                                   BY OUR WASHINGTON DC,  CORRESPONDENT


  The half a million United States dollars law suit brought against the
administration of President Yahya Jammeh, by a US lobby Group called EAW
GROUP INC has taken a dramatic twist with four top Gambia government
officials summoned to testify in a Washington DC court scheduled for
Monday November 28TH, 2005, authoritative sources close to  The Gambian
embassy in Washington DC told this paper.


  JAMMEH IN US LAW
  SUIT

  EAW Group represented by   in  a  civil suit case number titled
102-CV-2425  had notified the following Gambian authorities Messrs
Ambassador   Grey-Johnson, Gambia's representative at the United Nations
Security Council,  James Kujabi, former Deputy Chief Protocol Officer at
the office of the Presidency in Banjul, now residing in New York City,
John P  Bojang, Gambia's ambassador to Taiwan and Famara Jatta, Governor
of  The Central Bank of The Gambia,  about the said law suit scheduled
to be heard on Monday at  a  Washington court.

  Ambassador Johnson is scheduled to give his side of the story to the
District Court of Columbia on November 28, while James Kujabi is booked
for November 29,  Ambassador John P Bojang, November 30TH  and Famara
Jatta December 2ND 2005.

  This paper has been reliably informed by highly placed  sources at the
Gambian mission in DC  that Ambassador Bojang will appear via Video
conference from Taipei together with Central Bank Governor Famara Jatta.

  EAW GROUP INC,  is a leading US lobby Group, which was contracted by The
Gambian  Government to market the image of  the Jammeh administration to
the outside world,  with the sole aim of attracting US investors and
recognition. A contract agreement was signed by the two parties for such
a business deal,  but sources say  The Gambian government for some
reasons failed to honour its promise to pay the lobby firm, which
resorted to dragging the Jammeh government to court.  This paper also
gathered that despite repeated demands by EAW Group for the Jammeh
government to honour its financial obligation to the firm failed.

  The plaintiff  in a court deposition titled "NOTICE OF DEPOSITION JOHN
BOJANG" says"Please take note that the plaintiff  EAW GROUP, INC, will
take the deposition of  John P Bojang, former ambassador of  the
Republic of The Gambia, to the United States of  America, pursuant to
Rule 30 of the Federal Rule of the Civil  Procedure at 9.30am on Tuesday
November, 29TH, 2005 at the office of  Baker Botts, LLP,  1299,
Pennsylvania, Ave, NW,  13TH  Floor, Washington, DC. The deposition will
be conducted with video conferencing technology, and will be recorded
stenographically and by audio and visual means before an officer
authorised to administer the oath." said the statement.   However,
latest developements say Mr,Bojang will instead testify on the 3oTH, of
November, 2005.

  Investigations conducted by this paper  reveals that certificate of
service was effected on Ambassador John P Bojang on November, 17Th 2005
to prepare his defence on the said high profile civil action brought
against the Jammeh government. Messrs James Kujabi, Ambassador
Grey-Johnson and Governor Famara Jatta were also served with notice of
Deposition.

  According to our sources, since Ambassador Johnson and James Kujabi are
physically present in the United States,  they will show up in court in
person. Sources say the named public officials were privy of the said
contract signed between The Gambia Government and EAW GROUP INC, to sell
what observer's say the "battered image of the Jammeh government." The
EAW GROUP INC,  want  the court to order The Gambia Government to settle
the said sum of money, with interest. It is claiming loss of earning and
breach of contract from The Gambia Government.  Observers say the said
case will likely attract local and international attention, as there
seems to be non committal on the side of  The Gambian authorities to put
a defence on the said scandalous suit.

  One of the defendants James kujabi was fired from his post about a year
ago, amidst government allegations that he stole government vehicles, a
charge Kujabi denied. Mr.Kujabi is  said to be an uncle to the head of
State Yahya Jammeh.  This paper will keep you posted with developements,
as the case unfolds.
