GAP to decide on standard-bearer’s fate tomorrow

By Adama Makasuba

Gambia Action Party has announced its readiness to decide on the fate of its standard-bearer on tomorrow (Wednesday), thus the party has launched an independent investigation into the nude scandal.

Lamin Bojang has been allegedly involved in a nude video circulating on social media. But he has denied any involvement.

Musa Batchilly, GAP’s secretary general said “The verdict will come on Wednesday; we will come to the public. I am not happy, we will give him 48 hours, he asked for 48 hours, and he is doing his investigations to prove his innocence.”

“He is our family member; we will never leave him. He respects us, he cares for us, and he respects the Gambian people,” he confirmed to The Voice.

According to him, “as a political party, we called an emergency summit, he is in a family meeting, we respect him and we talked. We heard him; we are going to give him 48 hours. The party is doing its investigation and he [Lamin Bojang] is doing his independent job to make sure he is clean.”

Branching over, he urged President Adama Barrow to screen his cabinet Ministers saying some of them didn’t have money before the advent of the coalition.

“The right time will come at the right moment, I will mention Ministers, institutions. I don’t talk but I calculate. Some of the Ministers before the coalition they were renting, they don’t even have money. I don’t need to mention names! When I am ready, I will mention the institutions,” he said.

He added that it is up to the president to put an eagle eye on them. An independent eagle eye which is invisible that would regulate the whole system.
