>Hello Coach,
>
>The biggest problem facing us as a country is RAMPANT CORRUPTION never
>experienced in the history of The Gambia.
>Few examples:
>
>1. Tender notice for the supply of petrol appeared in the papers TODAY, the
>deadline for the submission of bids was at NOON TODAY, but the contract was
>awarded to an Arab businessman TODAY(Only in Gambia). Jammeh and his
>cohorts think that we are fools. This scam is to fleece the Gambian people
>once again. The Niegrian crud recently allocated to the Gambian people by
>the Government of Nigeria is the main reason for this scam so that Jammeh,
>Famara Jatta, and the rest of the Gang of Six can line their pockets.
>
>2. The Mandinaba-Soma Road contract was personally awarded by Jammeh
>himself to a foreign firm without tendering it.  Now the Gambian taxpayer,
>already overtaxed is expected to pay for the cost of the entire road
>project because the entire project is to be financed by Government.  How?
>When the government is already running an unsustainable budget deficit.
>
>3. Famara Jatta with a salary of less than $500 per month has recently
>completed a mansion costing 2 million dalasi.  How can he explain that to
>the next Commision of Inquiry?
>
>4. Mrs. Yankuba Touray, wife of the Secretray of State for Tourism travels
>to London every week with cartons of contraband cigarettes using Gambia
>Experience tourist flights which costs her nothing because her husband is
>the Tourism Minister.  Well, the illegal activities of the lady are being
>monitored by Her Majesty's Customs Department.
>
>The level of corruption has reached such alarming proportions that
>something has to give; it will and soon.  Gambians will soon take to the
>streets to demand for the resignation of Jammeh and the APRC Government.
