Less than 24 hours after we ran a clarification from a Gambian baed in the UK regarding our Tijan Nimaga's criticism of the Senegambia Community- UK for awarding President Jammeh a good governance award, information is trickling in about the dubious character behind the award. The first letter comes from our own Kissy Kissy Mansa (a.k.a. KKM) at State House. Read on.
Editor:
I have not been following the news as closely as I should lately and thus did not get to the Wagga Jagne character until now. Waka is a cousin to our US Ambassador Bammy Jagne. He has been a resident of the UK for close to two decades or more. If my memory serves me right, he was busted for dealing in cocaine. He was arrested, charged with traficing and subsequently bailed. He jumped bail and returned to the UK via Dakar. Needless to say, he has not been back since. So anything to get the Dictator to wipe his criminal slate clean so that he can return to Bajul, Waka Jagne will do. It is not a surprise to those who know this character that he resorted to awarding a Senegambia award to Jammeh in the name of Senegambians in the UK.What a shame?
Always,
KKM
