>Ebrima,
>Jammeh ordered some 40-odd tractors in January and had them packed at the
>Kanifing Industrial Estate. They have now been all dusted off and are
>being moved to State House in readiness for his show. He intends to
>distribute these machines to several constituencies, as part of his
>campaign strategy.
>He does not stand the dog of a chance in trying to get voters, and
> >particularly from the farmers. Yaya forgets the hardship he has >brought
>unto them; his disgraceful inability to manage two successive >trade
>seasons; crops rotting in the seccos; farmers not being paid >for their
>hard-earned harvest; his slaughtering of their innocent >children; his
>shady dealings with BIVAC that has completely destroyed >the economy and
>the re-export trade; his lazy and inept >administration which has
>transformed Gambia into a rouge and bankrupt >state.
>The Gambian voter is smarter than Yahya and his entire entourage of
> >sycophants combined. His philanthropic acrobatic display is not only
> >distasteful but exposes him further as a corrupt and shameless
> >individual. How can Yahya afford to buy 40 tractors to distribute as
> >gift to the electorate? Nothing will sway the resolve of the Gambian
> >people to boot him out of office; even one tractor for each Gambian >will
>not change the minds of the voters. What are the farmers going >to use the
>tractors for if his corrupt and inept Government cannot >put a simple
>mechanism in place to purchase the agricultural produce >of the Gambian
>farmers. SHAME ON YAHYA AND HIS REGIME.
