Masoud, Halifa is of the opinion that, the wage seeking reporters are
in tandem with him in the crusade. However, he of all people should
have known that, today's Gambia is each for his pouse and God for all.
The reporters don't require reminding on how they get the job. If they
are doing the job and they require peace and quiet, that should be
made available. Pa Samba can easily provide funds for a new reporters
office, with the editor doing the editing. Halifa can have his time to
do the public service. Just a thought.
