>Hello Coach,

>When it rains, it pours!  Well, Yahya Jammeh, at this period of his
>presidency, can attest to this. He is faced with myrid of problems that
>there seems to be no end to them: inflation, free fall of the dalasi, high
>level CORRUPTION, fuel shortages, inability to conduct simple Hajj flights
>(this year there will be some who WILL NOT leave Banjul International for
>which we are all sorry for real). Jammeh has now added xenophobia to the
>list.  They are so ignorant but they do not even know it.And blaming
>foreigners for AFRC's failure will only make matters worse.  No, Coach,
>these inept school drop-outs will have to resign in order to save The
>Gambia.  Anyway, back to Yahya Jammeh and the APRCs woes.
>If you recall, I reported on the visit of the Libyan Prime Minister to
>Gambia over a year ago. Well, during the visit, he visited Bwiam Hospital -
>one of the white elephant projects of the APRC - and was visibly upset
>about the progress made in implementing the project. The gentleman had
>every right to be upset because when the Gang of Six stole the money
>earmarked for the hospital's completion, Jammeh sent Baba Jobe to Tripoli
>to see their former friend, Godfather and Great Protector, Mouamar
>Ghadaffi, for financial assistance to complete the project.  Ghadaffi
>obliged after demanding cost estimates, designs and estimate time of
>completion.  By this time Ghadaffi was beginning to get wise to these
>criminals. He has had other terrible experiences with the Gang of Six
>concerning MONEY.  Yahya Jammeh, money, money , money. That's his number
>one problem and the same applies to the rest of the Gang of Six. Anyway,
>that is another story of its own.
>
>The estimated cost to complete the entire project was $1 million. The
>Libyans gave these crooks the money expecting completion well before the
>PM's visit. So that was the reason why the gentleman was upset on site.  He
>asked for explaination and a satisfactory one at that, but Libya never got
>one.  The million bucks went into the pockets of Yahya Jammeh and members
>of the Gang of Six. Once the Libyans were convinced that they were once
>again fleeced by Yahya and his cohorts, Ghadaffi gave an order, and then
>followed by a telephone call to Yahya Jammeh, demanding return of the
>money.
>
>As a consequence of the LEVEL OF APRC CORRUPTION, the Bwiam Hospital stands
>incomplete. So Libya has now turned off the tap (which is most welcomed by
>Gambians), and both Yahya Jammeh and Baba Jobe and by extension the other
>members of the Gang, became unwelcomed guests in Libya.  Ghadaffi continues
>to demand that the entire sum be refunded. Jammeh is expected to stop by
>Bwiam on his Meet the People Tour.  We will be all ears and microphones to
>listen to what he is going to give as excuse for the incomplete hospital.
>I will listen and report back to you and your very attentive membership.
>
>Finally, please extend to all your subscribers their kind words and their
>reference to your sources.  We will continue to expose this CORRUPT APRC
>regime until they say GOOG BYE.
