| Where are the notorious griots? I mean sissi Jahumpha, and the others. I was thinking Yanks' tremendous work was going to earn him the position of the vice presidency. How wrong i was!!! |

Dalton, that would have spelt certain doom for the Gambian economy.
The president and him eating at the those levels would certainly deplete our meager treasury.
Does anyone know how much a minister earns? I took a picture of the new 3 storey mansion that Yanks is building. When I asked the workers how much it was worth they said approximately D3, 000 000 Dalasi (approximately $100,000 US). Where is he getting the funds for this? No need to answer this question as we all already know the answer. Corruption must be dealt with at all levels!

Justice must be served as impunity brings more repression and corruption! |

Aku ,
Remember the commission of enquiry?Yanks wife Mamie{Ithink} is doing business between Gambia,Europe and America!Maybe she is funding the construction.Ofcause I personally think not but remember Yanks might defend his huge wealth on his business lady wife's shoulders.We all know even 20years being a minister can't buid anyone in a Gambian society a mansion worth 3m Dalasis.Imagine howmany fans you kind of feed or take care of and I think all these must come from one's pay or except if you have huge businesses within and abroad.
I think this would give you an idea
Peace

| The Cabinet Reshuffle is just a whitewash. Nothing has changed for APRC and this is just proof that the people made a mistake by giving Jammeh another 5 years |

Now that President Jammeh has completed his Cabinet Reshuffle, I only hope the young Kebba Sanyang will make a DIFFERENCE. The Office of Attorney General has been a laughing stock with reputable lawyers being hired and fired indiscriminately. According to my records, Kebba Sanyang is the 9th Lawyer to be apointed as Attorney General since July 1994, compared to the PPP regime thought ruled for 30 years but only used 3 lawyers- ML Saho, Fafa Mbai and Hassan Jallow.
The onus lies on Mr Sanyang to give the Justice System a new lease of life. Mr Kebba Sanyang should always act with dignity and not to allow his office being used as repression against APRC critics We hope Mr Kebba Sanyang will take a bold move to resolve the political crimes committed APRC. |
