GAMBIA COCAINE SCANDAL—DISTURBING REVELATIONS!!!

Politically exposed persons (PEP), The Cocaine Burst in The Gambia vs.International Anti Money Laundering laws!

 By Essa Bokarr Sey.

There is what financial institutions call the PEP-Politically exposed persons. The term is neither clumsy nor complex for anyone to decode as it is self-explanatory. The equivalent of PEP can as well be what we call “high ranking officials” in our every day language within the circles of government. This term or “extended title” features on government reports, news and the like that are related to government institutions especially in former British colonies like ours, where most of the terms have been inherited from a transcending administrative culture. Why are they called politically exposed persons? They are called so because they are the ones on the frontline. They are the ones who have access to power, resources and other aspects related to anything that touches on politics, policies and or other aspects that affect the welfare of the people. They are exposed because they are dealing with what the public should know about or what touches on the every lives of people.

SCARY REVELATIONS EMERGED OVER GAMBIA’S ONE BILLION DOLLAR COCAINE SCANDAL

NIA FILES! The Gambia’s NIA should be revamped forthwith!

a)The Gambia’s NIA should be revamped forthwith!

 b)Who imported the drugs into The Gambia?

c)How did that huge consignment slip through in a country with check points more than those at the GAZA STRIP in Palestine?   

d)At Bonto farm there is an area near the stream which could be used by drug lords from Guinea Bissau and other parts of West Africa unnoticed!   

Going by the legacy it has left behind and the stains on this agency it should be revamped forthwith! The sooner President Jammeh realizes this, the better for him and our country. The NIA has ever since its inception been one of the worst intelligence agencies in our part of the world. They are corrupt, reckless, useless(as far as professionalism in  intelligence gathering is concerned) and they are not staffed with seasoned or dedicated people at all. How many of them have been arrested for every crime one can imagine in criminal code so far? From the time people like Salmina Drammeh and others were involved in the diamond saga to date tell me where the NIA has not been caught with their pants down? They are petty thieves posing as intelligence officials. Imagine the huge building a person like Baba Saho erected considering his low wages and educational background.

The impoverished nation of the Gambia is gradually becoming a safe-haven for drug cartel networks—notably drug dealers from South America, Guinea Bissau, and the country’s indigenous local citizens who used the West African country to traffic cocaine and other dangerous drugs, the Freedom Newspaper can report. A massive joint security operation Friday, June 4^th led to the confiscation of a huge consignment of cocaine—that was hidden at Muktharr Trading Store—situated between Bonto village and Pirang in the Kombo East District, West Region of the Gambia, intelligence sources said. Muktharr Trading, is engaged in timber sale in The Gambia. The company is owned by a Lebanese born business tycoon Mr. Muktharr. Mr. Muktaharr is a close associate of President Yahya Jammeh. His company is partly responsible for the country’s dwindling flora and fauna.

Gentlemen,
  I read with disgust  the article written by Michael Scales on Gambia plc. I am Gambian myself, living in England for the past 25yrs, educated and currently working as an Operations Director for a very successful blue chip company in England.As Gambian Journalist I can empathize with a lot of what is affecting you, and the sacrifices you have taken to continue 'reporting' on what is affecting us. However, I am a great believer in Patriotism,, 'Buga saraew', in everything a citizen does......micro to macro economic development, together with fighting criticisms that will impact on the development of your country.
