Banjul, The Gambia Journal

GRTS radio announced that the office of the President at State House, has 
declared Monday December 31st a public holiday in honor of the official 
naming ceremony of baby Muhamed Yahya Jammeh. It is the first time the birth 
of a living baby is being officially celebrated in The Gambia. In the run up 
to the celebrations, one of our Banjul correspondents wrote, a wave of 
sycophancy, as never seen before, is being displayed, with prominent 
personalities, state departments, parastatals, private businessmen and 
companies and institutions competing with each other in the sizes of gifts 
and donations to President Jammeh. They have bought up all newspaper space 
to send congratulatory messages on the occasion.
