Sister O
Thanks for your response,you know quite well that you have completely failed to respond to the content of the postings in your answer,totally ignoring the fundamentals and giving a classic political response,i.e. write about something else.
That is the response you have chosen to give,others may read into your response something that you have not written, I could not possibly comment on that. |

Toubab I think it would be better for a member of government to answer those questions really because they should have the STATs to prove them one way or another. As eye witness I have seen more cars than ever before in Gambia nn 18 year period. The Middle class is up and coming and a lot of the people who I've met are working in sustainable jobs. I've also observed and taught young adults in a secondary school in the provinces who have a positive attitude towards working for a living and being financial independent so that they can contribute to their families as well. I found it's good to listen to the people. I know community mobilsers whose jobs are to engage with the Youth to pursuade them to take up farming and butchery. It is also a well known fact that if you go to Kanilai you're able to buy livestock at much cheaper price than anywhere else. This is where business start ups go to purchase their livestock at subsidized prices.
Imported goods have gone up due to oil prices and hazardous whether conditions. To be fair more Gambians are growing there own and that' definitely the way forward.Basically I think that Donor countries would be much happier to support sustainable business rather than one off while elephant ones. After all there must be a time when the recipients can become self sufficient without being continually dependent on the Donor don't you think?
peace

Sister omega, there was no redtape in this as there are no british agencies on the ground responsible for the administration of this money. This was direct aid to the Gambia delivered straight into the hands of the government of Nasiiru Dean for the adminstration and financing of essential projects and they squandered it all, not once but several times.
You pretend like you know gambia when you don't know anything. All your info are contaminated with lies and half truth.

The fact that yaya Jammeh goes into full time business, not paying tax and milking the Gambian finance and economy ILLEGALLY is crucial evidence of UNFAIR TRADING. Sister Omega, you flatly refused to answer this vital question. Does a head of state need going into business to bring prices down?
Sister, you are playing smart and not being clever. |

Karamba the posted you quoted was subsequently deleted by me as I hadn't the time to finish it.
I just wanted to know before answering your question whether or not it was normal withi the Head of State Club to have net worth just in case Jammeh was an exception rather than a rule. I leave it you'll to make a judgement as my time is limited at the moment to engage fully in the debate. So here goes : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_heads_of_state_and_government_by_net_worth

In the case of Gambia Yaya Jammeh is a full time business rival to better players in the ring. Sister Omega are you seeking to justify that being head of government, a person is OK to stamp out others as another show of Gambian patriotism? UNFAIR TRADING involvement of your patron Yaya Jammeh is what the matter is about as the Gambian economy sinks. |

But it is not you who lives all her life in The Gambia. It is me and others. That means I know better.

Ok. lets turn to the facts; Sister O claim that most of this £2.2million that the British government gives to the Gambia in direct aid annually is eaten by redtape. Do you want to tell me that she is right in that respect; that the British government is so reckless that they throw away my tax like that? As a matter of fact, this is direct aid delivered right into the hands of the Gambia government with no british agency involvement in its appropiation and management. Instead of putting the blame squarely on where it lies, sister O is providing a cover for Government corruption and inefficiency in the Gambia with her redtape excuse. I find that to be totally insensitive and unacceptable. It is simply a groteque untruth.
I have worked in the civil service as a middle grade guy. So I know how this government operates. Therefore, Sister O cannot pretend to know more than me for I have worked it and lived it. Besides, I am an indegine citizen.

I think you misunderstand what I mean, I mean that Sister O played the political game well ACCORDING TO THE POLITICAL AFFILIATION that she supports,I did not write that I believed what she wrote was correct,in fact I agree with the stance taken by Gambiabev which is the exact opposite to that taken by Sister O ,red tape exists and has always with the British but not to the great extent that everything is swallowed up by it as Sister O would have us believe.
