Professor (commonly
abbreviated as Prof.) is an academic rank at universities and other
post-secondary education and research institutions of higher education in parts
of the world. Therefore it needs hard work, dedication, loyalty, commitment and
devotion to earn such a prestigious achievement in the 21st century.
It is in that not I
write to inform you that you are in the wrong, erroneous, wide of the mark
direction. However professors are not
Jinn’s but at list they are expected to serve as role models especially to the
youth rather than been a person that will undermine and poison the minds of the
youth.
Professor to be frank
with you I am extremely disappointed, saddened, dissatisfied, upset,
disenchanted, thwarted and let down as per your recent allegation on Hon. Mai
Ahmad Fatty the Minister of interior.
Please be informed that too, I am not a member of the GMC neither UDP party. Despite
of our difference in political ideology that doesn’t mean that I have to
swallow all data.
On 26th June at 10:56 pm as per your Face book post “How could Mai Fatty purchase a D10,000,000 house when he only earned D50,000 x 6 = D300,000 from January to June? Comrades, Mai Fatty should answer to how he acquired this money because there is no paper trail from a bank loan”.
Prof. Conteh as a fraud
examiner as you claimed to be one, you have every reason to discuss potential
fraud issue. But it is also fair to give Hon. Mai Fatty the benefit of the
doubt until when he declares his assets. And I am pretty sure that the source
of purchase would be included in the assets declaration form if your allegation
is true.
There should not be any
jumping to conclusions on issues like this unless there is irrefutable proof of
purchase. Rumors including unfounded ones are rife in this country these days which
can lead to conflict if not properly managed. One needs to act with caution
accusations such as this one should be taken with a pinch of salt in the
atmosphere of character assassinations prevalent in our country. My advice on
this case will be not to over speed. If I were Prof I would have wait for the
assets declaration deadline of July.
I am not surprise of
Mai, but I am surprised of a PhD holder, accounting lecturer and a certified fraud
examiner who verify information openly without single evidence. Prof. Conteh If
you really mean of your acquisition without proof then am having pity, mercy
and misfortune for your students at the university.
For now I think Mai
fatty will not be that naive to involve in such? As his life and movements are
under the microscope for scrutiny. I don’t know why are you in a rush to report
such a story when you are vying for presidency. What goes around comes around. Therefore
do on to others as you expect them to do on to you Prof.
I will also recommend
to you that never call for demonstration say what you want people to know but
don’t call for demonstration please for God in heaven sake. Calling for people
to take to the street can be illegal if mathematically interpreted wrongly. It
is also an offense that is in black and white if it turns to deadly and you
will be held responsible.
The question one might
be quick to ask will be? When did he Mai
bought the house? Who did he buy it from? Where is the house located? How was
the payment made? Whose name is in the house as the owner? Do you have any
paper evidences that Mai bought that house and at that price? How can you call
for people to demonstrate when all your allegations are based on hearsay? How
credible are your sources? Why are they leaking this information to you and not
the relevant authorities on the ground? Or even the private the media?
Prof. Conteh, are you
still not convinced that there is an assets declaration to be made by President
Barrow's ministers latest by July 15, 2017. Thus, it is prudent to safe your
arguments until such a time.
On 27 June at 12:15am
your letter address to Mai Fatty which reads
“Dear Hon Mai Fatty,
According to three
independent sources, you have purchased a D10,000,000 house in the Gambia. I
have posted this on Face book to enable you to refute the purchase.
As a fraud examiner, I
have an obligation to substantiate the denial of this purchase. In other to
provide authenticity to your denial, I request that you provide documentation
if you are renting the property. As a result of a rental agreement, you should
provide the date and any receipts and payments to a payee from the beginning
rental date to June 5, 2017.
Sincerely, Dr. Lamine
Jassey Conteh”
I don’t think you
understand the concept of politics. We have enough media outlets and
journalists to investigate and even report on such allegations. Mai will never
respond to these childish allegations of yours. If you thinks that a so called
leader of a political party in the making should be ranting on face book like a
teenager you must be under the weather in the head.
I am sure of that
during your tenure to professorship and being a fraud examiner you haven’t came
across the guideline of investigation. I will advise you to be familiar acquainted
and conversant, with these key points below.
1. Decide whether to investigate. ...
2. Take immediate action, if necessary. ...
3. Choose an investigator. ...
4. Plan the investigation. ...
5. Conduct interviews. ...
6. Gather documents and other evidence. ...
7. Evaluate the evidence. ...
8. Take action
Thank you!!
