As sad as this letter and the circumstance surrounding it maybe, it troubles me that the observer can't find anything else newsworthy in the Gambia to write about but to publish this letter. If anyone from the daily observer is reading this please afford me a column in your paper and I will be sure to contribute something worthy of reading.

I guess the President and his team can high-five behind their palace
wall now that 70 yr old Mr. Dumbuya has apologized and begged for
their mercy! It says a lot about the character of a government that
uses the might of state against a 70 yr old petty trader.
And we wonder why Gambia scores a very unimpressive 34% on the
Global Corruption Perception Index (CPI), dropping from rank 77 to
105 from 2011 to 2012. To paraphrase a Mandinka saying " a guy
who plays god at home is often wussy among his fellow men."
It looks like everything they call "ndam", heads straight to the
proverbial "Wall of shame".

Businessman apologises to President Jammeh
Africa » Gambia
Friday, December 07, 2012
One Alhaji Mustapha Dumbuya of Thomas
Street in Banjul,has sent a letter of apology to the
president
of the Republic, His Excellency Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr
Yahya Jammeh, for
the incorrect and untruthful statement uttered during the
president’s tour of
the Albert Market.
The letter reads:
I humbly hereby write to apologise you
for the incorrect and
untruthful statement I have uttered during your visit to the
Albert Market.
Sir, my statement that the store belonged
to me was untrue.
What I in fact, actually wanted to say was, I was the tenant
for the store for
over 20 years; and because I thought you would extend your
usual kindness by
way of compensation or gift to me, I got over excited and
lied but I never
intended to defraud you in any way. However, it was all my
fault and I humbly ask for your
forgiveness and pardon.
I am 70 years old and I have never done
anything like this
before. I have a large family and with my age, I am still
the breadwinner for
the family. I again apologise you for lying to you and I
promise I shall never
do such a thing again.
Alhaji
Mustapha Dumbuya
No. 1
Thompson Street, Banjul
