I have worked with Baboucarr Gaye for some years. He is highly principled, courageous and accurate in doing his work.

What admires most about him is that he had tirelessly contributed to the professional development of many Gambian journalists, including myself.

His death has shocked me to the bone, it is a great loss to the country and the journalism fraternity as a whole.

While I extend my sincere condolences to Gaye's bereaved family, I pray that his sould rest in perfect peace.

While i admire your tireless efforts in informing us about the the death of My Gaye, i would also like to advice you to recheck your grammer because some of you who call yourselves journalists are not setting a good example when it comes to your writing. Am sure Mr Gaye would have been dissappointed to read such gabbage and childish writeup on him. Just a friendly advice.

This is really a very sad news. Baboucarr was a great asset to the profession of journalism in the Gambia. His efforts towards upholding the principles of the profession went a long way in enhancing the skills of many young journalists in the country.

Let me add that I am saddened to read a story on such a professional and thorough man written with so many mistakes. I think the management of this paper should learn a lesson from Baboucarr and train the writers and editors to add value to the profession of journalism in the Gambia.
