Mr. Secka, thanks for asking. Instead of having doubts about me when I
never took a single butut from Gambia, never killed anyone, never hired or
fired anyone, etc., why don't you begin by asking yourself the question
where Jammeh is getting his money from. Do you believe it is from Allah's
bank, as he told you? Are you not concerned that your countryfolk are
starving while Yaya told us that his great, great grandchildren will never
be poor? Was it not you who told us the other day what Africa needs to do
to get out of the mess we are in? Then how come you could not bring
yourself to even questioning the criminal that is Yaya. How interesting
that you conceive jeolousy, hatred, and other convenient notions that
Africans tend to present when their beloved leaders are attacked? I am
not here to convince you. As for my source of information, first you have
to be around here to know the issues. Secondly, you need to make it your
business to participate in your struggle. Finally, don't be in denial.
Just to test your memory, did Yaya say he was going to flood the maket
with rice? Did he receive 300,000 bags of rice? You want to know my
source? If I need to tell you, then I rest my case.

>>PRESIDENT Yahya Jammeh has asked members of the business community
>> engaged in profiteering to put an end to the prevailing high prices for
>> essential commodities such as rice, flour, meat and bread. He warned
>> that if prices for basic commodities remain high he would flood the
>> market with goods to teach unscrupulous businesspeople in the country a
>> lesson.

>>The President was speaking on Wednesday at the Gambia Ports Authority
>> where he received a consignment of 300,000 bags of rice imported from
>> Burma. The rice bags were marked 'APRC Operation No Compromise'. The
>> Head of State also
>>commissioned a sugar bagging plant located at the GPA bonded warehouse
>> complex at Half-Die in Banjul. The plant has a capacity to produce
>> 1,200 bags of sugar per hour.
>>
>>According to the new plant's proprietor Lamin Gaye of L.B Gaye and
>> Sons, the
>>new facility would ensure a steady supply of sugar in the local market,
>> reduce foreign exchange out-flows and create employment opportunities
>> for Gambians.
>>
>>Concerning the sugar bagging plant, the President assured the
>> proprietor, Lamin Gaye, of the government's support, and expressed
>> optimism that the project would contribute a great deal toward reducing
>> the cost of sugar in the local market.
>>
>>President Jammeh thanked Gaye for being the first Gambian to respond to
>> his call for the business community in The Gambia to move from
>> warehouse business to value added operations.
>>
>>Speaking earlier, the managing director of the Gambia Ports Authority,
>> Adama
>>Deen, said the sugar re-bagging plant in GPA's bonded warehouses
>> complex is the first of its kind in The Gambia, and is intended to
>> reduce the cost of sugar, making the product available and affordable
