The management should know that free speech is to tell
people what they do want to hear or read.If we are
trying to build our country on that ethics, I hope
there is no need for censorship.At the moment the
focus of the campaign is against the new media bill.
what will happen it the Gambia-l management act in the
same manner like the dictatorial regime back home.?It
seems the L as a forum for issues related to Gambia is
becoming meaningless with the managerial control of
free speech.
