National Assembly leader claims bloggers ‘insulted’ Gambia’s leadership
A majority leader of Gambia’s National Assembly has
accused bloggers of putting stories online that “insulted” the country’s
leadership.
“Some people are blogging and putting stories on
the internet and other websites insulting the leadership of this country,” Hon.
Fabakary Tombong Jatta claims while speaking during an adjournment debate of
the Assembly on Dec. 19, 2012.
This angle of the news is given little prominence
by local media and can only be found embedded in stories on the papers it
appeared. Instead the local media focused on the issues of mainstream media
that we’ve heard over and over, a local journalist and blogger told The North Bank Evening Standard.
