The
Gambia Radio and Television Services is mourning the death of veteran
broadcaster Sarjo Barrow, who died at his home in Brusubi last Sunday. The
seasoned journalist was 66.
Born
in Niamina Kudang on December 26 1953, the famous newscaster had more than
three decades of experience in journalism. Staff at the state broadcaster
including Director General Abdou Touray and the director of Radio Programmes,
Haddy Badji described Sarjo as an outstanding broadcaster and public announcer
whose voice had delivered news to people across The Gambia and beyond for
decades. He will be dearly missed for his work to particularly inform local
language listeners and grassroots communities in the Gambia. He was laid to
rest on Monday at 2 p.m.
