President Adama Barrow of the Gambia will next Tuesday hold a two week periodic briefing with head of government sectors on the implementation of the National Development Plan (NDP 2018-2021) at the State House.
The meeting lasting from April 3rd – 13th will give permanent secretaries and heads of sectors along with their ministers an opportunity to brief the president on the level of implementation of the NDP since it was launched in January this year. The briefing will also include the plan for the next quarter towards achieving the stated goals and objectives of the NDP.
The institutionalisation of periodic briefings is one of the strategies of the Office of the President in its oversight role to support implementation and coordination of sector activities.
It is expected that through periodic engagements with sectors on the implementation of their sectoral plans in line with the NDP will improve efficient and effective management.
The Office of the President has embarked on strategic reforms of it systems and processes to improve monitoring and strategic communication to support the president in delivering his flagship priority programmes within the NDP.
During his meeting with the senior civil servants in January, President Barrow declared that there would be quarterly review of the stage of implementation of the NDP and thus tasked the civil servants to effectively and efficiently engage to deliver to the nation.
As the Wollof proverb says,“ndangka ndangka mo japa golloh“meaning small small catches the monkey.The National Development Plan has come at the right time when a lot of revelations on assumed corrupt practices are leveled against some of the Government Institutions.Now that a big trawler net in the form of NDP is set,we hope that high catches shall be achieved in terms of development and transparency.
Jollofnews and all the Barrow enablers,
I’m seriously disappointed that this tabloid that I sincerely revere, is gradually dragging into partiality and partisan views.
Why are you all MUTE about the very bad and wasteful behaviour of that FLAT-FACED corrupt, tribalist, pompous and very RUDE septogenerian “vice president” Fatumatta Tambajang who took a delegation of 27 women including her own daughter to illicitly receive over a staggering total of 2 million Gambian Dalasis from our coffers as per diem emoluments of a UN women’s conference in the USA?
Is it because you LOVE your USELESS government so much that whatever guts they do, you condone, while our farmers continue to sit without money from their groundnut sales; while there is permanent outage/shortage of electricity and water; while rice, oil, potatoes and even home-produced tomatoes/pepper, onions are unaffordable; while there is deliberate scarcity of fish(which is hoarded for export to Senegal); while meat, milk, cement, transport fares are all soaring; while our children are unceremoniously flushed out of the USA and Europe at the injunction of this INCOMPETENT and CORRUPT administration with an illiterate Britis Argos watchman overseeing…….?
I want to hear your voices, come on. Is it still the fault of President Jammeh that this very BAD woman should waste our resources at her will and remain impuned?
DOUBLE STANDARD is the name of your nasty game. why don’t your untruthful pompous self comment on these heart breaking revelations about Jammeh’s illicit wealth. Read below more uncovering of our stolen sovereign wealth by Jammeh and his family:

ASP Delo Baldeh of the Gambia Police Force and member of the investigation team of the ‘Janneh’ Commission, yesterday continued to give more details on the numerous properties acquired by the former president, Yahya Jammeh.
Officials of the Departments of Lands and Surveys, Physical Planning, Gambia Tourism Board, also continued to give details of more properties owned by the former President.
A power point presentation made by Bunja Janneh, depicted 53 properties acquired by the former president and his business enterprise Kanilai Family Farm (KFF), within the Kanifing Municipality and the larger West Coast Region.
ASP Baldeh explained how the former president acquired a plot of land in Talinding which he said was acquired from the community; that there was a letter addressed by the Alkalo of Talinding Alhajie Ebou Bajie, to the former president, following his consent for the allocation of the said plot of land to him.
ASP Baldeh further revealed that the building located at the Kanifing Industrial Estate occupied by Kanilai Family Farms along the Banjul highway, was also acquired by Jammeh as well as the Maintenance Service Garage in the same location, which formerly belonged to one Mbye Njie and Sons, for maintenance services, which was assigned between AMRC and KFF.
The Commission also heard from ASP Baldeh that Jammeh bought a property of land belonging to Baba Jobe for D5million after an assignment between one Momodou Fofona and KFF.
According to ASP Badeh, one of Mr. Jobe’s properties located at Kotu West was also acquired by the former president through a deal between him and Tida Jaiteh-Jobe, the wife of Baba Jobe, who said she was forced to sell the property.
Baldeh at that point explained that all the properties they had come across, were acquired through the authority of the former president including that of the late Baba Jobe’s.
Continuing with the list of properties within the KM, Mr. Baldeh told the Commission that there was another property owned by the former president situated opposite the Kotu property, noting that one Marian Omar Sallah owned the property and allocated it to Baba Jobe, but was also taken by the former president despite the fact that it was not assigned to him.
According to Baldeh, there was an authority from the former president for one Pa Bojang to transfer all his (Jammeh’s) properties to KFF including Baba Jobe’s properties; that the president had a land situated at Kololi which was occupied by one Haruna Tamba and assigned to Baba Jobe’s daughter.
On the property at Cape Point, he told the Commission that it was owned by Baba Jobe and assigned to one Fatou Ceesay but was taken by the former president while the property at Bakau (a Super Market) was also owned by the former president and there was a title deed of the property. He testified that the property was sold for D8, 000,000.
Further testifying, he revealed that Ndeban Clinic was owned by the former president; that it measured 30,000 square metres, noting that it was sold by the High Court for $150,000 and is currently occupied by one Bully, but that the clinic is not operational.
On the property at James Baker’s Street in Bakau, ASP Baldeh said it was bought by KFF for D3,000,000 and was occupied by one Sierra Leonean; that the property at Bakau Newtown is an empty land and there is a deed of assignment; that it was sold to KFF for D2,000,000.
On the property at Fajara South Atlantic, he stated that it is an empty land sold to KFF for D2.7 million, noting that at Cape Point around Sunwing Hotel, the former president had a property measuring 11.9 hectares.
According to him, at Cape Point, there was a certificate of purchase for the land owned by the former president with 1000 square metres and was bought for D4,000,000 through the Sheriff Division. ASP Baldeh added that there was an assignment between Ansoumana Kujabi and KFF and further informed the Commission that the former president had another land at Cape Point in the name of his mother, which was purchased from Ismaila Kabba Sambou and measuring 1500 square metres.
ASP Baldeh further testified that there was another property owned by the former president assigned to Abdou Assan Kaira which was owned by Baba Jobe but taken by the former president; that it is now a developed property and occupied as well.
At this juncture, documents relating to the properties owned by the former president were tendered and admitted as exhibits.
Dwelling on the Kombo South / East properties owned by the former president, ASP Baldeh said the Njambai Forest property belongs to the former president but was formerly owned by Dr. Lenrie Peters who sold it to KFF.
On Siffoe Garden property, the witness told the Commission that it was allocated by Alagie Malick Demba to the former president and is situated at the sea side but not fenced; that the Gunjur property owned by the former president is fenced and the length is from Medina Salam to Gunjur.
Mr. Baldeh further revealed that there was another Medina Salam property owned by the former president which he visited and showed interest in but that the community denied him; that when he gave them money, he acquired it.
He said the former president, had a property at Sambuyaa, further stating that he also had another property at Sanyang Kairaba.
Other properties, according to him, are Scan Gambia, Santamba at Sanyang, Sanyang quarry, Tanji River side property as well as another property in Kombo South which the former president acquired after demolishing some compounds in the area.
Where did you scavenge your LIES? You LIAR and hateful fool. You don’t scavenge for LIES, do you? Where are those assets taken? To Senegal, Illiterate Barrow’s home!
In order to knot a hateful and lying double standard bigot like you in his own delusional imaginations, one needs to get dirty, even if that means scavenging for stories as long as they are credible. If them stories from other tabloids are all lies, why then do you always serenade us with stories specially from the Freedom Newspaper? ”Well those stories are anti Barrow and as such they are the truth” What an idiotic Manswanko fool you are.
This is the double standard nature of a lying and hateful Manswanko child, when it comes to partiality. These are assets with documentary evidence of who owned or acquired them and without a shadow of a doubt, they were assets in most cases acquired by Jammeh unlawfully using funds stolen from the Gambian people and nation. Some lying faked ass professor unfortunately do not have the finesse or the honesty to see the ugliness of these revelations. BASTARD YAHYA JAMMEH not only killed,raped and tortured but also emptied our coffers to enrich himself, his family and his cronies. I wondered why ”ALLAH’S BANK” have no available funds to pay the farmers for their peanuts, to construct new power stations, supply our hospitals with the medicines they need and help our returnees to get back on their feet.
Hateful bigotry and naked lies ain’t gonna solve our problems.
Babu,
Is travelling to international conferences, with so called “high powered” delegations, a new thing in The Gambia? Why are you expressing outrage at current VP, but said nothing against former VP or Madam Zeinab Jammeh, in particular, who used to have her own state funded and maintained “private” jet? Why were you mute?
Don’t get me wrong; I agree entirely with anyone who condemn these wasteful practices (and they are many: from conferences to celebrations and endless workshops), but I just find your hypocrisy and denials hard to ignore.
What have you got to say about the endless Jamborees that used to take place in Kaninlai, almost weekly? What about the July 22nd extravangansa for 22yrs? What about Jammeh’s expensive, gas guzzling convoys that scuttle between Banjul and Kaninlai endlessly? Why were you mute?
You stated somewhere that Jammeh used to give out money without discrimination on tribe, and whilst that may be true, have you asked yourself where that money used to come from? Isn’t it true that Jammeh was doing that, perhaps, to satisfy his twisted mind that he was justified to embezzle our resources?
We will go by Natty’s “scavenged lies”, because these are from reliable witnesses: officials from Physical Planning, Lands and Tourism who were dealing with these issues. We have no reason to look for any other versions, until you can provide us with credible, alternative witnesses. Frankly Babu, the more you “talk”, the more convinced I am that you are not who you claim to be. You sound more like a Jungler on the run, than a learned professor. Just my opinion.
Natty Dread,
STUPID IDIOTIC FOOL in the name of the ass Natty Dread. Haven’t you ever talked about Babu scavenging for information? Why the IDIOT of you doing the same? Is it now that Freedom Newspaper is your foe when it led the anti Jammeh crusade for you and did all the nasty job. You sneaky IDIOT!
Your Janneh “commission” which is composed of THIEVES during their professional era is a vengeful bunch of malicious people who would have never sat on a commission of inquiry in any democratic country. But it’s your Gambia with a bunch of USELESS, CORRUPT IDIOTS whose only objective is to fool their blind-folded surrogates, like you.
In less than 1 year 6 months your thieves have wasted far more than Jammeh in 22 years. But IDIOTS like you would never see, because you are caged and enslaved in their IGNORANCE!
Natty Dread ain’t gonna take the bait faked ass professor as she ain’t got time to spank your ugly wriggly hairy backside you used to entertain dictator Jammeh with during your Kanilai orgies. I know you missed those days of decadence, unchallenged power in the hands of a heartless beast, aided and abetted by evil men like you professor resulting in the deaths of many innocent Gambians and non Gambians. Sometimes i wondered how easily and normal it is for you BABU SOLI to lie unashamedly, ignored the obvious in your blind support for a man who killed, raped, robed, tortured and forced disappeared many of your fellow country men AND WOMEN. To state unashamedly that this government wasted far more in 1 year 6 months than Jammeh wasted in 22 years show your kind, a lying breed, a madman and a hateful idiot. How can you expect to be taken seriously when you are ranting against things, actions and deeds you participated in or condoned for 22 years without apology but now when the tables turned you wants to burn down the house.
Can you please read these two paragraphs of yours and you will be convinced of what a dirty double standard lying hateful idiot you are…….READ YOUR LIES ..”.Your Janneh “commission” which is composed of THIEVES during their professional era is a vengeful bunch of malicious people who would have never sat on a commission of inquiry in any democratic country. But it’s your Gambia with a bunch of USELESS, CORRUPT IDIOTS whose only objective is to fool their blind-folded surrogates, like you.
But IDIOTS like you would never see, because you are caged and enslaved in their IGNORANCE!.”
A die hard supporter of Yahya Jammeh can have no moral authority or justification to utter such words. ”Your persistent hatred for Jammeh has immensely eroded your soberness and your “intellect” to assess the misbehaviour and wrongdoings of your CORRUPT, TRIBALIST, INCAPABLE and SELFISH bunch of administrators.”
Maybe your persistent love for Yahya Jammeh has immensely eroded your soberness and intellect too if you have any, to asses the misbehaviour and wrongdoings of Yahya Jammeh and his band of criminals. But it is ok for you BABU SOLI TO LIE AS THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE BORN TO DO.
Bax,
With your neocolonial and imperialist thinking, I am obliged to think that you live in either the UK or USA, the world’s most backward and imperialist countries.
Why do you think that Babu is a Jungler on the run? Is it because I haven’t knelt before you, succumbed to your wishful thinking or just refused to say YES, SIR BAX?
There are some others like you, Bax who went further and allegedly say, Babu is not Gambian, Babu is not the professor he claims to be. That’s the usual Gambian thinking: “you must be as I am or you are not what you are”.
But why do I have to think and behave like you? You see, you don’t closely follow my postings or you may be suffering from some mental inertia. I have on uncountless occasions reiterated that, I have NEVER in my life met President Jammeh. Believe it or not, it’s your business, but I don’t have to swear before my Creator to convince a human soul like you.
Your persistent hatred for Jammeh has immensely eroded your soberness and your “intellect” to assess the misbehaviour and wrongdoings of your CORRUPT, TRIBALIST, INCAPABLE and SELFISH bunch of administrators.
That selfish and evil Fatumatta Tambajang deliberately followed the footsteps of his boss, the INEFFICIENT and CORRUPT Barrow in taking a wasteful delegation (including her own daughter) to New York. Didn’t you decry that Barrow wasteful behaviour in September 2017? If there is a repetition of the same misconduct, why play the hypocrite’s fiddle this time?
I want to hear your call for the resignation or dismissal of this EVIL DEVIL, Fatumatta Tambajang. Our people are economically and socially hard up to see such waste at this time.
