A very striking scoop reaching forGambia Tuesday say former Vice President, Fatoumata Tambajang-Jallow is bouncing back to her once lost position. The same tips say the current Vice President, Dr. Isatou Touray, who, as we report this, is boarding her flight back to The Gambia from New York’s U.N meeting is losing her young position to the nervous administration’s first pick. It will be the fourth time Gambia is witnessing a new vice president in less than three years.

Last month, we reported this change as forthcoming with the Barrow government’s recent cabinet shake-up. The epileptic government delayed the changes we reported to differ from our publication. It did not forestall the cabinet reshuffle. Without a vaunt of ego, we again emerge with another chess-board step of Adama Barrow’s State House. 

Please go ahead and delay or change your mind as has been your wont, Mr. President. Ours is not an appointment with Hearst journalism. Nor is it a twelfth-century crusade against your composure. We want a better Gambia! A Gambia built on Singaporean “meritocracy, pragmatism, and honesty!” We don’t have time to joust with you. These are, but glimpses to your vista in case you forget that we too are watching.

Meanwhile, the embattled Alagie Ceesay is billed for a move to foreign affairs to replace Tangara. In another belated twist, spokesperson Ebrima Sankareh and Information’s Ebrima Sillah are reported to be leaving too. Our sources say they may be deployed to foreign affairs. None of these has  been any news to forGambia.

We are bombarded with information on a regular basis, Mr. President. A lot of such information, Mr. Barrow, we choose not to publish. Hiring and firing this quick is not what takes a country to prosperity. You’ve been dying to consolidate yourself in power. That’s the basis of these hasty and very counter-productive moves.
