By Mathew K. Jallow, Associate Editor

The stories that were circulating around the country and beyond early last week sounded too bizarre to be true, but they were true.

Teacher Retrenchment Not The Solution

BY TIJAN NIMAGA, Bronx New York,

For the past fourteen years, The Gambia’s educational sector under the government of President Yahya Jammeh has been progressively worsening and now it is virtually a failure. And now unable to fix the quagmire, the government has resorted to scapegoat employees as evident in the recent harassment geared towards unqualified Gambian teachers.

The Money Trail:

Yahya Jammeh’s Corruption-Part IV $4,480,634.87

UDP takes this opportunity to wish all Gambians and friends of The Gambia a happy new year (2009). Year 2008 has been a difficult year for Gambians who believe in democracy and the rule of law.
