He was my classmate at Saint 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.

Two years after his high school graduation, he worked at the Department of Survey from 1984 to 1986 before leaving for Oxford Brookes University in the 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.
> Mboge was one of the founding partners of the Bomon Associate, a 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.
> Until Mboge’s appointment as deputy minister of Works and Communication Infrastructure, he was the manager for West Africa for an international construction consultant called GLEEDS. As a regional manager for GLEEDS, 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 Conakry.

> Background
> 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).
