Fina,
The fact that it is just a rumor and nothing you are sure of it might be very 
premature to break the news on the L— That is just my thought.
However, I personally worked with Mr. Thomasi before and I can testify in to 
any level that Mr. Tombong is far better than him. This is a guy who calls 
employees in his office and threatens them that there are some scholarships 
for the then Information and Broadcasting, but the fact that they cannot be 
given at that moment for they have been there long and it is late to give 
them out. Mr. Thomasi was the Director who antagonized all his seniors and 
juniors within the department and ministry by telling stories. This guy was 
the same one who was given some money to buy a car for the department when 
the main office had no car, but one motor cycle and he bought it and was used 
by only his family.
Anyway, it might be too early, but if people are judged by their previous 
acts, I do not think Marseille deserves any government position. And I do not 
think Tombong will dislike the promotion just because he is loosing a 
sensitive position. I have no doubt that he will continue to serve this 
government to any level he is called for. I personally have my doubts on a 
lot of things Tombong does, but to give a devil its due, I do not doubt his 
loyalty to the regime and loosing him is going to be another blow to them.
Whiles we all wait for the news, I must tell you to keep on the good job you 
are doing. Some of us enjoy your contributions.

Ousman Bojang.
