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.
