"Being responsible sometimes means pissing people off." HI and now LO
Collins seems to have been royally pissed off by our honest interest in
ensuring that our farmers are not, again, buffaloed by Yaya and his parade
of companies-come-to-save-our-economy, to threaten us. I take it that you
and your company did not investigate or do a feasibility study on the Gambia
before "investing" in our country? Or, were you guaranteed ease of market
entry and monopoly by those not averse to having their pockets greased?
Given the groundnut buying fiasco of the past, any six year old just
learning about needs, wants, and responsibility understands the prudence of
investigating an "investor". I think your company and any company for that
matter, with "good intentions", has been served notice that we won't engage
in a wait and see game when by the time we have gathered enough facts, it is
too late. An evolving population cannot afford to be complacent and we will
remain passionate, responsible, vigilant, and combative for Gambia, nothing
against you, if you can understand it.
