GAMBIA: Madam Fatoumatta Tambajang a resident of Kanifing Municipality and a
fula by tribe.
She is commonly known as Fatoumatta Jallow but still maintains
her late husband’s name.
She had been working abroad for many years wih the
UNDP, in New York and Liberia. She admitted to being a UDP sympathiser before
her travels. After which she decided to return home to her beloved Gambia.
She is without a doubt a vibrant politician who has
served in the former administration in its early days. She was one of those who
came to the rescue of the young junter Yahya Jammeh when they needed seasoned
diplomats and experience civil servants to lay down a foundation for a
successful transition from military rule to civilian.
However, to her utmost disappointment the young
military soldiers led by Jammeh decided to stay the course in power.
Mrs Tambajang was relieved of her duties after Yahya
Jammeh fell apart with his strong Vice Councillor Sana Sabally in the hay days
of the AFPRC.
Mr. Sabally is believed to be related to Ms Tambajang thus when
he was arrested she was let go as well.
