"LET'S BURY THE HATCHET" FONI BINTANG NAM-ELECT
By Modou Jarju
Ebrima Solo Jammeh has recently organised a ceremony marking the celebration of his victory in his native village, Bulanjor. He granted an interview to this reporter during the ceremony.
Hon. Jammeh urged the people of his constituency to bury their political differences and work towards the interest of the constituency. He further mentioned that the constituency belongs to them. "If it develops, it will benefit all of us. The people should forget about the past and think of the future," he remarked.
Jammeh said his first aim is to unite everybody, notably women and youths to work for the betterment of the younger generation. He said his second aim is to open an account for his constituency, like a disaster relief fund which could be used to help those in need of assistance. He said his name, the chief's name, the Alkalo's name and the councilors name will not be in the account book. He said the signatories to the account will be those selected to oversee the disaster relief committee.
Asked whether he will be able to work with the local authorities. He said he is not out to challenge the chief, councilors and Alkalos. He added that he respected them and is willing to work with them for the interest of the constituency. He further said he is a man who has vision for his constituency and believes in peace, hard work and development. He said he will support bills that are in the interest of the people, and will never support bills that are not in the interest of the people.
