"Upon receipt of Jallow's letter, Daily
Observer's editorial board sat down
to determine the publishability of
Jallow's contents on KOro's death. We
agreed that they were serious
allegations concerning senior members of the
Ruling Council. And since there
was no way to validate Jallow's allegations,
we decided not to publish them,
but only to put out an 'overview' story on
Jallow's resignation
letter."
This is quite an interesting
revelation from your end Bro. I am curious (and I am sure many on the list are)
to know why your editorial board decided to discard Ebous' revelations at a time
when it could have served justice in giving Koros' family and the entire Gambia
an idea of the actual circumstances surrounding Koros' death. Don't you think
that publishing the letter would have compelled others with some knowledge of
what happened to come forward with their own version? Don't you feel that you've
done some disservice to the people by not publishing the letter or atleast
hinting at why you think the letter should not be published?
I am also interested in knowing if Foroyaa had a copy
of this letter and what have been done about it with regards to their own
investigation into the matter? I will be glad if Mr. Sallah could clarify
this for me.
Have a great week and stay
safe.
