DON’T SELL YOUR VOTES
Hamat tells supporters
By Amie Sanneh
Hamat Bah, on Friday night, at a meeting held in Kaur, has strictly warned his supporters not to sell their votes to any political party. To do so, he noted, means that they are selling their dignity and power.
Mr. Bah said now that Ramadan is approaching vote buyers have ample opportunities. He said, they will give out rice, sugar or money in exchange for the votes.
He encouraged the people to vote out the Jammeh Government by the ballot box. He asked residents to vote for them in order for them to change the country and develop Kaur as it is supposed to be.
He pointed out that they do not have problems with any tribe and urged them to vote for them during the September 22 polls.
Ousainou Darboe who also spoke at the meeting told his supporters that if they are voted in they will develop Kaur to the admiration of all. He promised that if voted in, they would not misuse or mismanage public funds but will rather utilise it for the benefit of the nation. Lawyer Darboe said they will fight against corruption and can remove it from the country. Job opportunities, he said, will be provided to the people.
He noted that Gambians are now ready to remove President Jammeh from power. A meeting was held in Ndowen, also.
