Following in fighting among junior and senior staff members of Gamtel, the
company's MD Abdouraman Mboob has finally got the sacked, sources close to
the heart of the Gambian government told me last night.  Mboob who was
brought to Gamtel by Famara Jatta,  had been accused of materminding the
arrest of your Gamtel engineers, who were detained at the Mile two Central
prisons.  The Gamtel engineers were blamed for a major communication break
down which hit the tiny west Afican country recently.  Mboob's management
were said to have written to the police claiming that the black out was due
to sobotage perpetrate by the engineers, whom he had been at logger ahead
with.

Gamtel's staff Association in protest matched to the Vice president's
residence demanding for the immediate release of their colleagues.  They
told the VP that they don't see any justification for the illegal detention
of the egineers.  The VP according to our sources later convened a meeting
with the police, where she ordered for the release of the Gamtel staff.

One thing is evident however, Gamtel is now being politicised.  The regime
is hiring people who are not experienced to handle the job.  Most
professionals are resigning day by the day.  Pro APRC supporters are hell
bent on undermining  qualified staff.  I must point out that mboob was not
fit to run Gamtel.  He was brought there by Famara Jatta his former boss in
order run errands for him.  He  Fams and others are running a  software
company called Cube.  This company according to sources compelled Gamtel to
purchase computers and other software materials from the firm.  Most of the
time sources say the prices are exorbitant.  Mboob is replaced by Omar Ndow.
