Since President Adama Barrow made his famous speech on Koriteh day while addressing the Muslim Elders at State House during which he also referred to a former minister who made unpleasant remarks against his government’s street clearing exercise, virtually everyone is of the view that he was referring to me.
I wish to reiterate however that he was definitely not referring to me because not only that I never wrote anything negative about the exercise but I am also a supporter of the process, which I believe is necessary.
I therefore hope that next time round he should mention names rather than just making vague aspersions which would be open to speculations.
