President Adama Barrow, of Gambia, has rejected the resignation letter of Justice Minister, Abubacarr Tambedou.
Reports say the President is apparently convincing the Minister, to rescind his decision to quit, over a controversy involving his elder brother.
The Minister, handed in his resignation, as his brother, Sheriff Tambedou, becomes enmeshed in a controversy over a leaked audio, in which he was heard talking to the wife of a former Spy Chief, and eight others, who are on trial for the murder of Election Reform Activist, Solo Sandeng, in April, last year.
The elder, Tambedou, has since recuse himself from the case as a State Prosecutor, following heavy criticism and spirited calls for his resignation.
Amie Bojang-Sissoho, President Barrow’s Press Aide, said Ba Tambedou’s resignation was rejected on the grounds that the Gambian leader still reposes enough trust and confidence in him, to handle the country’s justice portfolio, despite the controversy surrounding his elder brother.
What appeared to be Sheriff Tambedou’s voice, could be heard saying his brother, the Justice Minister, was irked by the idea of prosecuting the case.
The audio quickly went viral, sparking debates on social media, with Gambians calling on Sheriff Tambedou, to recuse himself from the case, given that his integrity has been compromised.
