Obituary Announcement

It is with profound sadness that the UDP announces the passing of His Excellency Dr. Momodou Lamin Sidat Jobe, a distinguished senior member of the United Democratic Party (UDP), who departed this life on Sunday April 7, 2025, in Dakar, Senegal, after a prolonged illness.

Dr. Sidat Jobe was a revered statesman, scholar, and diplomat whose lifelong dedication to education, diplomacy, and democracy left an indelible mark on The Gambia and beyond. He served as a Lecturer at the University of Dakar (now Cheikh Anta Diop University) before embarking on a distinguished career at UNESCO, where he contributed significantly until his retirement.

His unwavering principles shone during his tenure as Minister of Foreign Affairs under President Yahya Jammeh’s administration, where he resigned in protest to the expulsion of a British diplomat without his consent. This act of courage defined his commitment to justice, leading him to become a vocal critic of the Jammeh regime. Dr. Sidat Jobe played a pivotal role in mobilizing Gambians in the diaspora to restore democracy, culminating in his appointment as Ambassador of The Gambia to France under the Coalition 2016 government.

A devoted member of the UDP Foreign Affairs Committee, he tirelessly championed the party’s growth and development. Dr. Sidat Jobe is survived by his three children, who remain a testament to his legacy of love and service. Funeral arrangements will be communicated in due course.

May his gentle soul rest in eternal peace.

Tribute to a Luminary

H.E. Dr. Momodou Lamin Sidat Jobe was a beacon of integrity and resilience. A scholar turned diplomat, he devoted his life to uplifting others through education, principled leadership, and unyielding advocacy for democracy. His resignation as Foreign Minister—a bold stand against authoritarianism—exemplified his moral fortitude, inspiring countless Gambians to join the fight for freedom.

Even in exile, Dr. Sidat Jobe’s resolve never wavered. He became a unifying force, bridging diasporic efforts to dismantle oppression, and later, as Ambassador, he restored dignity to Gambian diplomacy. His contributions to the UDP were rooted in a vision of unity and progress, ensuring the party’s voice resonated globally.

Beyond his public service, he was a loving father and mentor, nurturing future generations with wisdom and compassion. Though he has left us, his legacy as a defender of justice and democracy endures. Let us honour his memory by continuing the work he began.

“A nation is uplifted by the courage of its people—and Dr. Sidat Jobe was courage personified.”

Rest in power, dear Sir. Your light guides us still.

Life in some parts of the rural Gambia is unbearable as they are considered marginalized by those in authority as if they are not within the geographical location of The Gambia . It’s the responsibility of the central government to provide such a service but where they failed to deliver , any concerned opposition political party can help with the the provision of such social project to assuage burden on the less privilege in the society.

It’s evident that some villages in the rural Gambia lacks basic necessities which should be a requirement to all irrespective of where you might be living at , access to clean drinking water , medical facilities, schools , among others key areas should exist in all communities of The Gambia . Key among the list is access to potable drinking water , the government of the Gambia should prioritize this for the people that live in hard to reach areas such as Samuel K***a , Banni, Touba Sama all in CRR South .

The residents of this communities endure so much hardship just to provide portable drinking water for their families whilst the government continue
to neglect them such a devastating conditions. Bravo to What’s -on Gambia for being there for the communities of the Gambia by leading a fundraising initiatives to which lead to the provision of such services to the the disadvantage communities in the country .

Musa Yali Bachilly Bachilly , The leader of GAP has called on the president to place ban on gambling and betting which is considered lucrative to young people . He stated that gambling and betting was banned during the time of president Jammeh who recognized the degree of destruction it could cause to the society but ban as lifted by Barrow’s government.
Musa Bachilly argued that , this activity has broken the moral value of its players , encouraged laziness among them as many considered it the quickest venture to acquire wealth . He stated that this attracted even the attention of children within the age bracket of 10 years whose desire to education has been shredded by bad this practice . He added that gambling and betting encourages other forms of practices such as theft and robbery .

The flames of tension need to be extinguished which was ignited by the mob justice through the ex*****on of the 16 Fulanis in Endo state recently .
The Northern side of Nigeria is mostly inhabited by Muslims which composed of the Fulani and Hause tribes .

This action has caused outraged among Nigerians who were divided in opinions over this issue .The tension seems to be out of control between the Fulani and the other tribes in the south , the authorities in Nigeria must act swiftly to prevent blood shed as the people in North threatened severe revenge against the southerners should government failed to address the situation. The Fulanis are accused of kidnapping , r**e , killings and deliberate destruction of crops belonging to others .

Performance management strategies or mechanisms should be introduced and enforced in our public sectors for improved performance.
What is mostly evident within the government sector is the lack of dedication towards work as officials do arrive to work late and leave very early before the close of the day . In addition, some people could be seen in their offices interacting with their phones ignoring the task at hand , this ill approach largely undermines the progress of our country . The leadership must assure Gambian that they care about the development of the country by monitoring people that are occupying our public offices through performance appraisal in the interest of producing good result for the country .

The following actions should be considered to improve effective service delivery within the government

1. All employees must arrived at work before 8:00 sharp

2. No one should be allowed to close before the official closing time

3. Electronic signing system should be introduced in all the departments

4. Performance appraisals should be introduced and be followed

5. No be should be allowed to used a phone till break time etc

6. Government should give performance report of all the Government department

Health care service in the public hospitals is described to be appalling. This condition pushed so many Gambians to find alternatives to the treatment for their ailments at the private clinics or hospitals which is considered to have highly qualified trained Doctors , sophisticated medical equipment among others . The desire for this propelled by the hope for restoration of health is on increase .
It’s part of the culture of these private clinics or hospitals to charge their patients neck breaking sum of money as they are profit driven entity based on the hopes for receiving high standard healthcare services.

What is more puzzling is that , most of these patients will end up being referred to the Government hospitals for the treatment of their ailments.

In my opinion I considered this to be a fraud being implemented by these entities .
