do not know the functions of a Deputy Minister, I know Francis to be a

Augustine's and I have always admired his sobriety and sense of purpose. I
am confident he developed to become a valuable building engineer. If
anything I would be worried Francis does not get corrupted as a political
appointee. He's like a rose in a heap of cow dung.

United Kingdom where he studied building engineering from 1986 to 1990.
From 1990 to 1991, Mboge studied at the Nottingham Trent University where
he did his post-graduate diploma in building management before returning
home.

construction consulting company founded in 1992 to 2004. The firm was the
consultant for the School of Nursing and Medicine in Banjul as well as the
School of Public Health at the Gambia College. Bomon also took part in the
construction of the current government’s middle school project, and the
upgrading of the regional education centres for all the regions. He was
also a joint venture partner with an international consultancy firm on the
health sector requirement study for The Gambia in which it was responsible
for the works and infrastructure of that project.

one of Mboge’s major construction projects was the cost management for the
design of an alumina refinery and town in the bauxite region of Guinea

> Local Gov’t Minister Juwara
> Minister Lamin Waa Juwara studied Political Science in Bulgaria and is
very aufait with local government administration. He served as commissioner
in almost all the administrative regions in The Gambia during the First
Republic. He vied for a political office in 1992 as an independent
candidate in his native Niamina Dankunku Constituency, defeating a
candidate of the then ruling PPP in the parliamentary elections. He then
served as a member of parliament from 1992 to July 1994 when a change of
government took place. Waa joined the United Democratic Party (UDP) in
1997, becoming its propaganda secretary.
> Juwara later fell out with the UDP leadership over ideological
differences and went on to form his own party -the National Democratic
Action Movement (NDAM). In 2009, he publicly addressed an APRC meeting in
Niamina Dankunku during the president’s “Dailogue with Peoples Tour” during
which he extolled the leadership of President Jammeh and went on to throw
his weight behind the ruling party. He was later appointed governor of the
Lower River Region (LRR), a position he held until his recent appointment
to Cabinet. Before he became governor, Juwara was a nominated councilor at
the Brikama Area Council (BAC).
