Kejera,

I thank you for your concern. I am sure most people would want a very
constructive engagement among subscribers. This is also my wish. I know that
it should be my role to inspire other Gambians to be at their best and not
to play the role of an intellectual demi-god. What we have fought throughout
is a personality cult. No human being can be a depository of the sum total
of human knowledge. This is why we have always been opposed to 'isms' being
put behind the names of persons as if there are some form of social
prophets. It is our view that human knowledge is a common property. Each has
a right to take from the common stock and each has a duty to contribute
one's quota to its store house.

I must, however, admit that my language has degenerated in response to what
I conceive to be a deliberate attempt to befog issues. If I were in your
position, I will play a waiting game until this dust settles down. I have
studied my discourse with Hamjatta and Saul and do not see that I can handle
it in any other way but to come down to what I conceive to be their level of
intervention. I will later apologise to anyone who does not expect me to
adopt such a level of discourse.

Greetings.

Halifa.
