Alagie Saidy- Barrow, the former TRRC Investigator has diagnosed the growing deepening rift within the National People's Party (NPP). 

The recent leaked audio of Ebrima Ceesay, former  Secretary to Cabinet of President Barrow, saying all of them will go to jail if the party collapses has added to the growing fracas in the party.

He blamed the National People's Party (NPP) for its underperformance in the recent Parliamentary and council elections.

Mr Barrow made these remarks on Tuesday 2, May 2023 at the West Coast Radio, Coffee Time show with Peter Radio.   

Alagie Barrow, described the leaked audio of Ebrima Ceesay and other growing feud within NPP as lack of core values in the party.

In his own words: “Ebrima Ceesay's message to his NPP colleagues got my attention for three reasons; it affirmed my believe that when you coalesce within anyone or anything other than shared values, it is only a matter of time before the centre will not hold any longer. Things will eventually fall apart. What holds the party together is not shared values, but a weak thread that binds individual  interests” he stated.

He added: “The fact that Ebrima Ceesay is worried about him and his colleagues going to prison brings home my position that African leaders immersed themselves so much that  leaving power becomes existential threat to them. So they will do anything to stay in power for eternity. They feels that prison awaits them because of their corruption” he concluded.

On Friday, the Kanilai ferry had experienced engine failure near the turning buoy en route to the Barra lander. Due to the severe weather conditions, the ferry was unable to reach the lander and eventually drifted towards the beach.  Lamin Jammeh, a frequent traveller from Banjul to the Barra route expressed his frustration, saying it will delay the transportation of goods and services. This he added will hinder the socio-economic development of the country. “As a frequent traveller of Banjul Barra ferry crossing, it will be very stressful to see the closure of the Ferry service, it's the fastest way one can use when going to North Bank compared to using the south Bank. The closure of the Ferry service will delay the transportation of good and service from and to the urban center this will seriously hinder the socio- economic development of t
