OK, Mr Jobe. I was actually trying to see if we can trigger  a discussion on
this matter so as to explore the fact that there are no Gambian  laws to
protect the rights of musicians in a situation like this, and what could
possibly be done to remedy this particular situation and also in terms of
perhaps working with the proper authorities to formulate laws. I suppose it
si a rather ambitious proposal, and not even sure anyone would pick up on the
topic, but it also appears that there is a lot of  anger and so we will
probably not get anywhere with this.
I meant well.
