Jeggan Grey Johnson has denied that he, Siddi Sanneh, Alhagie Kurang, and others are working on setting up a political party. “This is not true. But it’s a good idea!,” Mr. Johnson told the Freedom Newspaper when contacted for comment.
Earlier yesterday, a source contacted this medium to intimate to us about an upcoming political party to be spearheaded by the following people:
Seedi Sanneh, former Jammeh Foreign Minister
Alhagie Kurang of Jollof Tutors.
Jeggan Grey Johnson
Madi Jobarteh, Tango
Serign Cham former Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Finance
Isatou Jallow
James Monday
Our source said he stumbled through a document on March 21st, 2018, in which the aforementioned people were listed as purported members of the upcoming political party. Our source also said some Gambians on the ground were contacted to be part of the purported party, but they declined.
As reported in the news, Jeggan and Sidi Sanneh are part of a newly formed organization called Right2know Coalition. It’s a Civil Society Group. They are currently working with the UDP Serre-Kunda West MP Madi Ceesay to spearhead a campaign for Parliament to investigate the circumstances surrounding the Semlex contract debacle.
Semlex is a Belgian bio-metric company, which was recently awarded Gambia’s ID Card and Passport national documents contract through a single sourcing. No formal tender was convened by the government.
Right2know and MP Madi Ceesay felt that Pristine Gambia Limited was not treated fairly by the Barrow government. The Pristine CEO Abdou Draman Touray passed away recently.
