Malamin Jatta, Director of Lands died last night during an automobile accident, sources close to the Lands Ministry said. The accident has been blamed to bad roads. Gambia's road network is in deplorable condition. Almost all the roads are in tatters.
Mr. Jatta is being laid to rest at this hour. The Minister of Local government and lands and other top government officials were at Mr. Jatta's burial this afternoon. He is said to be a native of Banjul. He later moved to the Kombos. May his soul rest in perfect peace. Ameen.
