Basiru,

Why don't you let Halifa answer the pending questions first before judging
anything? What "petty politics" is involved in the questions being raised.
Where is the "intellectual dishonesty?"

I'm not a public figure. Neither is Hamjatta as far as I can tell. I don't
know the gentleman. Never even heard of him. I've never said I have the
solutions to our country's problem. I have some ideas, but I haven't made it
my business to tell the country how to do things. Halifa has. I, (and many
Gambians apparently,) have issues with the positions he's taken in the cases
in question. He is yet to explain any of them satisfactorily. So, instead of
butting in and making these ignorant comments intermittently, why don't YOU
shut up and let Halifa the politician answer citizens' questions. If you're
not so prejudiced, you'd have realized by now that several things Halifa has
claimed just don't add up!

In any case, your opinion doesn't mean SHIT in this debate. You can follow
it, or you can DROP DEAD! It doesn't make one difference.

Saul.

PS. Just as an advice: Always review your writing before posting it online.
It's hard to understand you when you keep violating BASIC grammatical rules.
You jumble ideas; your sentences run into each other, etc. You totally
confuse me. There's an Elementary book called "Commas and Stops." Please get
something like that! There's no point in having any debate/argument when
people have to guess what you're saying half the time. Sorry, I have to
break this news to you.

Saul.
