>Following the announcement of this year's groundnut price (D2,600 per
>tonne), the farming community has once again seen the untrustworthiness of,
>and the liar in Yahya Jammeh. Firstly, he promised them that he will
>announce the price of groundnut on the 12 November and that the buying
>season will start on the 15th November, 2000. As we all know, Yahya failed
>to fulfill his promise on both counts for reasons I stated in my last
>posting to you. External resources will not be released to finance this
>year's buying season unless and until, Yahya stops his corrupt practices
>and his collaboration with unsavory characters to further syphon off funds
>meant to alleviate the suffering of our people. Take the case of the HILO
>company of Atlanta. This is a company, incorporated in the State of
>Georgia, with a total capitilisation of a mere $130,000 and you expect this
>company to buy the total groundnut crop which is extimated this year to be
>in the region of between 150,000 to 175,000 tones. Amadou Samba, Tarik and
>their HILO Company cannot raise financing to buy this year's crop. I know,
>as a matter of fact, that the company cannot but 7,000 tonnes as at this
>moment and yet they are instisting on total monopoly of the trade; can you
>believe that? The whole thing has turned into a very sad joke
>
>Yahya promised the farmers during his tour that he will increase the price
>of groundnut from D2,800 in 1999/2000 season to a minimum of D3,200 in
>2000/2001. Instead, this year's price has just been announced at D2,600;
>D200 lower than last year. The farmers are naturally disappointed,
>dejected and have decided to sell their nuts to Senegal so that they can ,
>at least, be paid for their season's labour and sweat. Once again, Yahya
>has failed the farmer. It is lies upon lies for Yahya. Yahya must go and
>go he will.

>Ebrima, you can request Bamba Laye and others in the Atlanta area to look
>into this funny HILO Company with total capitilisation of $130,000
>registered in the State of Georgia, whose CEO visited Banjul last week but
>because of the fact that I had gone up country, I could not meet him to
>extract additional information about his intent and those of his corrupt
>collaborators in the name Yahya Jammeh, Amadou Samba, Tarik Musa and Modou
>Dibba to further extort the Gambian population. By way of additional
>information, the British fellow I mentioned ealier is not the owner of the
>HILO company but rather he is a front and act as a freelancer, at a price ,
>of course. These people must be exposed and if possible legally prosecuted
>in the US for corruption. In case the Softwear engineer is in anyway
>involved, his Employer will be informed of his extracurricula activities.
>We will fight you everywhere you may be. The likes of you, Yahya Jammeh
>and his entire goivernment are destroying our country. We will not sit
>back and let the country be destroyed further by a group of corrupt
>illiterates.
