Well, if a government is using the provision of basic services to it's
citizenry as something to flaunt, then you know they are really grasping at
straws. It is a shame that we have not had a reliable electricity supply and
other basic services have been wanting. Therefore, the provision of these
services, using the people's tax money is nothing to brag about. This is
standard fare in any country. I guess this is news in The Gambia because the
people's tax money and other national revenues end up in the pockets of the
corrupt leadership we have been burdened with, so if for once, they spend
even a penny towards basic services for the people, then this is big news
that they send Tombongand a cabinet official to announce on the L. These are
the kinds of minds we are dealing with as so-called leadership in our country
today. How unfortunate and what a sad state of affairs.

 What's up with you brother Tombong? Why do you have to take all that pain to
 do stuff like that? Ask yourself why somebody is pointing fingers at
 you.Come on buddy! Be a man and face the bull by it's horns.Come out from
 the cold! Be aware that Gambia is a small country, you can run but you can't
 hide.
 About the the so-called "new" NAWEC generator you are fascinated with, how
 many times have been hearing the Jammeh-directed government say to people
 amongst others that "there will be no power outage by July 22nd" That was
 few months after they seized power. Again "there will be no July 22nd
 celebration if continuous power supply is not maintained" People are tired
 of hearing these bogus "promises". You better wake up my brother before the
 train to progress leaves you behind.
