If President Jammeh has decided not to sack Mrs Juka
Jabang, then why did he sack the likes of Fatou Jallow
and Therese Drammeh. Mrs Jabang, Mrs Fatou Jallow and
Mrs Therese Drammeh have something in common- Their
husbands were active members of the PPP regime.
Judging from previous incidents, I am inclined to say
that Juka Jabang is next on the "hit list" Don't
forget what happened to Tombong Saidy
Thank you.
