The 50 million dalasis civil suit filed by the environment minister against The Alkamba Times‘s reporter is set for hearing tomorrow, Nov. 12, at 10:30 am at the Banjul High Court.

The plaintiff, Rohey John Manjang, claims journalist Kebba Ansu Manneh, TAT Chief National/ Investigative Correspondent, wrote an article that contained “malicious and unfounded allegations” about her. She is seeking the court to order the defendant to write and publish an “unreserved apology” on the TAT website and other platforms where the article was published, in addition to a 50 million dalasi compensation.

TAT’s investigative article, authored by Kebbe Ansu and published on June 19, 2024, included allegations of D150,000 being paid to a bank account belonging to the minister. The amount is allegedly from a sum of D200,000 generated from the sale of a Mahogany tree that stood on the outskirts of Kiang Kaif.

However, Minister Manjang, who was the former governor of the Lower River Region, has regarded the allegations as unfounded and decided to take legal action, which she told parliament is “in line with due process and her rights under the laws of The Gambia.”
