Gassa,

You continue to show how much of a coward you are, especially when you are
intellectually cornered with facts about the deteriorating state of the
Gambia. Not only that i'm beginning to take the view that you have the moral
fibre of a water melon.

My response to your post exhibited empirical evidence - evidence from your
own gov't's Budget speeches - that the lot of the average Gambian is in dire
straits despite the fact that this roguish gov't has been borrowing heavily
in the name of "development efforts". To solve the conundrum, i posed the
question:

<<The question for you, if you have the capacity to answer it - i doubt you
do; given the complex nature of the question - is why after all the
so-called sprouting of infrastructural projects all over the country, the
alarming increase of our debt portfolio, the average Gambian's lot has been
decimated in real terms? And why the legion of those subsisting below the
poverty line has jumped 9% despite the sprouting of all these "projects"
that you claim are signs of "developments" taking place in the Gambia?>>

Instead of trying your luck at solving the conundrum, you promise to send us
reports of "developments" happening inside the Gambia... can anyone be as
dodgy and dishonest as you in your attempts to cover the ugly truths that is
the stuff of the average Gambian???????????

Your continued silence on this conundrum should be taken to mean that you
accept that the average Gambian lives in "abject poverty" - to borrow an apt
phrase from you.
