It is such arrogance that will be unearthed come what may Coach., Does
who worhsip your soul shall continue to do so, and I am not one of
them.
 Don't bother Demba, we expect a simple formula from Gainako, collect
news item from the opposition politicians themselves in matters like
this. The views of rival parties shouldn't be republished verbatim.
Foroyaa will not in a million years publish anything from Gainako, no
chance. We want matters dealing with the UPD, NRP or GMC to be
reported by an independent reporter of Gainako not republishing a
piece from Foroyaa.
Thanks Demba
