NEW MUNYAGEN ALKALO SPEAKS
The newly appointed Alkalo of Manyagen asserted that as the appointed Alkalo of the village, he is calling on all residents of Manyagen to be law biding and to be paying their rates and taxes on time. Waka Jobe, the newly appointed Alkalo of Manyagen made these remarks in an interview with this reporter at his home town in Manyagen. Regarding the crisis prior to his appointment, Waka told this reporter that the crisis is now resolved, adding that it was as a result of denying the people their birthright, by giving it to another person. Waka asserted that his appointment letter came together with the letter of termination of the acting Alkalo, Tamsir Ngum Jassey. “Now that an Alkalo is appointed, taking into consideration the traditional line of inheritance, we should all come together and work for the interest of the Village,” said Waka. Waka asserted that he harbors no ill feeling against anyone, be it the chief of the district, Jim Fatma Jobe, Tamsir Ngum Jassey or any other resident of the Village. Waka promised that he would preside over the affairs of Manyagen in consultation with the residents of Manyagen, the Chief, as well as the Governor of the division.
Readers would recall that at one time after the death of the former Alkalo, Alhaji Lamin Jobe, an Alkaloship crisis developed at the village as published by Foroyaa. However, the crisis deepened when the chief of the area appointed acting Alkalo, outside the family of the Late Alkalo who are said to be original settlers of the village. The crisis was finally resolved when the Secretary of State for Local Government and Lands appointed Waka Jobe, the eldest son of the late Alkalo as the newly appointed Alkalo of Manyagen. Attempts to reach the chief and the ex-acting Alkalo proved futile as this reporter was informed that the chief was in Banjul.
