Some
four senior Gambia Armed Forces officials have been relieved of their duties,
acting GAF PRO Lieutenant Kemo Kanuteh confirmed to reporters yesterday.
Among
those that have been relieved is Brigadier General Modou Alieu Bah, former GAF
Director of Finance. It would be recalled that MA Bah was once Minister of
Interior.
Others
relieved of their posts are Brigadier General Modou Sowe, former Director of
Operations and logistics at GAF, Brigadier General Musa Savage, former Kanilai
Commander, and Lieutenant Colonel Mola Jarju Director of Intelligence and
Security.
Acting
PRO Kanuteh also confirmed that those arrested in relation to the December 31st
attack have been reinstated into the Gambia Armed Forces.
“We
are continuing to maintain the peace and security of the country, which is our
primary task, as well as any other task we may be given to do,” he said.
Lieutenant
General Kinteh was in the system and has done the job well and will continue
from where he stopped, he said of the new CDS.
He
added that, as military officers, it is normal for one to come and go and be
replaced by another.
