Rohey Samba-Jallow has been appointed director of communications, outreach and media for the Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC).
Mrs. Samba-Jallow will oversee the work of a team of communications and reconciliation officers and work closely with the Executive Secretary and Commissioners to deliver on the mandate of the TRRC.
Rohey is a prolific writer, a published author and an award-winning poet with more than 15 years’ experience as a media analyst, commentator and columnist.
Following her appointment Mrs. Samba-Jallow stated: “I am excited to work with a wide range of experts in different programme areas of the TRRC to enhance social awareness and contribute towards restoring the rights of victims of human rights abuses of the Jammeh regime and building a ‘NEW’ Gambia that is aware, conscious and premised on the slogan ‘Never Again.’”
“We are elated to have Rohey on our team,” said TRRC Deputy Executive Secretary Musu Bakoto Sawo. “She possesses very unique qualities that made her the leading candidate for this position. Her technical skills coupled with her experience won us over. She is a great addition to the team.”
