Clarification: Ex—Gambia's Daily Observer MD Faye Talks

Sunday, 27 January 2013 21:21

(JollofNews) – Reference to the above captioned story published in our yesterday's edition, Pa Malick Faye has issued the following clarification.

"Chief Manneh was not present that night, when I came across the article. We decided to drop it but it was already printed by the printers up to 2000 copies. According to the printer, if it is to be cancelled then he needs two additional reams of newsprint and a plate.

Then Lamin Kujabi, the then storekeeper was contacted and he said if he should supply the material, he would need to prove it to the MD as he has to authorise it for he is accounted on daily basis.

Lamin Kujabi is currently in the Gambia and he is there to attest to it. I cannot say it was Chief Manneh who did it as I was not present when the article was being laid. I have never mentioned Chief Manneh's name to Dr Taal prior to his alleged disappearance and after. Pa Malick Faye

Secondly the portion that reads I left the observer on a strong financial footing should have read- by the time I was leaving, we owe no bank and had a healthy fixed deposit account with Trust Bank.

Thirdly: On the relationship with Modou Sanyang: I had no relationship at all with the late Sanyang before I become acting MD and subsequently MD. It was JT Kujabi who played a central role in getting me confirmed as MD of Observer.

Modou Sanyang called me while I was around Banjulnding together with Alagie Jobe and Momodou Camara to come to his office. I went there and met him sitting with Kebba Dibba and he handed me my letter confirming me as MD of Observer."

I have apparently lately developed a keen interest in this person called Pa Malick Faye. My interest might not be the least connected with the issue on the floor for discussion but after reading what other people are saying about this man, I thought my input will serve to add credence to the dishonesty of him.I taught in the Gambia for 5yrs till I came to the States with my Gambian wife.
Now, I'll want Pa to know that if that was what he learnt in journalism, i.e. use his position to unsuspecting women's marital homes, then he must have something else coming. This piece will be just the beginning of what he should expect from me from now on. He's a very dishonest, lying rogue and not-a-free-born dirty little imp, because when he was asked a few weeks ago about the relationship, he denied even knowing my wife, let alone send an email to her asking for money including the pictures he sent. So Pa, know that the game is now on between us, and there's more after this little piece!!

I belief in 'innocence until proven guilty'

But, pa is giving me many reasons to go FRENCH on him

1. I know that sanyang's office was not located at the observer premises..How the hell does he promote u to MD, without talking to u, or ever see u perform a single task at Observer. Remember, he does not work there, n cannot wake up n make u MD without feeling there was a need to talk to u n see if u can do the job..

Even Jammeh contact nominees prior to naming them to positions..either your appointment is unconventional or u are assuming we are 2 stupid to understand how appointments are made

I think based on this model alone, u are loosing fast, any little credibility that may remain of u.

Do yourself n humanity good,,by simply shutting up!! Thank u!

Why people are blaming Mr Faye for Chief Manneh disappearance,H e has done nothing wrong,People are so quick to judge,This guy is also a victim,He has been used by the corrupt system in the Gambia.He was just doing his job,The NIA AND The Government should be blamed,Not the innocent defendless man who was just doing his job,
Pa malick is also a victim,

Some serious questions needed to be answered here by Pa Malick Faye.
1. Did he discussed with Chief Manneh about the said article being about to be cancelled.
2. When did Sarja Taal came to know about the article and who informed him.
3. When did he (Pa Malick) first became aware of Chief Manneh's arrest by the NIA.
4. Did he ever discussed the whereabouts of Chief Manneh with Sarja Taal since it has to do with his ( best friend).
Can you Pa Malick be very clear on these? Your beef with Nanama is another issue which I think you guys have to settle. Thanks !

Jollof Admin, please stop giving this desperate idiot an open space to spread his pre-meditated pack of lies. Since 2006 now is the time for Pa Malick to speak on Chief Manneh saga - someone he called his friend. A drowning man will hold onto the last straw and Pa Malick's move is no different. Just know that there is no hiding place for you.

HE is issuing a clarification so pls lets be us be reasonable. The act of reporting to him to the NIA was entirely Dr Taal's decision and no one else.
