Gambia-L:

The unedited e-mail below came from one of my sources in the heart of the
Gambian Government.

Kebba Dampha: Thanks for the good job you did on HILO. You are an asset!

Yus and George Sarr: Thanks for the postings. Good and thoughtful they were!
In fact, I have decided to ignore this Alan Collins because I have other
important things to do.

>as far as I am aware.Every Gambian interested in the groundnut sub-sector
>knows that Alimenta is one of the biggest players in the groundnut
>business. So please do not mention Alimenta in the same breath with HILO.
>Anyway, more will be revealed of HILO as you have seen information has
>already stated coming in.  Brother, you have'nt seen nothing yet.

>You indicated that you have thus far paid out D10 million to farmers and
>that you have already invested $3 million.  Well, for your information, at
>this time of the year, three years ago, Alimenta pumped into the system $20
>million. No wonder with your "investment" of $3 million so far, the dalasi
>continue to depreciate by the minute.  Why bring in your money in drips and
>drabs?

>No one is opposed to private operators entering the sector but it must be
>done in a transparent manner.  That is all we are asking for. Is that too
>much to ask of you?
