on Frontline fighting for corruption and injustice,if not gambia where will that happen in the whole world?

Nko how could someone who treat women in a disrespectful manner,and taking advantage or pushing them into doing things they do not wish to do can be chivalrous, courteous or honorable man?

Alieu Bah keep your mouth shut... You can't tell us any conduct of president Barrow, Ousainou Darboe, Diomaye Faye neither Ousman Sonko hence they're all mannered than you!

Gambians increase self -awareness and realize that praising such kind of people like Alieu Bah could give him the ability or means to create romance scams network to exploit our vulnerable women.

Alikou Gambia a criminal talking bad about another criminal,yet fools take him seriously!!!
