>Subject: Reasons behind the recent Cabinet Reshuffle
>Date: Sat,
>
>Ebrima,
>The Dumo Sahor is partly responsible for yesterday's cabinet reshuffle.
>Sajo Jallow is being shown the door in a gradual manner. He goes to Youth
>and Sports as the final stop before being shown the door. His relations
>with MOJA-G and particularly his association with Dumo is making Yahya
>nervous. He doesn't trust any thing MOJA after the abduction of Dumo so the
>first casualty of the kidnapping of the comrade-in-arms of Sajor is Sarjo
>himself. Susan Waffa-Ogoo moves to Fisheries and natural resources where
>she will have very little control over many issues, including issuing
>fishing licence, which Yahya will still insist on holding on to so that he
>can continue to extort money from foreign vessels fishing in Gambian
>waters. Had it not been for the regular intervention of members of the
>Tamba family, Susan Waffa-Ogoo would have been dismissed a long time ago.
>She is being moved from Tourism where she has been giving Yahya hell lately
>over land allocation to FTI which the lady refused to do without going
>through the procedures laid done by Government. Removing her from Tourism
>will make life easier for FTI. Yankuba will not only give FTI any amount of
>land that they want and he will do so without consulting the Land
>Allocation Board. All he needs is a nod from the Butcher. He will give land
>to Amadou Samba and to Yahya's friends. Tourism is dead with Yankuba in
>charge. Edward Singhatey has his hands strengthened by being moved to Works
>and also responsible for Presidential Affairs and the National Assembly.
>Yahya had to do it because he had been warned that he cannot afford to
>continue to frustrate Edward. Yahya and Edward will knock heads sooner or
>later. We will just watch the two play chess.
>Further reshuffle will come after the Butcher resumes from his leave. (What
>leave? Yahya has never put in a days work, a friend commented this morning.
>For my friend, Yahya has always been on leave,) For now, he is in Kanilai
>with little Mariam "Sambou". For those of you who missed my earlier
>message, Mariam is the name of the new arrival in Yahya's household. At
>last report, both mother and baby Sambou are doing fine.
