Breaking News:  Gambia:  Jammeh Appoints New Chief For Foni Bintang  Karanai

Jammeh Appoints New Chief For Foni Bintang  Karanai
 As Ex Kombo South Chief Rejects Jammeh's Offer 
By Staff Reporter Bakary Gibba, Banjul
President Yahya Jammeh has hired Mr. Alfusainey Jarju a native of Foni Sibanorr, as the new Chief (Seyfo) of the Foni Bintang District with effect from August 17, 2011, the Freedom Newspaper can reveal. 
Mr. Jarju, is a former employee of the then Children Christian Fund (CCF) now known as the Child Fund The Gambia.  He converted to Christianity shortly after he picked up another job with the Missionary Church in Brikama Cannaan, but only to switch his fate again to Islam. Mr. Jarju replaces the late Chief Mr. Camara, who passed away due to an ailing health condition, sources here said. 
Residents of the area were taken aback by Mr Jarju’s appointment—a man they described as a dormant APRC sympathizer. He was handpicked by the President Yahya Jammeh, following a recommendation made on his behalf by the Governor of West Coast Region, Alhagie Lamin Sanneh. 
There is a growing disapproval about Jarju’s appointment amongst the local populace here. For example, constituents are of the view that there are more qualified, dedicated, loyal, and committed APRC party supporters who have been sidelined despite their initial expression of interest in occupying the position, said our sources. 
In a related development, this medium was reliably informed that the Ex-Chief of Kombo South Lamin Darboe, has turned down  an offer from President Jammeh to serve as the new Chief of the District, following the recent sacking of Chief Ajay Sheriffo Janneh. Mr. Janneh was dismissed by the Head of state without any reason given for his removal. 
Administration sources hinted that Business tycoon Pa-Giki Darboe, was also approached to fill the vacant position, but he told Jammeh’s emissaries that he is battling with poor health condition. That did not stop the authorities though from prevailing on Darboe’s son Fanding Darboe to consider replacing the sacked former chief Ajay Sheriffo Janneh.
