The disgraced Mayor of the Banjul City Council Rohey Malick Lowe, has used her office to trick the United States Embassy to issue a visa to her Secretary one Isatou Njie, (not isatou Njie councilor) but the Mayor’s Secretary, so that Mrs. Njie, could reunite with her husband in the States, Freedom Newspaper investigations can reveal. She has been replaced by one Bintou. The visa was issued back in 2019. Mrs. Lowe had included Mrs. Njie on her delegation to the US, where she was booked to take part in some sort of a conference, but she never returned.
The Banjul Mayor, known for her dodgy schemes, included Mrs. Njie in her US delegation. The lady had in the past applied for a visa but was denied. She used to live between Box Bar and T road. She is a young short lady.
With the election of the dubious Mayor, she thought that she could use her office to traffic people into the United States. She cannot deny that she assisted Mrs. Njie to secure a visa. Mrs. Njie hasn’t return to The Gambia.
During her that US trip, Mrs. Lowe took a photo op with Ivanka Trump, the daughter of President Donald Trump. She met Ivanka at the conference. She has been using that picture to promote herself in Banjul.
Mrs. Lowe has been using that picture to promote herself in Banjul.
She was onetime convicted in Germany on drug trafficking related case. She later resettled in Sweden, where she lived for years on government funded welfare.
Mrs. Lowe has transformed the BCC as a UDP council. The majority of the security hired in that council are UDP supporters.
The Barrow government should send auditors to the BCC. Millions of dalasis would be found stolen in that council.
Not long ago, she claimed to have donated D10 million dalasis to the women of Banjul. Keep in mind that the Mayor’s monthly salary is less than D30,000 dalasis. The million dollar question is: where does she got such funds?
She has been using the council to promote her own political agenda. She recently gave D20,000 dalasis to one Fatou Faye, one of her supporters to acquire ID cards for the UDP supporters. Police interviewed Mrs. Faye and those who benefited from the Mayor’s ID Card project. The Mayor was never questioned. Mrs. Faye and co were released without any charges filed against them.
The European Union (EU) funds that were given to the council should also be investigated. She is yet to account for those funds.
Note: The Isatou Njie, we are referring to, is different from Isatou Njie, the Councilor of Banjul. Councilor Isatou Njie is still in Banjul, while the Mayor’s former Secretary Isatou Njie is in the United States. Thanks for your attention.
