Within a 'limping' prose or should i say a countering "gaarowaaleh"i saw
lope holes that sent signals which clearly indicated that i was TOTALLY
misconstrued!

In my article Mr.Analyst! i wrote "part of the things..." to be raised
during the visit of the Gambian delegation was the issue of the ferries.Yero
never said that the only reason for a 'batch' of ministers to visit Kiev was
to bring ferries. Yero wasn't engaging on any form of propaganda but was
instead reponding to an article where certain concerned Gambians wanted to
know what the gvt was ready to do as far as the Banjul/Barra ferry crossing
was concerned!

Likewise the disaster didn't affect the ferry brother! i can fully remember
when Habib wrote "gaalie koung"!
So the distortion of given information or facts which some are intending to
use by attempting to carricature certain postings,isn't only ridiculous but
sheer intellectual dishonesty! The intellectual gymnastics within cyber
space shouldn't be so palatable to the extent of CALLING THE SHARING OF
IDEAS AND INFORMATION PROPAGANDA!
Reaching for a pillow case wasn't what Yero wanted brother!Yero sent in a
version that was meant for the audience  regardless of any political
affliation!
Who cares about propaganda when the issue of people's welfare and security
stands up?! Who?!
Those ferries when they come will surely be there for any president or
regime that jumps up again one day!
Did the current regime throw away the ferries they inherited from Jawara and
co?! No!
Will the future regimes throw away all that is being physically put in place
by Jammeh and co?! No!
So who cares about propaganda in this era of mourning?!
Lets be realistic when analysing and avoid the abstract façade of issues for
the sake of making so-called intellectual POINTS!

The cost effective part of trips depends on what is gained from a wider
spectrum! So ministers and Ambassadors alike as far the Gambian echelon is
concerned(if we resort to the renumeration of perdiems)! They earn the same
rates! However,ambassadors report back to the home-based authorities for
further scrutiny and this applies to all systems in the world! So in urgent
cases i believe wisdom should show us that the minister can just go and do
the finishing touches.
This syndrome of archaic chains of red tape administration which is based on
the fever of hierarchy only breeds retardation and more wastage.
Pretending to have monopoly over the "finesse" of administration which we
usually derive from the hard core of theoretical plans doesn't help in all
situations!
So anyone who calls for a pillow case can yawn and later on dream but thats
not what Yero was calling for!
P E R I O D!

YEROPULLOH!
