Why do we have to label people with invectives such as vermin; the fact
that Mr. Roberts moved the counting to 18 days is in no way criminal
because the act have not taken place and if it took place, an evidence of
fraud must be determined to call it a crime. Gabbi Roberts's move is at
best confusing and at worse smelly. Unless the Gambia is highly
computerize, on the spot counting will never happened. Lets give officials
a chance to perform their duties,after which we can accuse them of whatever
base on their handling of affairs. Intemperate language hauled at officials
before an election does nothing but divide us. so people, lets be vigilant
in our zeal for change but lets also be civil about it.
Thanks
