Mrs Samba-Christensen has issued a statement through her sister-in-law to the WHOLE WORLD that she did not make the comments that a Gambian "journalist" attributed to her. . Anybody who do not take her for her word is not looking for the TRUTH. Even Joe Sambou, who is also misled by Observer article has offered sincere apology to Mary Samba-Christensen. 

THE WOMAN HAS SPOKEN, she does not need any organisation to speak for her.

Thank God, those "journalists" did not put the Vice President's words in Mary's mouth.

  MR JOW;
  THE OBSERVER DOES NOT HAVE AN IMPECABLE TRACK RECORD!!!.I SUGGEST YOU TAKE
  YOU OWN ADVISE, TO PUT IT MIDLY, COOL OFF, UNTIL THE REPORTER IN QUESTION
  COMES UP WITH PROOF OR SOME EVIDENCE THAT INDEED MARY SAMBA-CHRISTENSEN MADE
  THESE COMMENTS/REMARKS.SHE HAS DEFENDED HER HONOR BY PUBLICLY REFUTING THE
  ALLEGATIONS - AND WILL NOT SHUT UP TO BUSINESS AS USUAL  BECAUSE IT IS NOT!.
  I TAKE IT YOU ARE SUGGESTING WE TAKE EVERYTHING THE OBSERVER SAYS AS GOSPEL
  TRUTH.WELL WE ARE ALL IN FOR BIG TROUBLE IF WE DO.I NEED NOT SAY ANYMORE
  RIGHT NOW.
  DAGMAR CHRISTENSEN
