Under Bakary Njie, there was almost complet autonomy with performance contracts signed with the NIB. Targets set and management given the latitude to operate independent of the invisibile hand of the state. You are bound to have results.
Now, its the opposite. All performance contracts have beeen abolished and only one person pulls the strings. Certainly Mr. Ndow is not responsible for that. Our biggest problem is the erosion of authority of office of senior public officials to such a point that messengers are almost co-managing Directors. It all depends on the color of your tie you wear.
I concur to some degree. Abou Mboob though had a short stint, he was known to have strong financial discipline, but the mafia group within misled him and got him into trouble. Mr. Ndow is to blame to some extent, he was there before and should have known the terrain better. The mafia is very strong group they got the former Finance Director Foday Ceesay sacked along with Abou during the $3Million scam with a fictitious company in swiss or Germany can't remember now. Its Mr. Ndow who made Gamtel's coffers free for all. For example during the World u-17 championship in Peru, besides donating handsomely towards the preparation of the team, he authorised the financing of the trip to peru of a number of people some who were even non-Gamtel staff and even paid them per diem. Its insane!!!
Madiba what kind of "mafia group" are you talking about? You appear to be "AN INSIDER!" as from these statements which appear to have both public and private information.
QUOTES FROM YOU:
"Amongst the blunders Omar did was to take notorious directors as his advisers.
Prior this communication problems Gamtel was said to be in serious financial crisis.I hope all the hopeless old fools parading Gamtel House are shown the red card. The young ones coming in should know that Gamtel is a National institution and Gambians and non-Gambians deserve better services."
Hope its not going to be detrimental against you if you are within the system |

Kobo,
Zip in matters that affect the general lives of all Gambians? Wat are you insinuating here? They are in public offices. So its the business of all those know to tell others the much they need to know abt a public institution and how some those entrusted public servants behave. |

Madiba, There are still unamswered questions! I do understand that you served for 15 years as a civil servant, recent developments and your comments and analysis of Gamtel's systems and Management appears to show you knew them as AN INSIDER!
On "MAFIA" mentioned, who are they and what characteristics can you briefly highlight in controlling, manipulating and mis-directing affairs of Directors, other high profiles and Public corporations, to the extent of your comments about Gamtel? Can you substabtiate please?
Now the New Managing Director is Katim Touray, hope BALANGHARR SOCIETY (mainly with Tourays' influence for e.g Dr. Gumbo Touray. Ganyi Touray, Cherno Touray, Kebba Touray etc) is not another kind of "GAMBIAN SICILIAN FAMILY" gaining strenght SOCIALLY AND POLITICALLY? |

Thanks Madiba for sharing what appears to be reliable information and vindicated yourself as AN INSIDER!
I do hope that others would benefit from Freedom Newspaper's information provided(irrespective of its lack of credibility and reliability), provoked by my questions and insinuations.
Your efforts really cleared the air for now
