SUSAN WAFA RELIEVED
Mrs. Susan Wafa Ogoo, who until yesterday was the Secretary of State for Trade, Industry and Employment, was relieved of her appointment.
According to a GRTS radio announcement yesterday, she is relieved of her appointment with effect from yesterday, 20th February, 2007. The announcement states that the President did so in accordance with section 71 (4) (b) of the constitution. Mrs. Ogoo has been one of the longest serving ministers in the AFPRC/APRC administration of President Jammeh. She was among the first ministers to be appointed when the AFPRC took the helm of state in July 1994.
She first became minister of Tourism and Culture in 1994 and remained so until after the election of President Jammeh in 1996 when she was again appointed as Secretary of State for Tourism and Culture. However, after President Jammeh was re-elected in 2001, she was appointed Secretary of State of a new Department, the Department of State for Fisheries, Natural Resources and the Environment in March 2002. She served in this position until a curious cabinet reshuffle in 2006 soon after the 2006 presidential election when her name was conspicuously absent from the list of cabinet members.
Soon afterwards she was appointed Secretary of State for Trade, Industry and Employment. She remained in that position until her termination yesterday.
This makes Mr. Edward Singhateh to be the longest serving minister. Singhateh and Jammeh were part of the four who led the 1994 coup d'etat. The other two were jailed after an alleged coup plot in January 1995. One of them Sadibou Hydara died in jail while the other, Sana Sabally, now lives in exile after his release from jail.

| She is a survivor. How she managed to survive so long just amazes me. She knows how to manage her boss. Enjoy your retirement Susan. Nobody ever made it this far. |

| Good Riddance to Susan Waffa Ogoo. The poor lady was definitely a total waste of space. What a pity to the Gambian Tax Payers |
