The outgoing president of The Gambia, Yahya Jammeh, has made a stinging indictment of the former Minister of Youth and Sports who recently tendered his letter of resignation prior to announcement of his sacking by state media.
The erstwhile Minister, Alieu K Jammeh,has since arrived in the Senegalese capital as the plot thickens on the political stalemate in the smallest country in mainland Africa.
President Jammeh lost elections to real estate developer,Adama Barrow, and conceded defeat only to alter his decision a week later.
During the swearing-in ceremony of his replacement at State House, Jammeh disclosed:
“We have seen disastrous failures in programmes that were meant to help the youth; we have seen the erosion of confidence between the Ministry and the GFF and let me make it very clear that the GFF is not opposed to Gambia government, but an arm of The Gambia Government with specified responsibilities.
"Unless the Minister of Youth and Sports and GFF president and staff work together, sports will not do overwhelmingly in the country especially football. The government has continued to invest hugely in the development of sports and football in particular".
