Tombong Saidy, Grateful if you could confirm or deny this information regarding John Bojang. Mr Saidy, I called the Gambia, a few minutes ago, trying to get some information on Dr Sidat Jobe, Gambia's Foreign Minister, and, in the process, was informed about a new development in government, concerning John Bojang. I was told that John Bojang, who is presently the Gambia's High Commissioner to the UK, has been transferred to Washington DC, to become the Gambia's ambassador to the United States of America, with effect from 1 December 1999. I was also informed that Bala Jahumpa, presently The Gambia's deputy High Commissioner to the UK, has been promoted to replace Mr John Bojang, as the new High Commissioner, effective from 1 December 1999. Mr Saidy, with regard to Mr Jahumpa's appointment, you do not have to bother yourself to check the information for me, because Mr Jahumpa himself has just confirm to me - via telephone - that he has been asked to take over from John Bojang with effective from 1 December. I wholeheartedly welcome Mr Jahumpa in his new post, and I wish him good luck. Ebrima Ceesay, Birmingham, UK. Gambia L, I am receiving some interesting information regarding Dr Sidat Jobe, Gambia's Foreign Minister, which I intend to share with this forum IF the information is accurate. However, if you do not hear anything from me, regarding Dr Sidat Jobe, then take it that the information I received about him is inaccurate. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
