Badou Jobe,

Thank you for this very important information. A convicted child molester 
socializing with the president of our country and his wife, and  being brought 
into our country by Oko Drammeh who told us (as quoted below) that one of his 
missions as cultural ambassador was to end some of the filthy habits of tourism?
This is a matter of grave national concern but this association is not 
surprising because Gambians are now well aware of the less than honourable character 
of this regime.
