Lt.
General Masanneh Kinteh has been appointed as President Adama Barrow’s close
military aide with immediate effect.
This
appointment was announced yesterday by the Coalition Spokesperson, Halifa
Sallah, at a press conference held at the Kairaba Beach Hotel.
General
Kinteh will work closely with President Barrow to help him execute his duties
firmly as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and security forces.
The
President is banking on his vast experience, as a veteran military officer and
a former Chief of Defence Staff of the Gambia Armed Forces, and as someone who
has knowledge of the Gambia Armed Forces.
He
was appointed deputy Chief of Mission at the Gambia Embassy in Havana, Cuba, in
2012.
After
over two decades in the military, Kinteh, a seasoned officer with a wealth of
command experience, is deemed competent enough to serve as President Barrow’s
close aide.
