Upright Woman Confirmed New Gambia Maritime Administration Boss!
Olimatou Danso has been confirmed as the new Director General at The Gambia Maritime Administration. Mrs. Danso, reputed to be strictly principled and upright is coming from a legal background.
She replaced Mr. Karamo Janneh who was removed from the position. Mr. Janneh who was in the United Kingdom at the time was reportedly informed of his sacking through a phone call from the Ministry of works.
It was not the first alleged phone call from the Works Ministry under Ebrima Sillah to fire a Gambian this rainy season. We decide not to publish other sensitive information about the government Sillah has been, of late, trying to be titan of.
Just only weeks ago, we reported another Works Ministry phone call placed to Gambia Ports to terminate the contract of Kexx Sanneh, a popular youth activist part of the newly constituted Gambians Against Looted Assets (GALA).
Minister Sillah himself placed the call and spoke about Kexx’s termination, highly-situated insiders confided in forGambia News only weeks ago.
Meanwhile, a gov’t insider adds about Mrs. Olimatou Danso-Malang, “She’s very respectful here at GMA and dedicated to her work. We hope she can get to work and clean all the mess in the GMA,” the person told forGambia on Saturday, August 9th 2025.
