Expressing disappointment over the article published by The Sun online on 16th January, 2020, the Minister of Tourism and Culture has made it cleared that government will exposed those that are behind the article.
The Tourism and Culture Minister, Honorable Hamat NK Bah, answering questions from members of the culture, travel and tour reporters during the tourism facilities tour answered rhetorically that “everybody has read the article published in The Sun online. The article was developed by Gambians here to misinform and destroy the country and as well destroy the achievement of government of Adama Barrow.”
Minister Bah went on saying that “those behind it will be exposed, authorities is working with forensic experts to establish the whole truth about the article.”
Without much ado “those that found wanting will be brought before the law because the government will get to the truth of the matter.”
He disclosed that government has gone very far and advance in getting all the facts adding that “in any profession whatever you do, you should place your country first because what matter is The Gambia, wherever you go your home is always the best no matter what you have, we need to be patriotic.”
However, the said article published in The Sun online with the headline ‘Inside ‘paedo paradise’ The Gambia where sex beasts are buying African children and toddlers to rape’ caused despair not only within the sector but across the country taking into consideration the story line, which states “tragic Gambian children are being sold to British paedophiles for as little as £2-a-time by their desperate parents.”
